But, slightly related to configuration, IMHO.
At least they carry timestamps that are updated
when kernel configuration is changed.
The difference between include/config/ and include/ksym/ is that
files under include/config/ are necessary for building
external modules (so should be cleaned away by mrproper)
whereas include/ksym/ is unnecessary for external modules
since vmlinux and in-kernel modules do not depend on
external modules.
I wonder if trimming symbols makes sense for external modules.
EXPORT_SYMBOL(_GPL) in external modules are always trimmed
since vmlinux and in-kernel modules never rely on them.
If an external module exports symbols,
it expects they will be used by other external modules.
So, the patch like follows make sense?
kbuild: do not trim symbols in external modules
