    kconfig: Add yes2modconfig and mod2yesconfig targets. · 89b90609
    Tetsuo Handa authored
    Since kernel configs provided by syzbot are close to "make allyesconfig",
    it takes long time to rebuild. This is especially waste of time when we
    need to rebuild for many times (e.g. doing manual printk() inspection,
    bisect operations).
    
    We can save time if we can exclude modules which are irrelevant to each
    problem. But "make localmodconfig" cannot exclude modules which are built
    into vmlinux because /sbin/lsmod output is used as the source of modules.
    
    Therefore, this patch adds "make yes2modconfig" which converts from =y
    to =m if possible. After confirming that the interested problem is still
    reproducible, we can try "make localmodconfig" (and/or manually tune
    based on "Modules linked in:" line) in order to exclude modules which are
    irrelevant to the interested problem. While we are at it, this patch also
    adds "make mod2yesconfig" which converts from =m to =y in case someone
    wants to convert from =m to =y after "make localmodconfig".
