Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] scripts: kconfig: merge_config.sh: use awk in checks too
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 12:57:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122105751.2186609-2-mikko.rapeli@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260122105751.2186609-1-mikko.rapeli@linaro.org>
Converting from shell/sed/grep loop to awk improves runtime
checks of Yocto genericarm64 kernel config from 20 seconds
to under 1 second. The checks catch this kind of issues:
WARNING: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM differs:
Requested value: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y
Actual value: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=m
WARNING: CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK differs:
Requested value: CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=n
Actual value: CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=y
WARNING: Value requested for CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL not in final .config
Requested value: CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL=y
Actual value:

v3: use $VAR syntax for shell variables, changed output to be a bit more
similar to the shell script version before
v2: awk from ${AWK}
