From bc081dd6e9f622c73334dc465359168543ccaabf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Marek Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 16:38:33 +0100 Subject: kbuild: generate modules.builtin To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y' or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in obj-Y.
