+ * "Optimize" a list of dependencies as spit out by gcc -MD
+ * for the kernel build
+ * ===========================================================================

+ *
+ *
+ * Introduction:
+ *
+ * gcc produces a very nice and correct list of dependencies which
+ * tells make when to remake a file.
+ *
+ * To use this list as-is however has the drawback that virtually
+ * every file in the kernel includes autoconf.h.
+ *
+ * If the user re-runs make *config, autoconf.h will be
+ * regenerated.  make notices that and will rebuild every file which
+ * includes autoconf.h, i.e. basically all files. This is extremely
+ * annoying if the user just changed CONFIG_HIS_DRIVER from n to m.
+ *
+ * So we play the same trick that "mkdep" played before. We replace
+ * the dependency on autoconf.h by a dependency on every config
+ * option which is mentioned in any of the listed prerequisites.
+ *
+ * kconfig populates a tree in include/config/ with an empty file
+ * for each config symbol and when the configuration is updated
+ * the files representing changed config options are touched
+ * which then let make pick up the changes and the files that use
+ * the config symbols are rebuilt.
+ *
+ * So if the user changes his CONFIG_HIS_DRIVER option, only the objects
+ * which depend on "include/config/his/driver.h" will be rebuilt,
+ * so most likely only his driver ;-)
+ *
+ * The idea above dates, by the way, back to Michael E Chastain, AFAIK.
+ *
+ * So to get dependencies right, there are two issues:
+ * o if any of the files the compiler read changed, we need to rebuild
+ * o if the command line given to the compile the file changed, we
+ *   better rebuild as well.
+ *
+ * The former is handled by using the -MD output, the later by saving
+ * the command line used to compile the old object and comparing it
+ * to the one we would now use.
+ *
+ * Again, also this idea is pretty old and has been discussed on
+ * kbuild-devel a long time ago. I don't have a sensibly working
+ * internet connection right now, so I rather don't mention names
+ * without double checking.
+ *
+ * This code here has been based partially based on mkdep.c, which
+ * says the following about its history:
+ *
+ *   Copyright abandoned, Michael Chastain, <mailto:mec@shout.net>.
+ *   This is a C version of syncdep.pl by Werner Almesberger.
+ *
+ *
+ * It is invoked as
+ *
+ *   fixdep <depfile> <target> <cmdline>
+ *
+ * and will read the dependency file <depfile>
+ *
+ * The transformed dependency snipped is written to stdout.
+ *
+ * It first generates a line
+ *
+ *   cmd_<target> = <cmdline>
+ *
+ * and then basically copies the .<target>.d file to stdout, in the
+ * process filtering out the dependency on autoconf.h and adding
+ * dependencies on include/config/my/option.h for every
+ * CONFIG_MY_OPTION encountered in any of the prerequisites.
+ *
+ * It will also filter out all the dependencies on *.ver. We need
+ * to make sure that the generated version checksum are globally up
+ * to date before even starting the recursive build, so it's too late
+ * at this point anyway.
+ *
+ * We don't even try to really parse the header files, but
+ * merely grep, i.e. if CONFIG_FOO is mentioned in a comment, it will
+ * be picked up as well. It's not a problem with respect to
+ * correctness, since that can only give too many dependencies, thus
+ * we cannot miss a rebuild. Since people tend to not mention totally
+ * unrelated CONFIG_ options all over the place, it's not an
+ * efficiency problem either.
+ *
+ * (Note: it'd be easy to port over the complete mkdep state machine,
+ *  but I don't think the added complexity is worth it)
