As Linux 2.2 is approaching, it's bad that we have so many undocumented
kernel configration options. I mean the options that the user can change
but no help is available in Documentation/Configure.help. So I made a
script that searches for undocumented config options. make checkhelp.
Attached are a script and a patch. The script is a perl script meant to go
in scripts directory. It wants a list of files on command line and
searches them all for patterns like CONFIG_* where the line begins with
either 'bool', 'tristate', 'dep_tristate', 'string', 'int' or 'hex' (did I
miss some?). If there's no corresponding help file entry, it outputs a
warning (but no more than once for any option).
The diff is a 3-line patch to add 'make checkhelp' to the main Makefile.
Below is a sample output taken from 2.1.129ac3:
