Subject[RFC PATCH 1/3] kconfig: support an environment variable for non-interactive syncconfig
Date
When Kconfig files are updated, or build environments etc. are changed,
'make syncconfig' is invoked, which will show prompts if new config
options are available. Users must explicitly input values for all
new symbols. This is the conventional behavior for the kernel build.

However, it would be useful to process this non-interactively in such
cases as package building.

Package maintainers create source packages with the .config configured
on their machines. Package builders may work on different machine
environments, where different compilers are installed.

With the recent changes in Kconfig, the .config contents depend on
the compiler. During package building, it is not sensible to show
prompts for new symbols; it would be just annoys script automation.

Add a new switch, KCONFIG_NONINTERACTIVE_UPDATE. If this environment
variable is set, Kconfig will sync the configuration non-interactively.
All new symbols are silently set to their default values.
