Instead, list all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the targets can be generated dynamically. Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

Currently the Kconfig fragments in kernel/configs and arch/*/configs
that aren't used internally aren't discoverable through "make help",
which consists of hard-coded lists of config fragments. Instead, list
all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the

Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and
comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

x86/configs: Add x86 debugging Kconfig fragment plus docs 2022-04-06T17:56:29+00:00 Dave Hansen dave.hansen@linux.intel.com 2022-03-31T17:57:28+00:00 9b5a7f4a2a8dcda461f9c7a6671150f4a8a902e8 The kernel has a wide variety of debugging options to help catch and squash bugs. However, new debugging is added all the time and the existing options can be hard to find. Add a Kconfig fragment with the debugging options which tip maintainers expect to be used to test contributions.
