    x86: Add "make tinyconfig" to configure the tiniest possible kernel · 0da1d4a0
    Josh Triplett authored
    Since commit 5d2acfc7 ("kconfig: make
    allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT") in 3.15-rc1,
    "make allnoconfig" disables every possible config option.
    
    However, a few configuration options (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
    OPTIMIZE_INLINING) produce a smaller kernel when turned on, and a few
    choices exist (compression, highmem, allocator) for which a non-default
    option produces a smaller kernel.
    
    Add a "tinyconfig" option, which starts from allnoconfig and then sets
    these options to configure the tiniest possible kernel.  This provides a
    better baseline for embedded systems or efforts to reduce kernel size.
