It should be Documentation/build/kconfig.txt.
Introduced by commit 2af238e455ef5fd31c2f7a06c2db3f13d843b9bf
("kbuild: make *config usage docs").

Create a kconfig user assistance guide, with a few tips and hints
about using menuconfig, xconfig, and gconfig.
Mostly contains user interface, environment variables, and search topics,
along with mini.config/custom.config usage.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.
For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
The patch reverts these commits:
- 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set
config symbol from environment variable")
- 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
set 64BIT with all*config targets")
Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.

The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the
value of CONFIG_64BIT.
This is for example useful for powerpc to generate
allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this:
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n
To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.

Mikael Pettersson pointed out to me that a recent patch of mine (commit
620034c84d1d939717bdfbe02c51a3fee43541c3), that made some corrections to the
README file, accidentally listed the Cris architecture twice. Whoops.
This patch removes the duplicate.

Here's a small patch which
- adds a few archs to the current list of supported platforms.
- adds a few missing slashes at the end of URLs.
- adds a few references to additional documentation.
- adds "make config" to the list of possible configuration targets.
- makes a few other minor changes.

We have no options which the user can set in the Makefile. Only the
EXTRAVERSION, which is also useful in place of the "backup modules"
suggestion.
We don't have configuration options in the top Makefile.

The emergence of so-called "dot releases" that are non-incremental patches
against a base kernel requires different handling of patches (revert
previous patches before applying the newest one). This patch adds a
paragrach to $TOPDIR/README explaining how to do deal with dot release
patches.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
