kconfig.h: explain IS_MODULE(), IS_ENABLED()
Extend IS_MODULE() and IS_ENABLED comments to explain why one might use "#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FOO)" instead of "#ifdef CONFIG_FOO". To wit, "#ifdef CONFIG_FOO" is true only for CONFIG_FOO=y, while "#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FOO)" is true for both CONFIG_FOO=y and CONFIG_FOO=m. This is because "CONFIG_FOO=m" in .config does not result in "CONFIG_FOO" being defined. The actual definitions are in autoconf.h, where: CONFIG_FOO=y results in #define CONFIG_FOO 1 CONFIG_FOO=m results in #define CONFIG_FOO_MODULE 1 Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
