A recent LKML patch used a tool called kconfirm to find Kconfig "dead code." The tool is so obscure that even Andrew Morton was puzzled, replying:

"OK, I give up. Where do I learn about kconfirm?"

It’s refreshing to see the person overseeing the kernel’s most critical code have a "no idea what this is" moment! Like Andrew, I’m dying to know—where DO we learn about this? Haha! 😂
