 #  The way it works is this:
 #
-#   First it finds a config to work with. Since a different version, or
-#   MIN_CONFIG may cause different dependecies, it must run through this
-#   preparation.
-#
-#   Overwrites any config set in the bad config with a config set in
-#   either the MIN_CONFIG or ADD_CONFIG. Thus, make sure these configs
-#   are minimal and do not disable configs you want to test:
-#   (ie.  # CONFIG_FOO is not set).
-#
-#   An oldconfig is run on the bad config and any new config that
-#   appears will be added to the configs to test.
-#
-#   Finally, it generates a config with the above result and runs it
-#   again through make oldconfig to produce a config that should be
-#   satisfied by kconfig.
-#
-#   Then it starts the bisect.
-#
-#   The configs to test are cut in half. If all the configs in this
-#   half depend on a config in the other half, then the other half
-#   is tested instead. If no configs are enabled by either half, then
-#   this means a circular dependency exists and the test fails.
-#
-#   A config is created with the test half, and the bisect test is run.
-#
-#   If the bisect succeeds, then all configs in the generated config
-#   are removed from the configs to test and added to the configs that
-#   will be enabled for all builds (they will be enabled, but not be part
-#   of the configs to examine).
-#
-#   If the bisect fails, then all test configs that were not enabled by
-#   the config file are removed from the test. These configs will not
-#   be enabled in future tests. Since current config failed, we consider
-#   this to be a subset of the config that we started with.
-#
-#   When we are down to one config, it is considered the bad config.
-#
-#   Note, the config chosen may not be the true bad config. Due to
-#   dependencies and selections of the kbuild system, mulitple
-#   configs may be needed to cause a failure. If you disable the
-#   config that was found and restart the test, if the test fails
-#   again, it is recommended to rerun the config_bisect with a new
-#   bad config without the found config enabled.
+#   You can specify a good config with CONFIG_BISECT_GOOD, otherwise it
+#   will use the MIN_CONFIG, and if that's not specified, it will use
+#   the config that comes with "make defconfig".
+#
+#   It runs both the good and bad configs through a make oldconfig to
+#   make sure that they are set up for the kernel that is checked out.
+#
+#   It then reads the configs that are set, as well as the ones that are
+#   not set for both the good and bad configs, and then compares them.
+#   It will set half of the good configs within the bad config (note,
+#   "set" means to make the bad config match the good config, a config
+#   in the good config that is off, will be turned off in the bad
+#   config. That is considered a "set").
+#
+#   It tests this new config and if it works, it becomes the new good
+#   config, otherwise it becomes the new bad config. It continues this
+#   process until there's only one config left and it will report that
+#   config.
+#
+#   The "bad config" can also be a config that is needed to boot but was
+#   disabled because it depended on something that wasn't set.
+#
+#   During this process, it saves the current good and bad configs in
+#   ${TMP_DIR}/good_config and ${TMP_DIR}/bad_config respectively.
+#   If you stop the test, you can copy them to a new location to
+#   reuse them again.

+#   MIN_CONFIG is ignored.
