If include/config/auto.conf.cmd is lost for some reasons, it is not
self-healing, so the top Makefile misses to run syncconfig.
Move include/config/auto.conf.cmd to the target side.
I used a pattern rule instead of a normal rule here although it is
a bit gross.
If the rule were written with a normal rule like this,
include/config/auto.conf \
include/config/auto.conf.cmd \
include/config/tristate.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG)
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile syncconfig
... syncconfig would be executed per target.
Using a pattern rule makes sure that syncconfig is executed just once
because Make assumes the recipe will create all of the targets.
Here is a quote from the GNU Make manual [1]:
"Pattern rules may have more than one target. Unlike normal rules,
this does not act as many different rules with the same prerequisites
and recipe. If a pattern rule has multiple targets, make knows that
the rule's recipe is responsible for making all of the targets. The
recipe is executed only once to make all the targets. When searching
for a pattern rule to match a target, the target patterns of a rule
other than the one that matches the target in need of a rule are
incidental: make worries only about giving a recipe and prerequisites
to the file presently in question. However, when this file's recipe is
run, the other targets are marked as having been updated themselves."

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
