Except silentoldconfig, valid_stdin is 1, so check_stdin() is no-op.

oldconfig and silentoldconfig work almost in the same way except that
the latter generates additional files.  Both ask users for input for
new symbols.

I do not know why only silentoldconfig requires stdio be tty.

  $ rm -f .config; touch .config
  $ yes "" | make oldconfig > stdout
  $ rm -f .config; touch .config
  $ yes "" | make silentoldconfig > stdout
  make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
  make: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
  $ tail -n 4 stdout
  Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update configuration.

  scripts/kconfig/Makefile:40: recipe for target 'silentoldconfig' failed
  Makefile:507: recipe for target 'silentoldconfig' failed

Redirection is useful, for example, for testing where we want to give
particular key inputs from a test file, then check the result.

Lots of weird stuff indeed...

Cheers,

The general idea was to error out if stdout was not a tty and
kconfig wanted to prompt the user for anything.

So we avoided having a kconfig that would hang waiting for
user inputs when the user could not see that anything was prompted for.

The actual implementation may not follow this today as many seems not
to be aware of this little trick.
