kconfig: do not reparent the menu inside a choice block

The boolean 'choice' is used to list exclusively selected config
options.

You must not add a dependency between choice members, because such a
dependency would create an invisible entry.

In the following test case, it is impossible to choose 'C'.

[Test Case 1]

choice
prompt "Choose one, but how to choose C?"

config A
bool "A"

config B
bool "B"

config C
bool "C"
depends on A

endchoice

Hence, Kconfig shows the following error message:

Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
Kconfig:1: choice <choice> contains symbol C
Kconfig:10: symbol C is part of choice A
Kconfig:4: symbol A is part of choice <choice>
For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst
subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations"

However, Kconfig does not report anything for the following similar code:

[Test Case 2]

choice
prompt "Choose one, but how to choose B?"

config A
bool "A"

config B
bool "B"
depends on A

config C
bool "C"

endchoice

This is because menu_finalize() reparents the menu tree when an entry
depends on the preceding one.

With reparenting, the menu tree:

choice
|- A
|- B
\- C

... will be transformed into the following structure:

choice
|- A
| \- B
\- C

Consequently, Kconfig considers only 'A' and 'C' as choice members.
This behavior is awkward. The second test case should be an error too.

This commit stops reparenting inside a choice.

kconfig: Add `make mod2noconfig` to disable module options

When converting a modular kernel to a monolithic kernel, once the kernel

# ed562c53 13-Mar-2021 Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

kconfig: refactor option parse code

The current option parse code is clumsy.

The 's' option is separately handled in an if-conditional due to the
following code:

input_mode = (enum input_mode)opt;

If 's' is moved to the switch statement, the invalid value 's' would
be assigned to the input_mode.

Another potential problem is that we are mixing 'enum input_mode' and
ASCII characters. They could overwrap if we add more input modes.

To separate them out, set the flag field of long options to a pointer
of input_mode_opt. For mode select options, getopt_long() returns 0,
which never causes overwrap with ASCII characters that represent short
options.

kconfig: fix 'invalid option' for help option

scripts/kconfig/conf supports -? option to show the help message.
This is not wired up to Makefile, so nobody would notice this, but
it also shows 'invalid option' message.

$ ./scripts/kconfig/conf -?
./scripts/kconfig/conf: invalid option -- '?'
Usage: ./scripts/kconfig/conf [-s] [option] <kconfig-file>
[option] is _one_ of the following:
--listnewconfig List new options
--helpnewconfig List new options and help text
--oldaskconfig Start a new configuration using a line-oriented program
...

The reason is the '?' is missing in the short option list passed to
getopt_long().

While I fixed this issue, I also changed the option '?' to 'h'.
I prefer -h (or --help, if a long option is also desired).

kconfig: Add yes2modconfig and mod2yesconfig targets.

Since kernel configs provided by syzbot are close to "make allyesconfig",
it takes long time to rebuild. This is especially waste of time when we
need to rebuild for many times (e.g. doing manual printk() inspection,
bisect operations).

We can save time if we can exclude modules which are irrelevant to each
problem. But "make localmodconfig" cannot exclude modules which are built
into vmlinux because /sbin/lsmod output is used as the source of modules.

Therefore, this patch adds "make yes2modconfig" which converts from =y
to =m if possible. After confirming that the interested problem is still
reproducible, we can try "make localmodconfig" (and/or manually tune
based on "Modules linked in:" line) in order to exclude modules which are
irrelevant to the interested problem. While we are at it, this patch also
adds "make mod2yesconfig" which converts from =m to =y in case someone
wants to convert from =m to =y after "make localmodconfig".

kconfig: allow all config targets to write auto.conf if missing

Currently, only syncconfig creates or updates include/config/auto.conf
and some other files. Other config targets create or update only the
.config file.

When you configure and build the kernel from a pristine source tree,
any config target is followed by syncconfig in the build stage since
include/config/auto.conf is missing.

We are moving compiler tests from Makefile to Kconfig. It means that
parsing Kconfig files will be more costly since Kconfig invokes the
compiler commands internally. Thus, we want to avoid invoking Kconfig
twice (one for *config to create the .config, and one for syncconfig
to synchronize the auto.conf). If auto.conf does not exist, we can
generate all configuration files in the first configuration stage,
which will save the syncconfig in the build stage.

Please note this should be done only when auto.conf is missing. If
*config blindly did this, time stamp files under include/config/ would
be unnecessarily touched, triggering unneeded rebuild of objects.

I assume a scenario like this:

1. You have a source tree that has already been built
with CONFIG_FOO disabled

2. Run "make menuconfig" to enable CONFIG_FOO

3. CONFIG_FOO turns out to be unnecessary.
Run "make menuconfig" again to disable CONFIG_FOO

4. Run "make"

In this case, include/config/foo.h should not be touched since there
is no change in CONFIG_FOO. The sync process should be delayed until
the user really attempts to build the kernel.

This commit has another motivation; I want to suppress the 'No such
file or directory' warning from the 'include' directive.

The top-level Makefile includes auto.conf with '-include' directive,
like this:

ifeq ($(dot-config),1)
-include include/config/auto.conf
endif

This looks strange because auto.conf is mandatory when dot-config is 1.
I guess only the reason of using '-include' is to suppress the warning
'include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory' when building
from a clean tree. However, this has a side-effect; Make considers
the files included by '-include' are optional. Hence, Make continues
to build even if it fails to generate include/config/auto.conf. I will
change this in the next commit, but the warning message is annoying.
(At least, kbuild test robot reports it as a regression.)

With this commit, Kconfig will generate all configuration files together
with the .config and I guess it is a solution good enough to suppress
the warning.

Note:
GNU Make 4.2 or later does not display the warning from the 'include'
directive if include files are successfully generated. See GNU Make
commit 87a5f98d248f ("[SV 102] Don't show unnecessary include file
errors.") However, older GNU Make versions are still widely used.

kconfig: make syncconfig update .config regardless of sym_change_count

syncconfig updates the .config only when sym_change_count > 0, i.e.
any change in config symbols has been detected.

Not only symbols but also comments are contained in the .config file.
If only comments are updated, they are not fed back to the .config,
then the stale comments are left-over. Of course, this is just a
matter of comments, but why not fix it.

I see some scenarios where this happens.

Scenario A:

1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.

2. Linus increments the version number in the top-level Makefile
(i.e. he commits a new release)

3. You pull it, and run 'make'

4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
KERNELVERSION is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.

5. The .config file contains a kernel version in the top line:

# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Linux/arm64 4.18.0-rc2 Kernel Configuration

... which points to a previous version.

Scenario B:

1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.

2. You upgrade the compiler, but it still has the same version number.
This may happen if you regularly build the latest compiler from
the source code.

3. You run 'make'

4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
CC_VERSION_TEXT is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.

5. The .config file contains the version string of the compiler:

#
# Compiler: aarch64-linux-gcc (GCC) 9.0.0 20180628 (experimental)
#

... which carries the information of the old compiler.

If KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is set, syncconfig is not allowed to update
the .config file. Otherwise, it is fine to update it regardless of
sym_change_count.

kconfig: extend output of 'listnewconfig'

We at Red Hat/Fedora have generally tried to have a per file breakdown of
every config option we set. This makes it easy for us to add new options
when they are exposed and keep a changelog of why they were set.

A Fedora example is here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/kernel.git/tree/configs/fedora/generic

Using various merge scripts, we build up a config file and run it through
'make listnewconfig' and 'make oldnoconfig'. The idea is to print out new
config options that haven't been manually set and use the default until
a patch is posted to set it properly.

To speed things up, it would be nice to make it easier to generate a
patch to post the default setting. The output of 'make listnewconfig'
has two issues that limit us:

- it doesn't provide the default value
- it doesn't provide the new 'choice' options that get flagged in
'oldconfig'

This patch extends 'listnewconfig' to address the above two issues.

This allows us to run a script

make listnewconfig | rhconfig-tool -o patches; git send-email patches/

The output of 'make listnewconfig':

CONFIG_NET_EMATCH_IPT
CONFIG_IPVLAN
CONFIG_ICE
CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_NI
CONFIG_IEEE802154_MCR20A
CONFIG_IR_IMON_DECODER

kconfig: hide irrelevant sub-menus for oldconfig

Historically, "make oldconfig" has changed its behavior several times,
quieter or louder. (I attached the history below.) Currently, it is
not as quiet as it should be. This commit addresses it.

Test Case
---------

---------------------------(Kconfig)----------------------------
menu "menu"

config FOO
bool "foo"

menu "sub menu"

config BAR
bool "bar"

endmenu

endmenu

menu "sibling menu"

config BAZ
bool "baz"

endmenu
----------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------(.config)----------------------------
CONFIG_BAR=y
CONFIG_BAZ=y
----------------------------------------------------------------

With the Kconfig and .config above, "make silentoldconfig" and
"make oldconfig" work differently, like follows:

$ make silentoldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* menu
*
foo (FOO) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
#
# configuration written to .config
#

$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* menu
*
foo (FOO) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
*
* sub menu
*
bar (BAR) [Y/n/?] y
#
# configuration written to .config
#

Both hide "sibling node" since it is irrelevant. The difference is
that silentoldconfig hides "sub menu" whereas oldconfig does not.
The behavior of silentoldconfig is preferred since the "sub menu"
does not contain any new symbol.

The root cause is in conf(). There are three input modes that can
call conf(); oldaskconfig, oldconfig, and silentoldconfig.

Everytime conf() encounters a menu entry, it calls check_conf() to
check if it contains new symbols. If no new symbol is found, the
menu is just skipped.

Currently, this happens only when input_mode == silentoldconfig.
The oldaskconfig enters into the check_conf() loop as silentoldconfig,
so oldaskconfig works likewise for the second loop or later, but it
never happens for oldconfig. So, irrelevant sub-menus are shown for
oldconfig.

Change the test condition to "input_mode != oldaskconfig". This is
false only for the first loop of oldaskconfig; it must ask the user
all symbols, so no need to call check_conf().

History of oldconfig
--------------------

[0] Originally, "make oldconfig" was as loud as "make config" (It
showed the entire .config file)

[1] Commit cd9140e1e73a ("kconfig: make oldconfig is now less chatty")
made oldconfig quieter, but it was still less quieter than
silentoldconfig. (oldconfig did not hide sub-menus)

[2] Commit 204c96f60904 ("kconfig: fix silentoldconfig") changed
the input_mode of oldconfig to "ask_silent" from "ask_new".
So, oldconfig really became as quiet as silentoldconfig.
(oldconfig hided irrelevant sub-menus)

[3] Commit 4062f1a4c030 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") made
oldconfig as loud as [0] due to misconversion.

[4] Commit 14828349719a ("kconfig: fix make oldconfig") addressed
the misconversion of [3], but it made oldconfig quieter only to
the same level as [1], not [2].

kconfig: remove redundant input_mode test for check_conf() loop

check_conf() never increments conf_cnt for listnewconfig, so conf_cnt
is always zero.

In other words, conf_cnt is not zero, "input_mode != listnewconfig"
is met.

kconfig: do not call check_conf() for olddefconfig

check_conf() traverses the menu tree, but it is completely no-op for
olddefconfig because the following if-else block does nothing.

if (input_mode == listnewconfig) {
...
} else if (input_mode != olddefconfig) {
...
}

As the help message says, olddefconfig automatically sets new symbols
to their default value. There is no room for manual intervention.
So, calling check_conf() for olddefconfig is odd in the first place.

kconfig: echo stdin to stdout if either is redirected

If stdio is not tty, conf_askvalue() puts additional new line to
prevent prompts from being concatenated into a single line. This
care is missing in conf_choice(), so a 'choice' prompt and the next
prompt are shown in the same line.

Move the code into xfgets() to cater to all cases. To improve this
more, let's echo stdin to stdout. This clarifies what keys were
input from stdio and the stdout looks like as if it were from tty.

I removed the isatty(2) check since stderr is unrelated here.

kconfig: remove check_stdin()

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 under include/. 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

kconfig: loop as long as we changed some symbols in randconfig

Because of choice-in-a-choice constructs, it can happen that not all
symbols are assigned a value during randconfig, leading in rare cases
to this situation:

---8<--- choice-in-choice.in
choice
bool "A/B/C"
config A
bool "A"

config B
bool "B"
if B
choice
bool "E/F"
config E
bool "E"
config F
bool "F"
endchoice
endif # B

config C
bool "C"
endchoice
---8<---

$ ./scripts/kconfig/conf --randconfig choice-in-choice.in
[--SNIP--]
$ ./scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig choice-in-choice.in </dev/null
[--SNIP--]
A/B/C
1. A (A)
> 2. B (B)
3. C (C)
choice[1-3]: 2
E/F
> 1. E (E) (NEW)
2. F (F) (NEW)
choice[1-2]: aborted!

Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update
configuration.

Fix this by looping in randconfig for as long as some symbol gets assigned
a value.

Note: this was spotted with the USB EHCI Debug Device Gadget (USB_G_DBGP),
which uses this choice-in-a-choice construct, and exhibits this problem.
The example above is just a stripped-down minimalist test-case.

Common sense suggests attempting to read the extra config files does

Commit 40aee729b350 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input')
fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a
choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop.

However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because
when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length
and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this
happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable
today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.

kconfig: add savedefconfig

savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file
named "defconfig".

The config symbols are saved in the same order as
they appear in the menu structure so it should
be possible to map them to the relevant menus
if desired.

The implementation was tested against several minimal
configs for arm which was created using brute-force.

There was one regression related to default numbers
which had their valid range further limited by another symbol.

Sample:

config FOO
int "foo"
default 4

config BAR
int "bar"
range 0 FOO

If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3.
But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4.

This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK,
and the fix was non-trivial.
So it was documented in the code and left as is.

This patch has been around for a long time in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux kernels and it may be useful for others. The nonint_oldconfig target
will fail and print the unset config options while loose_nonint_oldconfig will

kconfig: improve seed in randconfig

'make randconfig' uses glibc's rand function, and the seed of
that PRNG is set via:

srand(time(NULL));

But 'time()' only increases once every second - freezing the
randconfig result within a single second.

My Nehalem testbox does randconfig much faster than 1 second
and i have a few scripts that do 'randconfig until condition X'
loops.

Those scripts currently waste a lot of CPU time due to randconfig
changing its seed only once per second currently.

Change the seed to be micrseconds based. (I checked the statistical
spread of the seed - the now.tv_sec*now.tv_usec multiplication
there further improves it.)

kconfig: make oldconfig is now less chatty

Previously when running "make oldconfig" we saw all the propmt lines
from kconfig and noone actully read this.

With this patch the user will only see output if there is new symbols.
This will be seen as "make oldconfig" runs which does not generate any output.

A typical run now looks like this:

$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
$

If a new symbol is found then we restart the config process like this:
$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* General setup
*
Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?] y
Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) []
...

The bahaviour is similar to what we know when running the implicit
oldconfig target "make silentoldconfig".
"make silentoldconfig" are run as part of the kernel build process
if the configuration has changed.

kconfig: use getopt() in conf.c for handling command line arguments

Switch from doing our own parsing of command line arguments to
using getopt(3) to do it. Aside from simplifying things, this allows us to
specify multiple arguments; the old code could only accept two arguments
(input_mode and kconfig name).

Note some subtle changes:
- The argument '-?' is no longer supported.
- '-h' is not treated as an error, so output goes to stdout, and we
exit with '0'.
- There is no compatibility checking amongst arguments; the last option
will simply override earlier options. For example, 'conf -n -y foo'
is perfectly valid now (input_mode will be set_yes). Previously, that
would have been an error ("can't find file -y").

x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.config

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.

For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

The patch reverts these commits:
- 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set

- 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
set 64BIT with all*config targets")

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.

With this patch we have following behaviour:

# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit

The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.

So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.

This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.

make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.

[PATCH] kconfig: new function "bool conf_get_changed(void)"

Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree. Look at the floppy disk
icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active
state.

Mouse click on it: .config is being saved.

This patch series changes things so taht
after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out.
If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens.

If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state",
that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written.

This patch:

Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state.
All read only accesses of
sym_change_count
are replaced by calls to
conf_get_changed()
.
mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when
conf_get_changed() returned true.

kconfig: fix .config dependencies

This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used
to check and regenerate the .config file. This was done via an indirect
dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make
not to reread the changed .config file.

Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from
.config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies. It's also
the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus
replaces include/linux/autoconf.h).

This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file
and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e. silentoldconfig only
writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig
files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

[PATCH] Kconfig i18n support

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.

No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.

Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:

LANG= make menuconfig

is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.

Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:

http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes

To start the translation process:

make update-po-config

This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.

To test your translation, as root issue this command:

msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po

Replace "es" with your language code.

Then execute, for instance:

make menuconfig

The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.

Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.

I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.
