You do not need to remember the index of each jump key because you can
count it up after a key is pressed.

b75b0a819a kconfig: change defconfig_list option to environment variable
"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.

This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.

It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.

3460d0bc25 kconfig: distinguish between dependencies and visibility in help text
Kconfig makes a distinction between dependencies (defined by "depends
on" expressions and enclosing "if" blocks) and visibility (which
includes all dependencies, but also includes inline "if" expressions of
individual properties as well as, for prompts, "visible if" expressions
of enclosing menus).

Before commit bcdedcc1af ("menuconfig: print more info for symbol
without prompts"), the "Depends on" lines of a symbol's help text
indicated the visibility of the prompt property they appeared under.
After bcdedcc1af, there was always only a single "Depends on" line,
which indicated the visibility of the first P_SYMBOL property of the
symbol. Since P_SYMBOLs never have inline if expressions, this was in
effect the same as the dependencies of the menu item that the P_SYMBOL
was attached to.

Neither of these situations accurately conveyed the dependencies of a
symbol--the first because it was actually the visibility, and the second
because it only showed the dependencies from a single definition.

With this series, we are back to printing separate dependencies for each
definition, but we print the actual dependencies (rather than the
visibility) in the "Depends on" line. However, it can still be useful to
know the visibility of a prompt, so this patch adds a "Visible if" line
that shows the visibility only if the visibility is different from the
dependencies (which it isn't for most prompts in Linux).

Before:

  Symbol: THUMB2_KERNEL [=n]
  Type  : bool
  Defined at arch/arm/Kconfig:1417
    Prompt: Compile the kernel in Thumb-2 mode
    Depends on: (CPU_V7 [=y] || CPU_V7M [=n]) && !CPU_V6 [=n] && !CPU_V6K [=n]
    Location:
      -> Kernel Features
    Selects: ARM_UNWIND [=n]

After:

   Symbol: THUMB2_KERNEL [=n]
   Type  : bool
   Defined at arch/arm/Kconfig:1417
     Prompt: Compile the kernel in Thumb-2 mode
     Depends on: (CPU_V7 [=y] || CPU_V7M [=n]) && !CPU_V6 [=n] && !CPU_V6K [=n]

8e2442a5f8 kconfig: fix missing choice values in auto.conf
Since commit 00c864f890 ("kconfig: allow all config targets to write
auto.conf if missing"), Kconfig creates include/config/auto.conf in the
defconfig stage when it is missing.

Joonas Kylmälä reported incorrect auto.conf generation under some
circumstances.

To reproduce it, apply the following diff:

|  --- a/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  +++ b/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  @@ -345,14 +345,7 @@ CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MIDI=y

|  +CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y
|   CONFIG_MMC=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM=y

And then, run:

$ make ARCH=arm mrproper imx_v6_v7_defconfig

You will see CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y is correctly contained in the
.config, but not in the auto.conf.

Please note drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is included from a choice
block in drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig. So USB_FUNCTIONFS is a choice value.

This is probably a similar situation described in commit beaaddb625
("kconfig: tests: test defconfig when two choices interact").

When sym_calc_choice() is called, the choice symbol forgets the
SYMBOL_DEF_USER unless all of its choice values are explicitly set by
the user.

The choice symbol is given just one chance to recall it because
set_all_choice_values() is called if SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES
is set.

When sym_calc_choice() is called again, the choice symbol forgets it
forever, since SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES is a one-time aid.
Hence, we cannot call sym_clear_all_valid() again and again.

It is crazy to repeat set and unset of internal flags. However, we
cannot simply get rid of "sym->flags &= flags | ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;"
Doing so would re-introduce the problem solved by commit 5d09598d48
("kconfig: fix new choices being skipped upon config update").

To work around the issue, conf_write_autoconf() stopped calling
sym_clear_all_valid().

conf_write() must be changed accordingly. Currently, it clears
SYMBOL_WRITE after the symbol is written into the .config file. This
is needed to prevent it from writing the same symbol multiple times in
case the symbol is declared in two or more locations. I added the new
flag SYMBOL_WRITTEN, to track the symbols that have been written.

Anyway, this is a cheesy workaround in order to suppress the issue
as far as defconfig is concerned.

Handling of choices is totally broken. sym_clear_all_valid() is called
every time a user touches a symbol from the GUI interface. To reproduce
it, just add a new symbol drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig, then touch
around unrelated symbols from menuconfig. USB_FUNCTIONFS will disappear
from the .config file.

I added the Fixes tag since it is more fatal than before. But, this
has been broken since long long time before, and still it is.
We should take a closer look to fix this correctly somehow.

2aabbed677 kconfig: remove S_OTHER symbol type and correct dependency tracking
The S_OTHER type could be set only when conf_read_simple() is reading
include/config/auto.conf file.

For example, CONFIG_FOO=y exists in include/config/auto.conf but it is
missing from the currently parsed Kconfig files, sym_lookup() allocates
a new symbol, and sets its type to S_OTHER.

Strangely, it will be set to S_STRING by conf_set_sym_val() a few lines
below while it is obviously bool or tristate type. On the other hand,
when CONFIG_BAR="bar" is being dropped from include/config/auto.conf,
its type remains S_OTHER. Because for_all_symbols() omits S_OTHER
symbols, conf_touch_deps() misses to touch include/config/bar.h

This behavior has been a pretty mystery for me, and digging the git
histroy did not help. At least, touching depfiles is broken for string
type symbols.

I removed S_OTHER entirely, and reimplemented it more simply.

If CONFIG_FOO was visible in the previous syncconfig, but is missing
now, what we want to do is quite simple; just call conf_touch_dep()
to touch include/config/foo.h instead of allocating a new symbol data.

Over time, the use of the flag SYMBOL_AUTO changed from initially
marking three automatically generated symbols ARCH, KERNELRELEASE and
UNAME_RELEASE to today's effect of protecting symbols from being

Currently, only symbols of type CHOICE and those with option
defconf_list set have that flag set.

Reflect that change in semantics in the flag's name.

f8f69dc0b4 kconfig: make unmet dependency warnings readable
Currently, the unmet dependency warnings end up with endlessly long
expressions, most of which are false positives.

Here is test code to demonstrate how it currently works.

[Test Case]

  config DEP1
          def_bool y

  config DEP2
          bool "DEP2"

  config A
          bool "A"
          select E

  config B
          bool "B"
          depends on DEP2
          select E

  config C
          bool "C"
          depends on DEP1 && DEP2
          select E

  config D
          def_bool n
          select E

  config E
          bool
          depends on DEP1 && DEP2

[Result]

  $ make config
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --oldaskconfig Kconfig
  *
  * Linux Kernel Configuration
  *
  DEP2 (DEP2) [N/y/?] (NEW) n
  A (A) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
  warning: (A && B && D) selects E which has unmet direct
  dependencies (DEP1 && DEP2)

Here, I see some points to be improved.

First, '(A || B || D)' would make more sense than '(A && B && D)'.
I am not sure if this is intentional, but expr_simplify_unmet_dep()
turns OR expressions into AND, like follows:

        case E_OR:
                return expr_alloc_and(

Second, we see false positives.  'A' is a real unmet dependency.
'B' is false positive because 'DEP1' is fixed to 'y', and 'B' depends
on 'DEP2'.  'C' was correctly dropped by expr_simplify_unmet_dep().
'D' is also false positive because it has no chance to be enabled.
Current expr_simplify_unmet_dep() cannot avoid those false positives.

After all, I decided to use the same helpers as used for printing
reverse dependencies in the help.

With this commit, unreadable warnings (most of the reported symbols are
false positives) in the real world:

d9119b5925 kconfig: Print reverse dependencies in groups
Surprisingly or not, disabling a CONFIG option (which is assumed to
be unneeded) may be not so trivial. Especially it is not trivial, when
this CONFIG option is selected by a dozen of other configs. Before the
moment commit 1ccb271433 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and
"Implied by:" readable") popped up in v4.16-rc1, it was an absolute pain
to break down the "Selected by" reverse dependency expression in order
to identify all those configs which select (IOW *do not allow
disabling*) a certain feature (assumed to be not needed).

This patch tries to make one step further by putting at users'
fingertips the revdep top level OR sub-expressions grouped/clustered by
the tristate value they evaluate to. This should allow the users to
directly concentrate on and tackle the _active_ reverse dependencies.

To give some numbers and quantify the complexity of certain reverse
dependencies, assuming commit 617aebe6a9 ("Merge tag
'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64
and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with
the highest amount of top level "||" sub-expressions/tokens that make
up the final "Selected by" reverse dependency expression.

| Config            | All revdep | Active revdep |
|-------------------|------------|---------------|
| REGMAP_I2C        | 212        | 9             |
| CRC32             | 167        | 25            |
| FW_LOADER         | 128        | 5             |
| MFD_CORE          | 124        | 9             |
| FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT  | 114        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_COPYAREA   | 111        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_FILLRECT   | 110        | 2             |
| SND_PCM           | 103        | 2             |
| CRYPTO_HASH       | 87         | 19            |
| WATCHDOG_CORE     | 86         | 6             |

The story behind the above is that users need to visually
review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C
in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C,
for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.

To make this experience smoother, change the way reverse dependencies
are displayed to the user from [1] to [2].

1ccb271433 kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable
Reverse dependency expressions can get rather unwieldy, especially if
a symbol is selected by more than a handful of other symbols. I.e. it's
possible to have near endless expressions like:
   A && B && !C || D || F && (G || H) || [...]

Chop these expressions into actually readable chunks:
   - A && B && !C
   - D
   - F && (G || H)
   - [...]

I.e. transform the top level OR tokens into newlines and prepend each
line with a minus. This makes the "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" blurb
much easier to read. This is done only if there is more than one top
level OR. "Depends on:" and "Range :" were deliberately left as they are.

Based on idea from Paul Bolle.

237e3ad0f1 Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keyword
The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target
config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come
with the "select" keyword.

This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their
ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to
configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers.

Currently, the same effect can almost be achieved with:

config DRIVER_A
	tristate

config DRIVER_B
	tristate

config DRIVER_C
	tristate

config DRIVER_D
	tristate

[...]

config SUBSYSTEM_X
	tristate
	default DRIVER_A || DRIVER_B || DRIVER_C || DRIVER_D || [...]

This is unwieldy to maintain especially with a large number of drivers.
Furthermore, there is no easy way to restrict the choice for SUBSYSTEM_X
to y or n, excluding m, when some drivers are built-in. The "select"
keyword allows for excluding m, but it excludes n as well. Hence
this "imply" keyword.  The above becomes:

config DRIVER_A
	tristate
	imply SUBSYSTEM_X

config DRIVER_B
	tristate
	imply SUBSYSTEM_X

[...]

config SUBSYSTEM_X
	tristate

This is much cleaner, and way more flexible than "select". SUBSYSTEM_X
can still be configured out, and it can be set as a module when none of
the drivers are configured in or all of them are modular.

31847b67be kconfig: allow use of relations other than (in)equality
Over the years I found it desirable to be able to use all sorts of
relations, not just (in)equality. And apparently I'm not the only one,
as there's at least one example in the tree where the programmer
assumed this would work (see DEBUG_UART_8250_WORD in
arch/arm/Kconfig.debug). Another possible use would e.g. be to fold the
two SMP/NR_CPUS prompts into one: SMP could be promptless, simply
depending on NR_CPUS > 1.

A (desirable) side effect of this change - resulting from numeric
values now necessarily being compared as numbers rather than as
strings - is that comparing hex values now works as expected: Other
than int ones (which aren't allowed to have leading zeroes), zeroes
following the 0x prefix made them compare unequal even if their values
were equal.

5d2acfc7b9 kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT
"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

        default CRC32_SLICEBY8

config CRC32_SLICEBY8
        bool "Slice by 8 bytes"

endchoice
---8<---

$ scripts/kconfig/conf --defconfig=defconfig.choice Kconfig.choice

would result in:

CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=m
CONFIG_USB_LIBCOMPOSITE=m
CONFIG_USB_ZERO=m
CONFIG_CRC32=y
CONFIG_CRC32_SLICEBY8=y

37ae2d5998 kbuild: Fix compiler warning with assertion when calling 'fwrite'
Reinhard Tartler discovered a corner case of calling xfwrite() where the
length of the string is zero.

Arnaud Lacombe suggested to use assertion for the corner case, as
fwrite(3) is currently used:

 1) in comment printers. Empty comment are not allowed.
 2) in a callback passed to expr_print(), where the string printed is
    either NULL OR non-empty.
 3) in the lexer, auto-generated, and unused.

I feel using assertion is a good solution:

 1) It cleanly takes care of the above-mentioned corner case.
 2) It can be easily disabled by defining NDEBUG.
 3) It asserts xfwrite() is simply a wrapper for fwrite().

246cf9c26b kbuild: Warn on selecting symbols with unmet direct dependencies
The "select" statement in Kconfig files allows the enabling of options
even if they have unmet direct dependencies (i.e. "depends on" expands
to "no"). Currently, the "depends on" clauses are used in calculating
the visibility but they do not affect the reverse dependencies in any
way.

The patch introduces additional tracking of the "depends on" statements
and prints a warning on selecting an option if its direct dependencies
are not met.

e66f25d7d1 Improve kconfig symbol hashing
While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.

The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.

When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.

It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.

This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.

Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.

I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.

The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)

1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1		<--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket

There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.

This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.

I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.
