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.

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.

"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.

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().

When we add a new config symbol save the file/line
so we later can refer to their location.
The information is saved as a property to a config symbol
because we may have multiple definitions of the same symbol.
This has the side-effect that a symbol always has
at least one property.

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.

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.

Now that kconfig can load multiple configurations, it becomes simple to
integrate the split config step, by simply comparing the new .config file with
the old auto.conf (and then saving the new auto.conf). A nice side effect is
that this saves a bit of disk space and cache, as no data needs to be read
from or saved into the splitted config files anymore (e.g. include/config is
now 648KB instead of 5.2MB).

When doing its recursive dependency check, scripts/kconfig/conf uses the flag
SYMBOL_CHECK_DONE to avoid rechecking a symbol it has already checked.
However, that flag is only set at the top level, so if a symbol is first
encountered as a dependency of another symbol it will be rechecked every time
it is encountered until it's encountered at the top level.
This patch adjusts the flag setting so that each symbol will only be checked
once, regardless of whether it is first encountered at the top level, or while
recursing down from another symbol. On complex configurations, this vastly
speeds up scripts/kconfig/conf. The config in the powerpc merge tree is
particularly bad: this patch reduces the time for 'scripts/kconfig/conf -o
arch/powerpc/Kconfig' by a factor of 40 on a G5. That's even including the
time to print the config, so the speedup in the actual checking is more likely
2 or 3 orders of magnitude.

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early

infrastructure for it.
