menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have prompts

2010-04-14T13:34:19Z

Usage: Press to show all config symbols which have prompts. Quote Tim Bird: | I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often | use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost | always go through a sequence of searching for the | function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's | completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. | | Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be | unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm | not a Kconfig guru... I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press to see if there is any config hidden. I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options", but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be changed by users. Exmaple: --- Tracers -*- Kernel Function Tracer - - Kernel Function Graph Tracer [*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer - - Preemption-off Latency Tracer [*] Sysprof Tracer Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find out how to make them selectable.

kconfig: new configuration interface (nconfig)

2010-02-02T13:33:55Z

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg). Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel, form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is currently distributed with the kernel. Signed-off-by: Nir Tzachar Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

Futhermore, gconfig interface lack the "search a symbol" function, do later. Signed-off-by: Cheng Renquan Cc: Roman Zippel [sam: fix SEGV in gconfig] Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: add menu_get_ext_help function to display more information

2009-09-20T10:27:41Z

The three functions are moved from mconf.c, then they can be shared in all menuconfig & gconfig & xconfig & config. +void menu_get_ext_help(struct menu *menu, struct gstr *help) +static void get_prompt_str(struct gstr *r, struct property *prop) +void get_symbol_str(struct gstr *r, struct symbol *sym) Signed-off-by: Cheng Renquan Cc: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: add named choice group

2008-04-28T21:05:48Z

As choice dependency are now fully checked, it's quite easy to add support for named choices. This lifts the restriction that a choice value can only appear once, although it still has to be within the same group, but multiple choices can be joined by giving them a name. While at it I cleaned up a little the choice type logic to simplify it a bit. Signed-off-by: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: ignore select of unknown symbol

2008-02-03T07:58:07Z

We have had warnings for a long time about select of unknow symbol but the warnings does not really makes sense since we may select a symbol that is relevant and defined in one arch but not in another arch. And as long as we do not use a common set of Kconfig files for all archs lets just ignore this case. Previously we have used this to find bad uses of select but we need a more relaible method to do so. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Roman Zippel

kconfig: tristate choices with mixed tristate and boolean values

2008-01-28T22:21:18Z

Change kconfig behavior so that mixing bool and tristate config settings in a choice is possible and has the desired effect of offering just the tristate options individually if the choice gets set to M, and a normal boolean selection if the choice gets set to Y. Also fix scripts/kconfig/conf's handling of children of choice values - there may be more than one immediate child, and all of them need to be processed.

kconfig: environment symbol support

2008-01-28T22:14:39Z

Add the possibility to import a value from the environment into kconfig via the option syntax. Beside flexibility this has the advantage providing proper dependencies. Documented the options syntax. Signed-off-by: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
