kconfig: delay symbol direct dependency initialization

2010-10-04T13:13:13Z

This fixes the use-after-free and associated crash in kconfig introduced in commit 246cf9c26bf11f2bffbecea6e5bd222eee7b1df8. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Lacombe Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kconfig: save location of config symbols

2010-08-03T11:49:31Z

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.

kbuild: Warn on selecting symbols with unmet direct dependencies

2010-07-02T12:53:09Z

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.

kconfig: fix to tag NEW symbols correctly

2010-06-02T13:10:32Z

Those configs are not new: $ cat .config ... CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y ... CONFIG_BLOCK=y ... But are tagged as NEW: $ yes "" | make config > myconf $ cat myconf | grep '(NEW)' Namespaces support (NAMESPACES) [Y/?] (NEW) y ... Enable the block layer (BLOCK) [Y/?] (NEW) y ... You can also notice this bug when using gconfig/xconfig. It's because the SYMBOL_DEF_USER bit of an invisible symbol is cleared when the config file is read: int conf_read(const char *name) { ... for_all_symbols(i, sym) { if (sym_has_value(sym) && !sym_is_choice_value(sym)) { /* Reset values of generates values, so they'll appear * as new, if they should become visible, but that * doesn't quite work if the Kconfig and the saved * configuration disagree. */ if (sym->visible == no && !conf_unsaved) sym->flags &= ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER; ... } But a menu item which represents an invisible symbol is still visible, if it's sub-menu is visible, so its SYMBOL_DEF_USER bit should be set to indicate it's not NEW.

kconfig: print the range of integer/hex symbol in help text

2010-06-02T13:10:32Z

Without this patch, one has to refer to the Kconfig file to find out the range of an integer/hex symbol. │ Symbol: NR_CPUS [=4] │ Type : integer │ Range : [2 8] │ Prompt: Maximum number of CPUs │ Defined at arch/x86/Kconfig:761 │ Depends on: SMP [=y] && !MAXSMP [=n] │ Location: │ -> Processor type and features Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kconfig: print symbol type in help text

2010-06-02T13:09:12Z

Randy suggested to print out the symbol type in gconfig. Note this change does more than Randy's suggestion, that it also affects menuconfig and "make config". │ Symbol: BLOCK [=y] │ Type : boolean │ Prompt: Enable the block layer │ Defined at block/Kconfig:4 │ Depends on: EMBEDDED [=n] Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

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
