Dirk Gouders 032a318719 kconfig-language: elaborate on the type of a choice
The type of a choice can be specified explicitely or it will be
set according to members of the choice group, see menu.c:menu_finalize().

Luis R. Rodriguez 1c199f2878 kbuild: document recursive dependency limitation / resolution
Recursive dependency issues with kconfig are unavoidable due to
some limitations with kconfig, since these issues are recurring
provide a hint to the user how they can resolve these dependency
issues and also document why such limitation exists.

While at it also document a bit of future prospects of ways to
enhance Kconfig, including providing formal semantics and evaluation
of use of a SAT solver. If you're interested in this work or prospects
of it check out the kconfig-sat project wiki [0] and mailing list [1].

David Woodhouse af1eb29132 modsign: Allow password to be specified for signing key
We don't want this in the Kconfig since it might then get exposed in
/proc/config.gz. So make it a parameter to Kbuild instead. This also
means we don't have to jump through hoops to strip quotes from it, as
we would if it was a config option.

Michal Marek 61754c1875 kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flags
Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command
line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main
Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler
option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to
fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and
ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild
variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS
and KCFLAGS variables.

Anish Bhatt ed45d40369 kbuild : Fix documentation of INSTALL_HDR_PATH
The header install makefile creates an 'include' directory inside
INSTALL_HDR_PATH and appending include to the path results in headers
being installed to include/include.

Don't recommend appending include to the path as makefile already does

Josh Triplett 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.

Previously, it was possible to have more than one symbol with the

in fact control tristates.

Since this does not make much sense, only allow at most one symbol to

Note: it is still possible to have more than one symbol that control
tristates, but indirectly:

        bool "mod1"

Yann E. MORIN 193b40aeb5 kconfig: sort found symbols by relevance
When searching for symbols, return the symbols sorted by relevance.

Sorting is done as thus:
  - first, symbols that match exactly
  - then, alphabetical sort

Since the search can be a regexp, it is possible that more than one symbol
matches exactly. In this case, we can't decide which to sort first, so we
fallback to alphabeticall sort.

Explain this (new!) sorting heuristic in the documentation.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
[1] unset or empty          50  : 50            33  : 33  : 34

    $ sha1sum .config

Antony Pavlov 5b83df2b46 kbuild: fix ld-option function
The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because
the command
  $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO"
does not create object file!

I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler
and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact
but the results are the same.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory

We can easily fix the problem by adding
the '-x c' compiler option.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr  2 20:40 /tmp/1.o

Also fix wrong ld-option example.

 "I forgot to send a pull request in time for the v3.8-rc1 merge window,

   - menuconfig enables extended colors in ncurses if the wide-character

   - CONFIG_ prefix can be specified in the environment to make life
     easier for people using kconfig multiple times in a single tree (no
     functional change in the kernel kconfig usage).

   - kconfig aborts on OOM.

   - inputboxes in menuconfig allow to move the cursor.

   - menuconfig has Save/Load buttons now.

   - xconfig build fix with new g++ and Qt3.

   - nconfig color scheme fix and help text update.

   - make oldconfig prints newlines when output is redirected.

   - some other minor fixes."

Stephen Warren 90b335fbbc kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb rule
All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create
a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that
most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather
than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This
difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches.

MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the
new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any
conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle.

Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from
the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

Eric W. Biederman 5efe241eac kconfig: Add error handling to KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
- Only try to read the file specified if KCONFIG_ALL_CONFIG is set to
  something other than the empty string or "1".

- Don't use stat to check the name passed to conf_read_simple so that
  zconf_fopen can find the file in the current directory or in SRCTREE
  removing a extremely source of confusing failure, where KCONFIG_ALL_CONFIG
  was not interpreted with respect to the directory make was called in.

- If conf_read_simple fails complain clearly and stop processing.
  Allowing the simple debugging of typos.

- Clearly document the behavior so it is clear to users which
  values are treated as flags and which values are treated as
  filenames.
