Srinivas Kandagatla 3f198dfee4 kbuild: Fix help text not displayed in choice option.
Help text under choice menu is never displayed because it does not have
symbol name associated with it, however many kconfigs have help text
under choice, assuming that it will be displayed when user selects help.
for example in Kconfig if we have:
choice
        prompt "Choice"
        ---help---
           HELP TEXT ...

config A
        bool "A"

config B
        bool "B"

endchoice

Without this patch "HELP TEXT" is not displayed when user selects help
option when "Choice" is highlighted from menuconfig or xconfig or
gconfig.

This patch changes the logic in menu_get_ext_help to display help for
cases which dont have symbol names like choice.

Arnaud Lacombe ec6452a5ec kconfig: do not overwrite symbol direct dependency in assignment
Considering the following configuration:

config F
    bool "F"

choice AB
    bool "AB"
config A
    bool "A"
config B
    bool "B"
endchoice

if A
config D
    bool
    default y if F
    select E
config E
    bool "E"
endif

if B
config D
    bool
    default y if F
    select E
config E
    bool "E"
endif

The following configuration:

 CONFIG_F=y
 CONFIG_A=y
 # CONFIG_B is not set
 CONFIG_D=y
 CONFIG_E=y

emits a spurious warning:

(D) selects E which has unmet direct dependencies (B)

If a symbol appears in two different branch of the tree, it should inherit the
dependency of both parent, not just the last one.

Jan Beulich 7ad1227818 kconfig: fix undesirable side effect of adding "visible" menu attribute
This lead to non-selected, non-user-selectable options to be written
out to .config. This is not only pointless, but also preventing the
user to be prompted should any of those options eventually become
visible (e.g. by de-selecting the *_AUTO options the "visible"
attribute was added for.

Furthermore it is quite logical for the "visible" attribute of a menu
to control the visibility of all contained prompts, which is what the
patch does.

When we add a new config symbol save the file/line

The information is saved as a property to a config symbol
because we may have multiple definitions of the same symbol.

at least one property.

Catalin Marinas 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.

Li Zefan 3fb9acb329 kconfig: fix to tag NEW symbols correctly
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.

Li Zefan 22c7eca61e menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have prompts
Usage:
  Press <Z> 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 <Z> 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.

While at it I cleaned up a little the choice type logic to simplify it a

Previously we have used this to find bad uses of

Linus Torvalds e8b8c97773 Revert "kconfig: tristate choices with mixed tristate and boolean values"
This reverts commit a5bf3d891a.

David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the
drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file:

  "That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's
   worked that way for several years now ...  so the issue seems to be
   changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics.

   The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to
   configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ...  the
   controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage.

   It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which
   could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked
   either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically."

Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second
problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.

Replace all menu_add_prop mimicking menu_add_prompt with the latter func. I've
had to add a return value to menu_add_prompt for one usage.

I've rebuilt scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped by hand to reflect changes
in the source (I've not the same Bison version so regenerating it wouldn't
have been not a good idea), and compared it with what Roman itself did some
time ago, and it's the same.

So I guess this can be finally merged.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 3b9fa0931d [PATCH] Kconfig i18n support
This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.

No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.

Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:

LANG= make menuconfig

is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.

Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:

http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes

To start the translation process:

  make update-po-config

  This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
  copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.

To test your translation, as root issue this command:

  msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po

  Replace "es" with your language code.

  Then execute, for instance:

  make menuconfig

The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.

Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.

I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
