I want to compile each C file independently instead of including all
of them from zconf.y.

Split out confdata.c, expr.c, symbol.c, and preprocess.c .
These are low-hanging fruits.

All files in lxdialog/ are licensed under GPL-2.0+, and the rest are
under GPL-2.0. I added GPL-2.0 tags to test scripts in tests/.

Documentation/process/license-rules.rst does not suggest anything
about the flex/bison files. Because flex does not accept the C++
comment style at the very top of a file, I used the C style for
zconf.l, and so for zconf.y for consistency.

The only possibility of k_invalid being returned was when
expr_parse_sting() parsed S_OTHER type symbol. This actually never
happened, and this is even clearer since S_OTHER has gone.

Clean up unreachable code.

<title>kconfig: make unmet dependency warnings readable</title>

Currently, the unmet dependency warnings end up with endlessly long
expressions, most of which are false positives.

Here is test code to demonstrate how it currently works.

[Test Case]

  config DEP1
          def_bool y

  config DEP2
          bool "DEP2"

  config A
          bool "A"
          select E

  config B
          bool "B"
          depends on DEP2
          select E

  config C
          bool "C"
          depends on DEP1 &amp;&amp; DEP2
          select E

  config D
          def_bool n
          select E

  config E
          bool
          depends on DEP1 &amp;&amp; DEP2

[Result]

  $ make config
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --oldaskconfig Kconfig
  *
  * Linux Kernel Configuration
  *
  DEP2 (DEP2) [N/y/?] (NEW) n
  A (A) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
  warning: (A &amp;&amp; B &amp;&amp; D) selects E which has unmet direct
  dependencies (DEP1 &amp;&amp; DEP2)

Here, I see some points to be improved.

First, '(A || B || D)' would make more sense than '(A &amp;&amp; B &amp;&amp; D)'.
I am not sure if this is intentional, but expr_simplify_unmet_dep()
turns OR expressions into AND, like follows:

        case E_OR:
                return expr_alloc_and(

Second, we see false positives.  'A' is a real unmet dependency.
'B' is false positive because 'DEP1' is fixed to 'y', and 'B' depends
on 'DEP2'.  'C' was correctly dropped by expr_simplify_unmet_dep().
'D' is also false positive because it has no chance to be enabled.
Current expr_simplify_unmet_dep() cannot avoid those false positives.

After all, I decided to use the same helpers as used for printing
reverse dependencies in the help.

With this commit, unreadable warnings (most of the reported symbols are
false positives) in the real world:

<title>kconfig: Print reverse dependencies in groups</title>
<updated>2018-03-25T17:03:58+00:00</updated>

<id>d9119b5925a03b9a3191fa3e93b4091651d8ad25</id>
<content type='text'>
Surprisingly or not, disabling a CONFIG option (which is assumed to
be unneeded) may be not so trivial. Especially it is not trivial, when
this CONFIG option is selected by a dozen of other configs. Before the
moment commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and
"Implied by:" readable") popped up in v4.16-rc1, it was an absolute pain
to break down the "Selected by" reverse dependency expression in order
to identify all those configs which select (IOW *do not allow
disabling*) a certain feature (assumed to be not needed).

This patch tries to make one step further by putting at users'
fingertips the revdep top level OR sub-expressions grouped/clustered by
the tristate value they evaluate to. This should allow the users to
directly concentrate on and tackle the _active_ reverse dependencies.

To give some numbers and quantify the complexity of certain reverse
dependencies, assuming commit 617aebe6a97e ("Merge tag
'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64
and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with
the highest amount of top level "||" sub-expressions/tokens that make
up the final "Selected by" reverse dependency expression.

| Config            | All revdep | Active revdep |
|-------------------|------------|---------------|
| REGMAP_I2C        | 212        | 9             |
| CRC32             | 167        | 25            |
| FW_LOADER         | 128        | 5             |
| MFD_CORE          | 124        | 9             |
| FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT  | 114        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_COPYAREA   | 111        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_FILLRECT   | 110        | 2             |
| SND_PCM           | 103        | 2             |
| CRYPTO_HASH       | 87         | 19            |
| WATCHDOG_CORE     | 86         | 6             |

The story behind the above is that users need to visually
review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C
in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C,
for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.

To make this experience smoother, change the way reverse dependencies
are displayed to the user from [1] to [2].

Surprisingly or not, disabling a CONFIG option (which is assumed to
be unneeded) may be not so trivial. Especially it is not trivial, when
this CONFIG option is selected by a dozen of other configs. Before the
moment commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and
"Implied by:" readable") popped up in v4.16-rc1, it was an absolute pain
to break down the "Selected by" reverse dependency expression in order
to identify all those configs which select (IOW *do not allow
disabling*) a certain feature (assumed to be not needed).

This patch tries to make one step further by putting at users'
fingertips the revdep top level OR sub-expressions grouped/clustered by
the tristate value they evaluate to. This should allow the users to
directly concentrate on and tackle the _active_ reverse dependencies.

To give some numbers and quantify the complexity of certain reverse
dependencies, assuming commit 617aebe6a97e ("Merge tag
'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64
and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with
the highest amount of top level "||" sub-expressions/tokens that make
up the final "Selected by" reverse dependency expression.

| Config            | All revdep | Active revdep |
|-------------------|------------|---------------|
| REGMAP_I2C        | 212        | 9             |
| CRC32             | 167        | 25            |
| FW_LOADER         | 128        | 5             |
| MFD_CORE          | 124        | 9             |
| FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT  | 114        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_COPYAREA   | 111        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_FILLRECT   | 110        | 2             |
| SND_PCM           | 103        | 2             |
| CRYPTO_HASH       | 87         | 19            |
| WATCHDOG_CORE     | 86         | 6             |

The story behind the above is that users need to visually
review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C
in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C,
for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.

To make this experience smoother, change the way reverse dependencies
are displayed to the user from [1] to [2].

<title>kconfig: clean-up reverse dependency help implementation</title>

This commit splits out the special E_OR handling ('-' instead of '||')
into a dedicated helper expr_print_revdev().

Restore the original expr_print() prior to commit 1ccb27143360
("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable").

This makes sense because:

  - We need to chop those expressions only when printing the reverse
    dependency, and only when E_OR is encountered

  - Otherwise, it should be printed as before, so fall back to
    expr_print()

This also improves the behavior; for a single line, it was previously
displayed in the same line as "Selected by", like this:

  Selected by: A [=n] &amp;&amp; B [=n]

This will be displayed in a new line, consistently:

  Selected by:
  - A [=n] &amp;&amp; B [=n]

Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates.

  I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from
  real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for
  building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for
  a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next,
  and I did not receive any problem report about this.

  Summary:

   - add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice,
     help is doubled

   - document data structure and complex code

   - fix various memory leaks

   - change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
     pre-generated C files

   - drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'

   - use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables

   - fix gettext() check for xconfig

   - announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed

   - make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search
     result

   - hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people

   - fix misc things and cleanups"

Reverse dependency expressions can get rather unwieldy, especially if
a symbol is selected by more than a handful of other symbols. I.e. it's
possible to have near endless expressions like:
   A &amp;&amp; B &amp;&amp; !C || D || F &amp;&amp; (G || H) || [...]

Chop these expressions into actually readable chunks:
   - A &amp;&amp; B &amp;&amp; !C
   - D
   - F &amp;&amp; (G || H)
   - [...]

I.e. transform the top level OR tokens into newlines and prepend each
line with a minus. This makes the "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" blurb
much easier to read. This is done only if there is more than one top
level OR. "Depends on:" and "Range :" were deliberately left as they are.

Based on idea from Paul Bolle.

Many of these functions are quite the head scratchers if you don't know
what they're trying to do. Document them.

Also make it clear which functions rewrite expressions in-place and
which return new expressions. This prevents memory errors.

No functional changes. Only comments added.
