kconfig: handle SIGINT in menuconfig

2011-08-30T00:21:29+00:00

I recently got bitten in the ass when pressing Ctrl-C and lost all my current
configuration changes. This patch captures SIGINT and allows the user to save
any changes.

Some code refactoring was made in order to handle the exit behavior.

menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have prompts

2010-04-14T13:34:19+00:00

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)

2010-02-02T13:33:55+00:00

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.
