kconfig: remove a spurious self-assignment

2018-08-31T16:21:42+00:00

The self assignment was probably introduced by an automated code
refactoring in
commit 694c49a7c01c ("kconfig: drop localization support").

The issue was identified by a self-assign warning when running
make menuconfig with clang.

kconfig: allow all config targets to write auto.conf if missing

2018-07-25T14:25:30+00:00

Currently, only syncconfig creates or updates include/config/auto.conf
and some other files.  Other config targets create or update only the
.config file.

When you configure and build the kernel from a pristine source tree,
any config target is followed by syncconfig in the build stage since
include/config/auto.conf is missing.

We are moving compiler tests from Makefile to Kconfig.  It means that
parsing Kconfig files will be more costly since Kconfig invokes the
compiler commands internally.  Thus, we want to avoid invoking Kconfig
twice (one for *config to create the .config, and one for syncconfig
to synchronize the auto.conf).  If auto.conf does not exist, we can
generate all configuration files in the first configuration stage,
which will save the syncconfig in the build stage.

Please note this should be done only when auto.conf is missing.  If
*config blindly did this, time stamp files under include/config/ would
be unnecessarily touched, triggering unneeded rebuild of objects.

I assume a scenario like this:

 1. You have a source tree that has already been built
    with CONFIG_FOO disabled

 2. Run "make menuconfig" to enable CONFIG_FOO

 3. CONFIG_FOO turns out to be unnecessary.
    Run "make menuconfig" again to disable CONFIG_FOO

 4. Run "make"

In this case, include/config/foo.h should not be touched since there
is no change in CONFIG_FOO.  The sync process should be delayed until
the user really attempts to build the kernel.

This commit has another motivation; I want to suppress the 'No such
file or directory' warning from the 'include' directive.

The top-level Makefile includes auto.conf with '-include' directive,
like this:

  ifeq ($(dot-config),1)
  -include include/config/auto.conf
  endif

This looks strange because auto.conf is mandatory when dot-config is 1.
I guess only the reason of using '-include' is to suppress the warning
'include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory' when building
from a clean tree.  However, this has a side-effect; Make considers
the files included by '-include' are optional.  Hence, Make continues
to build even if it fails to generate include/config/auto.conf.  I will
change this in the next commit, but the warning message is annoying.
(At least, kbuild test robot reports it as a regression.)

With this commit, Kconfig will generate all configuration files together
with the .config and I guess it is a solution good enough to suppress
the warning.

Note:
GNU Make 4.2 or later does not display the warning from the 'include'
directive if include files are successfully generated.  See GNU Make
commit 87a5f98d248f ("[SV 102] Don't show unnecessary include file
errors.")  However, older GNU Make versions are still widely used.

kconfig: handle format string before calling conf_message_callback()

2018-07-25T14:24:35+00:00

As you see in mconf.c and nconf.c, conf_message_callback() hooks are
likely to end up with the boilerplate of vsnprintf().  Process the
string format before calling conf_message_callback() so that it
receives a simple string.

kconfig: drop localization support

2018-05-28T09:25:21+00:00

The localization support is broken and appears unused.
There is no google hits on the update-po-config target.
And there is no recent (5 years) activity related to the localization.

So lets just drop this as it is no longer used.

kconfig: Do not print status messages in make -s mode

2015-04-09T15:44:34+00:00

Add an -s option to the various frontends and pass it when make -s is
used. Also, use $(kecho) instead of @echo in the Makefile.

calloc/xcalloc: Fix argument order

2014-12-09T13:06:29+00:00

The calloc() and xcalloc() functions takes @nmemb first and then @size.  Fix all w/
pattern "calloc\s*(\s*sizeof".

kconfig: fix trivial typos and update mconf documentation

2013-10-08T21:52:14+00:00

This fixes lots of typos in comments and strings.

It also updates the documentation strings in mconf to reflect the changes in
the user interface from the two commits

6364fd0cb1e4c7f72b974613e0cf5744ae4d2cb2
  menuconfig: Add Save/Load buttons
1bdbac478a858d2aa73a6784c7c2e09de0f6d06b
  menuconfig: Get rid of the top-level entries for "Load an Alternate/Save an Alternate"

And it updates the layout of the example search result, i. e. moves down the
"Defined at" and "Depends on" lines and adds a symbol state ([=n]) to the
symbol in the "Selected by" line.

Furthermore, the help texts now should fit in 80 columns again when viewed
in mconf.
