linux-toradex.git/scripts/kconfig/tests/savedefconfig_range/expected_defconfig, branch master Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules kconfig: fix extra output from savedefconfig on out-of-range defaults 2026-09-17T23:19:02+00:00 Julian Braha julianbraha@gmail.com 2026-08-30T22:11:29+00:00 dbe1ae2304a3b02c3bf6ae82895ff232a29f3fee The Kconfig interpreter currently allows defaults that are outside of the range bounds. In these cases, the 'sym_validate_range' function will adjust the default value to the nearest range bound. For example, see this example: config A int range 1 2 default 16 Here, since the default value of 16 is greater than the bounds, the effective default value gets adjusted down to the upper bound, 2. However, 'savedefconfig' writes non-default values, and without being aware of the automatic adjustment to the range bound, it would write: A=2 This limitation is also documented in a comment: "The following fails to handle the situation where a default value is further limited by the valid range." To resolve this, let's factor out the default-range adjustment logic from the existing 'sym_validate_range' function into its own 'sym_get_near_range_bound' function for 'savedefconfig' to use too, so that it compares against the effective value. Adds tests, accordingly.

The Kconfig interpreter currently allows defaults that are outside of the
range bounds.

In these cases, the 'sym_validate_range' function will adjust the default
value to the nearest range bound. For example, see this example:

  config A
    int
    range 1 2
    default 16

Here, since the default value of 16 is greater than the bounds, the
effective default value gets adjusted down to the upper bound, 2.

However, 'savedefconfig' writes non-default values, and without being
aware of the automatic adjustment to the range bound, it would write: A=2

This limitation is also documented in a comment: "The following fails to
handle the situation where a default value is further limited by the valid
range."

To resolve this, let's factor out the default-range adjustment logic from
the existing 'sym_validate_range' function into its own
'sym_get_near_range_bound' function for 'savedefconfig' to use too, so
that it compares against the effective value.

Adds tests, accordingly.
