kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-11-26T19:34:37+00:00

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Fix parsing Makefile with variables

2012-01-26T01:24:47+00:00

commit 364212fddaaa60c5a64f67a0f5624ad996ecc8a0 upstream.

Thomas Lange reported that when he did a 'make localmodconfig', his
config was missing the brcmsmac driver, even though he had the module
loaded.

Looking into this, I found the file:
drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/Makefile
had the following in the Makefile:

MODULEPFX := brcmsmac

obj-$(CONFIG_BRCMSMAC)  += $(MODULEPFX).o

The way streamline-config.pl works, is parsing all the
 obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o
lines to find that CONFIG_FOO belongs to the module foo.ko.

But in this case, the brcmsmac.o was not used, but a variable in its place.

By changing streamline-config.pl to remember defined variables in Makefiles
and substituting them when they are used in the obj-X lines, allows
Thomas (and others) to have their brcmsmac module stay configured
when it is loaded and running "make localmodconfig".

kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Simplify backslash line concatination

2012-01-26T01:24:47+00:00

commit d060d963e88f3e990cec2fe5214de49de9a49eca upstream.

Simplify the way lines ending with backslashes (continuation) in Makefiles
is parsed. This is needed to implement a necessary fix.

kbuild: Fix help text not displayed in choice option.

2011-11-11T17:36:57+00:00

commit 3f198dfee49d2e9c30583c62b0c79286c78c7b44 upstream.

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.

xconfig: merge code path to conf_write()

2011-05-25T13:05:07+00:00

Avoid to have multiple path saving the config. This fixes an error check
miss when the window is being closed and the user requested the config
to be written.

gconfig: Hide unused left treeview when start up the interface

2011-05-24T13:41:51+00:00

When the gconfig program starts in full mode view, it shows the
left treeview which belongs to the 'split mode view'. The patch
fix this visual issue.

gconfig: enable rules hint for main treeviews

2011-05-24T13:41:51+00:00

Due to the large amount of rows in the treeviews, is difficult to
match columns with rows, setting the rules hint to 'true' allows the
treeview to alternate background colors in the rows making the data
more readable.
