NULL expressions are taken to always be true, as implemented by the
expr_is_yes() macro and by several other functions in expr.c. As such,
they ought to be valid inputs to expr_eq(), which compares two
expressions.

If ncurses is installed, but at a non-default location, the previous
error message was not helpful in resolving the situation.  Now it will
suggest that pkg-config might need to be installed in addition to
ncurses.

make listnewconfig will list the individual options that need to be set.
This is useful but there's no easy way to get the help text associated
with the options at the same time. Introduce a new targe
'make helpnewconfig' which lists the full help text of all the
new options as well. This makes it easier to automatically generate
changes that are easy for humans to review. This command also adds
markers between each option for easier parsing.

util.c exists both in scripts/kconfig/ and scripts/kconfig/lxdialog.

Prior to commit 54b8ae66ae1a ("kbuild: change *FLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
to take the path relative to $(obj)"), Kbuild could not pass different
flags to source files with the same basename. Now that this issue
was solved, you can split util.c out of parser.y and compile them
independently of each other.

<title>merge_config.sh: ignore unwanted grep errors</title>

The merge_config.sh script verifies that all the config options have
their expected value in the resulting file and prints any issues as
warnings.  These checks aren't intended to be treated as errors given
the current implementation.  However, since "set -e" was added, if the
grep command to look for a config option does not find it the script
will then abort prematurely.

Handle the case where the grep exit status is non-zero by setting
ACTUAL_VAL to an empty string to restore previous functionality.

<title>kbuild: change *FLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o to take the path relative to $(obj)</title>

Kbuild provides per-file compiler flag addition/removal:

  CFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  AFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  AFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  CPPFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.lds
  HOSTCFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o
  HOSTCXXFLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o

The &lt;basetarget&gt; is the filename of the target with its directory and
suffix stripped.

This syntax comes into a trouble when two files with the same basename
appear in one Makefile, for example:

  obj-y += foo.o
  obj-y += dir/foo.o
  CFLAGS_foo.o := &lt;some-flags&gt;

Here, the &lt;some-flags&gt; applies to both foo.o and dir/foo.o

The real world problem is:

  scripts/kconfig/util.c
  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.c

Both files are compiled into scripts/kconfig/mconf, but only the
latter should be given with the ncurses flags.

It is more sensible to use the relative path to the Makefile, like this:

  obj-y += foo.o
  CFLAGS_foo.o := &lt;some-flags&gt;
  obj-y += dir/foo.o
  CFLAGS_dir/foo.o := &lt;other-flags&gt;

At first, I attempted to replace $(basetarget) with $*. The $* variable
is replaced with the stem ('%') part in a pattern rule. This works with
most of cases, but does not for explicit rules.

For example, arch/ia64/lib/Makefile reuses rule_as_o_S in its own
explicit rules, so $* will be empty, resulting in ignoring the per-file
AFLAGS.

I introduced a new variable, target-stem, which can be used also from
explicit rules.

The only the difference between clean-files and clean-dirs is the -r
option passed to the 'rm' command.

You can always pass -r, and then remove the clean-dirs syntax.

When we execute make after merging the configurations we ignore any
errors it produces causing whatever is running merge_config.sh to be
unaware of any failures.  This issue was noticed by Guillaume Tucker
while looking at problems with testing of clang only builds in KernelCI
which caused Kbuild to be unable to find a working host compiler.

This implementation was suggested by Yamada-san.

Prior to this commit, starting nconfig, xconfig or gconfig, and saving
the .config file more than once caused data loss, where a .config file
that contained only comments would be written to disk starting from the
second save operation.

This bug manifests itself because the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag is never
cleared after the first call to conf_write, and subsequent calls to
conf_write then skip all of the configuration symbols due to the
SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag being set.

This commit resolves this issue by clearing the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag
from all symbols before conf_write returns.
