The check for 'sym1 == sym2' is redundant here because it has already
been done a few lines above:

    if (sym1 != sym2)
            return NULL;

<title>kconfig: fix comparison to constant symbols, 'm', 'n'</title>

<id>aabdc960a283ba78086b0bf66ee74326f49e218e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, comparisons to 'm' or 'n' result in incorrect output.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    config A
            def_tristate m

    config B
            def_bool A &gt; n

CONFIG_B is unset, while CONFIG_B=y is expected.

The reason for the issue is because Kconfig compares the tristate values
as strings.

Currently, the .type fields in the constant symbol definitions,
symbol_{yes,mod,no} are unspecified, i.e., S_UNKNOWN.

When expr_calc_value() evaluates 'A &gt; n', it checks the types of 'A' and
'n' to determine how to compare them.

The left-hand side, 'A', is a tristate symbol with a value of 'm', which
corresponds to a numeric value of 1. (Internally, 'y', 'm', and 'n' are
represented as 2, 1, and 0, respectively.)

The right-hand side, 'n', has an unknown type, so it is treated as the
string "n" during the comparison.

expr_calc_value() compares two values numerically only when both can
have numeric values. Otherwise, they are compared as strings.

    symbol    numeric value    ASCII code
    -------------------------------------
      y           2             0x79
      m           1             0x6d
      n           0             0x6e

'm' is greater than 'n' if compared numerically (since 1 is greater
than 0), but smaller than 'n' if compared as strings (since the ASCII
code 0x6d is smaller than 0x6e).

Specifying .type=S_TRISTATE for symbol_{yes,mod,no} fixes the above
test code.

Doing so, however, would cause a regression to the following test code.

[Test Code 2]

    config MODULES
            def_bool n
            modules

    config A
            def_tristate n

    config B
            def_bool A = m

You would get CONFIG_B=y, while CONFIG_B should not be set.

The reason is because sym_get_string_value() turns 'm' into 'n' when the
module feature is disabled. Consequently, expr_calc_value() evaluates
'A = n' instead of 'A = m'. This oddity has been hidden because the type
of 'm' was previously S_UNKNOWN instead of S_TRISTATE.

sym_get_string_value() should not tweak the string because the tristate
value has already been correctly calculated. There is no reason to
return the string "n" where its tristate value is mod.

Choices and their members are associated via the P_CHOICE property.

Currently, prop_get_symbol(sym_get_choice_prop()) is used to obtain
the choice of the given choice member.

Replace it with sym_get_choice_menu(), which retrieves the choice
without relying on P_CHOICE.

This code previously displayed child symbols of the selected choice
member.

Since commit 7e3465f63a0a ("kconfig: do not reparent the menu inside
a choice block"), choice members never have child symbols, therefore
this is dead code.

Currently, bool choices have a checkbox, but tristate choices do not.
It is opposite.

Bool choices should not have a checkbox, as they are fixed to 'y' since
commit 6a1215888e23 ("kconfig: remove 'optional' property support").
Tristate choices, however, should have a checkbox to allow users to
toggle the value.
