Commit cb67ab2cd2b8 ("kconfig: do not write choice values when their
dependency becomes n") fixed a problem where "# CONFIG_... is not set"
for choice values are wrongly written into the .config file when they
are once visible, then become invisible later.
Add a test for this naive case.

If new choice values are added with new dependency, and they become
visible during user configuration, oldconfig should recognize them
as (NEW), and ask the user for choice.
This issue was fixed by commit 5d09598d488f ("kconfig: fix new choices
being skipped upon config update").
This is a subtle corner case. Add a test case to avoid breakage.

If a symbols has dependency on the preceding symbol, the menu entry
should become the submenu of the preceding one, and displayed with
deeper indentation.
This is done by restructuring the menu tree in menu_finalize().
It is a bit complicated computation, so let's add a test case.

The calculation of 'choice' is a bit complicated part in Kconfig.
The behavior of 'y' choice is intuitive. If choice values are tristate,
the choice can be 'm' where each value can be enabled independently.
Also, if a choice is marked as 'optional', the whole choice can be
invisible.
Test basic functionality of choice.

Many parts in Kconfig are so cryptic and need refactoring. However,
its complexity prevents us from moving forward. There are several
naive corner cases where it is difficult to notice breakage. If
those are covered by unit tests, we will be able to touch the code
with more confidence.
Here is a simple test framework based on pytest. The conftest.py
provides a fixture useful to run commands such as 'oldaskconfig' etc.
and to compare the resulted .config, stdout, stderr with expectations.
How to add test cases?
----------------------
For each test case, you should create a subdirectory under
scripts/kconfig/tests/ (so test cases are separated from each other).
Every test case directory should contain the following files:
- __init__.py: describes test functions
- Kconfig: the top level Kconfig file for the test
To do a useful job, test cases generally need additional data like
input .config and information about expected results.
How to run tests?
-----------------
You need python3 and pytest. Then, run "make testconfig". O= option
is supported. If V=1 is given, detailed logs captured during tests
are displayed.

As commit cedd55d49dee ("kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help
and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help") mentioned, 'silentoldconfig' is a
historical misnomer. That commit removed it from help and docs since
it is an internal interface. If so, it should be allowed to rename
it to something more intuitive. 'syncconfig' is the one I came up
with because it updates the .config if necessary, then synchronize
include/generated/autoconf.h and include/config/* with it.
You should not manually invoke 'silentoldcofig'. Display warning if
used in case existing scripts are doing wrong.

Historically, "make oldconfig" has changed its behavior several times,
quieter or louder. (I attached the history below.) Currently, it is
not as quiet as it should be. This commit addresses it.
Test Case
---------
---------------------------(Kconfig)----------------------------
menu "menu"
config FOO
bool "foo"
menu "sub menu"
config BAR
bool "bar"
endmenu
endmenu
menu "sibling menu"
config BAZ
bool "baz"
endmenu
----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------(.config)----------------------------
CONFIG_BAR=y
CONFIG_BAZ=y
----------------------------------------------------------------
With the Kconfig and .config above, "make silentoldconfig" and
"make oldconfig" work differently, like follows:
$ make silentoldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* menu
*
foo (FOO) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* menu
*
foo (FOO) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
*
* sub menu
*
bar (BAR) [Y/n/?] y
#
# configuration written to .config
#
Both hide "sibling node" since it is irrelevant. The difference is
that silentoldconfig hides "sub menu" whereas oldconfig does not.
The behavior of silentoldconfig is preferred since the "sub menu"
does not contain any new symbol.
The root cause is in conf(). There are three input modes that can
call conf(); oldaskconfig, oldconfig, and silentoldconfig.
Everytime conf() encounters a menu entry, it calls check_conf() to
check if it contains new symbols. If no new symbol is found, the
menu is just skipped.
Currently, this happens only when input_mode == silentoldconfig.
The oldaskconfig enters into the check_conf() loop as silentoldconfig,
so oldaskconfig works likewise for the second loop or later, but it
never happens for oldconfig. So, irrelevant sub-menus are shown for
oldconfig.
Change the test condition to "input_mode != oldaskconfig". This is
false only for the first loop of oldaskconfig; it must ask the user
all symbols, so no need to call check_conf().
History of oldconfig
--------------------
[0] Originally, "make oldconfig" was as loud as "make config" (It
showed the entire .config file)
[1] Commit cd9140e1e73a ("kconfig: make oldconfig is now less chatty")
made oldconfig quieter, but it was still less quieter than
silentoldconfig. (oldconfig did not hide sub-menus)
[2] Commit 204c96f60904 ("kconfig: fix silentoldconfig") changed
the input_mode of oldconfig to "ask_silent" from "ask_new".
So, oldconfig really became as quiet as silentoldconfig.
(oldconfig hided irrelevant sub-menus)
[3] Commit 4062f1a4c030 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") made
oldconfig as loud as [0] due to misconversion.
[4] Commit 14828349719a ("kconfig: fix make oldconfig") addressed
the misconversion of [3], but it made oldconfig quieter only to
the same level as [1], not [2].
This commit is restoring the behavior of [2].

check_conf() traverses the menu tree, but it is completely no-op for
olddefconfig because the following if-else block does nothing.
if (input_mode == listnewconfig) {
...
} else if (input_mode != olddefconfig) {

}
As the help message says, olddefconfig automatically sets new symbols
to their default value. There is no room for manual intervention.
So, calling check_conf() for olddefconfig is odd in the first place.

=== Background ===
- Visible n-valued bool/tristate symbols generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line in the .config file. The idea is to
remember the user selection without having to set a Makefile
variable. Having n correspond to the variable being undefined in the
Makefiles makes for easy CONFIG_* tests.
- Invisible n-valued bool/tristate symbols normally do not generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line, because user values from .config
files have no effect on invisible symbols anyway.
Currently, there is one exception to this rule: Any bool/tristate symbol
that gets the value n through a 'default' property generates a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line, even if the symbol is invisible.
Note that this only applies to explicitly given defaults, and not when
the symbol implicitly defaults to n (like bool/tristate symbols without
'default' properties do).
This is inconsistent, and seems redundant:
- As mentioned, the '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' won't affect the symbol
once the .config is read back in.
- Even if the symbol is invisible at first but becomes visible later,
there shouldn't be any harm in recalculating the default value
rather than viewing the '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' as a previous
user value of n.
=== Changes ===
Change sym_calc_value() to only set SYMBOL_WRITE (write to .config) for
non-n-valued 'default' properties.
Note that SYMBOL_WRITE is always set for visible symbols regardless of whether
they have 'default' properties or not, so this change only affects invisible
symbols.
This reduces the size of the x86 .config on my system by about 1% (due
to removed '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' entries).
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:
config FOO
bool
config FOO
bool
default n
With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.
This change only affects generated .config files and not autoconf.h:
autoconf.h only includes #defines for non-n bool/tristate symbols.
=== Testing ===
The following testing was done with the x86 Kconfigs:
- .config files generated before and after the change were compared to
verify that the only difference is some '# CONFIG_FOO is not set'
entries disappearing. A couple of these were inspected manually, and
most turned out to be from redundant 'default n/def_bool n'
properties.
- The generated include/generated/autoconf.h was compared before and
after the change and verified to be identical.
- As a sanity check, the same modification was done to Kconfiglib.
The Kconfiglib test suite was then run to check for any mismatches
against the output of the C implementation.

Surprisingly or not, disabling a CONFIG option (which is assumed to
be unneeded) may be not so trivial. Especially it is not trivial, when
this CONFIG option is selected by a dozen of other configs. Before the
moment commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and
"Implied by:" readable") popped up in v4.16-rc1, it was an absolute pain
to break down the "Selected by" reverse dependency expression in order
to identify all those configs which select (IOW *do not allow
disabling*) a certain feature (assumed to be not needed).
This patch tries to make one step further by putting at users'
fingertips the revdep top level OR sub-expressions grouped/clustered by
the tristate value they evaluate to. This should allow the users to
directly concentrate on and tackle the _active_ reverse dependencies.
To give some numbers and quantify the complexity of certain reverse
dependencies, assuming commit 617aebe6a97e ("Merge tag
'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64
and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with
the highest amount of top level "||" sub-expressions/tokens that make
up the final "Selected by" reverse dependency expression.
| Config | All revdep | Active revdep |
|-------------------|------------|---------------|
| REGMAP_I2C | 212 | 9 |
| CRC32 | 167 | 25 |
| FW_LOADER | 128 | 5 |
| MFD_CORE | 124 | 9 |
| FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT | 114 | 2 |
| FB_CFB_COPYAREA | 111 | 2 |
| FB_CFB_FILLRECT | 110 | 2 |
| SND_PCM | 103 | 2 |
| CRYPTO_HASH | 87 | 19 |
| WATCHDOG_CORE | 86 | 6 |
The story behind the above is that users need to visually
review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C
in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C,
for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.
To make this experience smoother, change the way reverse dependencies
are displayed to the user from [1] to [2].

This commit splits out the special E_OR handling ('-' instead of '||')
into a dedicated helper expr_print_revdev().
Restore the original expr_print() prior to commit 1ccb27143360
("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable").
This makes sense because:
- We need to chop those expressions only when printing the reverse
dependency, and only when E_OR is encountered
- Otherwise, it should be printed as before, so fall back to
expr_print()
This also improves the behavior; for a single line, it was previously
displayed in the same line as "Selected by", like this:
Selected by: A [=n] && B [=n]
This will be displayed in a new line, consistently:
Selected by:
- A [=n] && B [=n]

IMO, we should discourage '---help---' for new help texts, even in cases
where it would be consistent with other help texts in the file. This
will help if we ever want to get rid of '---help---' in the future.
Also simplify the code to only check for exactly '---help---'. Since
commit c2264564df3d ("kconfig: warn of unhandled characters in Kconfig

form. Prior to that commit, '---help---' working was more of a syntactic

Currently, only Kconfig symbols are checked for a missing or short help
text, and are only checked if they are defined with the 'config'
keyword.
To make the check more general, extend it to also check help texts for
choices and for symbols defined with the 'menuconfig' keyword.
This increases the accuracy of the check for symbols that would already
have been checked as well, since e.g. a 'menuconfig' symbol after a help
text will be recognized as ending the preceding symbol/choice
definition.
To increase the accuracy of the check further, also recognize 'if',
'endif', 'menu', 'endmenu', 'endchoice', and 'source' as ending a
symbol/choice definition.

When built-in.o was incrementally linked with 'ld -r', the section
mismatch analysis for the individual built-in.o was possible when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH was enabled.
With the migration to the thin archive, built-in.a (former, built-in.o)
is no longer an ELF file. So, the modpost does nothing useful.
scripts/mod/modpost.c just checks the header to bail out, as follows:
/* Is this a valid ELF file? */
if ((hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG0] != ELFMAG0) ||
(hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG1] != ELFMAG1) ||
(hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG2] != ELFMAG2) ||
(hdr->e_ident[EI_MAG3] != ELFMAG3)) {
/* Not an ELF file - silently ignore it */
return 0;
}
We have the full analysis in the final link stage anyway, so we would
not miss the section mismatching.
I do not see a good reason to require extra linking only for the
purpose of the per-directory analysis. Just get rid of this part.

In Kbuild, Makefiles can add the same object to obj-y multiple
times. So,
obj-y += foo.o
obj-y += foo.o
is fine.
However, this is not true when the same object is added multiple
times via composite objects. For example,
obj-y += foo.o bar.o
foo-objs := foo-bar-common.o foo-only.o
bar-objs := foo-bar-common.o bar-only.o
causes build error because two instances of foo-bar-common.o are
linked into the vmlinux.
Makefiles tend to invent ugly work-around, for example
- lib/zstd/Makefile
- drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/Makefile
The technique used in Kbuild to avoid the multiple definition error
is to use $(filter $(obj-y), $^). Here, $^ lists the names of all
the prerequisites with duplicated names removed.
By replacing it with $(filter $(real-obj-y), $^) we can do likewise
for composite objects. For built-in objects, we do not need to keep
the composite object structure. We can simply expand them, and link
$(real-obj-y) to built-in.a.

Currently, KBUILD_MODNAME is defined only when $(modname) contains
just one word. If an object is shared among multiple modules,
undefined KBUILD_MODNAME could cause a build error. For example,
if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled, any call of printk() populates
.modname, then fails to build due to undefined KBUILD_MODNAME.
Take the following code as an example:
obj-m += foo.o
obj-m += bar.o
foo-objs := foo-bar-common.o foo-only.o
bar-objs := foo-bar-common.o bar-only.o
In this case, there is room for argument what to define for
KBUILD_MODNAME when foo-bar-common.o is being compiled.
"foo", "bar", or what else?
One idea is to define colon-separated modules that share the object,
in this case, "bar:foo" (modules are sorted alphabetically by
$(sort ...)).

stat(1) is not standardized and different implementations have their own
(conflicting) flags for querying the size of a file.
ls(1) provides the same information (value of st.st_size) in the 5th
column, except when the file is a character or block device. This output
is standardized[0]. The -n option turns on -l, which writes lines
formatted like
"%s %u %s %s %u %s %s\n", <file mode>, <number of links>,
<owner name>, <group name>, <size>, <date and time>,
<pathname>
but instead of writing the <owner name> and <group name>, it writes the
numeric owner and group IDs (this avoids /etc/passwd and /etc/group
lookups as well as potential field splitting issues).
The <size> field is specified as "the value that would be returned for
the file in the st_size field of struct stat".
To avoid duplicating logic in several locations in the tree, create
scripts/file-size.sh and update callers to use that instead of stat(1).

Commit d3fc425e819b ("kbuild: make sure autoksyms.h exists early")
moved the code that touches autoksyms.h to scripts/kconfig/Makefile
with obscure reason.
From Nicolas' comment [1], he did not seem to be sure about the root
cause.
I guess I figured it out, so here is a fix-up I think is more correct.
According to the error log in the original post [2], the build failed
in scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c
scripts/mod/Makefile is descended from scripts/Makefile, which is
invoked from the top-level Makefile by the 'scripts' target.
To build vmlinux and/or modules, Kbuild descend into $(vmlinux-dirs).
This depends on 'prepare' and 'scripts' as follows:
$(vmlinux-dirs): prepare scripts
Because there is no dependency between 'prepare' and 'scripts', the
parallel building can execute them simultaneously.
'prepare' depends on 'prepare1', which touched autoksyms.h, while
'scripts' descends into script/, then scripts/mod/, which needs
<generated/autoksyms.h> if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS. It was the
reason of the race.
I am not happy to have unrelated code in the Kconfig Makefile, so
getting it back to the top Makefile.
I removed the standalone test target because I want to use it to
create an empty autoksyms.h file. Here is a little improvement;
unnecessary autoksyms.h is not created when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is disabled.

The build system creates it anyway because <linux/export.h> and
<asm-generic/export.h> need it.
The code would not have worked as intended, and people have not
noticed it. This is a proof that we can simply remove it.

Currently, linker options are tested by the coordination of $(CC) and
$(LD) because $(LD) needs some object to link.
As commit 86a9df597cdd ("kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when
cross compiling with Clang") addressed, we need to make sure $(CC)
and $(LD) agree the underlying architecture of the passed object.
This could be a bit complex when we combine tools from different groups.
For example, we can use clang for $(CC), but we still need to rely on
GCC toolchain for $(LD).
So, I was searching for a way of standalone testing of linker options.
A trick I found is to use '-v'; this not only prints the version string,
but also tests if the given option is recognized.
If a given option is supported,
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU ld (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11) 2.28.2.20170706
$ echo $?
0
If unsupported,
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU ld (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.7-2013.04-20130415 - Linaro GCC 2013.04) 2.23.1
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: unrecognized option '--fix-cortex-a53-843419'
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: use the --help option for usage information
$ echo $?
1
Gold works likewise.
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14
masahiro@pug:~/ref/linux$ echo $?

$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999

Incremental linking is gone, so rename built-in.o to built-in.a, which
is the usual extension for archive files.
This patch does two things, first is a simple search/replace:
git grep -l 'built-in\.o' | xargs sed -i 's/built-in\.o/built-in\.a/g'
The second is to invert nesting of nested text manipulations to avoid
filtering built-in.a out from libs-y2:
-libs-y2 := $(filter-out %.a, $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(libs-y)))
+libs-y2 := $(patsubst %/, %/built-in.a, $(filter-out %.a, $(libs-y)))

* Use BREs where EREs aren't necessary.
* Pass -E instead of -r to use EREs. This will be standardized in the
next POSIX revision[0]. GNU sed supports this since 4.2 (May 2009),
and busybox since 1.22.0 (Jan 2014).
* Use the [:space:] character class instead of ` \t` in bracket
expressions. In bracket expressions, POSIX says that <backslash> loses
its special meaning, so a conforming implementation cannot expand \t
to <tab>[1].
* In BREs, use interval expressions (\{n,m\}) instead of non-standard
features like \+ and \?.
* Use a loop instead of -s flag.
There are still plenty of other cases of non-standard sed invocations
(use of ERE features in BREs, in-place editing), but this fixes some
core ones.

Some filesystems have timestamps with coarse precision that may allow
for a recently built object file to have the same timestamp as the
updated time on one of its dependency files. When that happens, the
object file doesn't get rebuilt as it should.
This is especially the case on filesystems that don't have sub-second
time precision, such as ext3 or Ext4 with 128B inodes.
Let's prevent that by making sure updated dependency files have a newer
timestamp than the first file we created (i.e. autoksyms.h.tmpnew).

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.
Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

cmd_dt_S_dtb constructs the assembly source to incorporate a devicetree
FDT (that is, the .dtb file) as binary data in the kernel image. This
assembly source contains labels before and after the binary data. The
label names incorporate the file name of the corresponding .dtb file.
Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the
kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the
following:
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages:
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:'

bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file
name to underscores when constructing the labels.
As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC
contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests
on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files
are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y,
or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it
admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a
separate issue).

On arm64, the EFI stub and the kernel proper are essentially the same
binary, although the EFI stub executes at a different virtual address
as the kernel. For this reason, the EFI stub is restricted in the
symbols it can link to, which is ensured by prefixing all EFI stub
symbols with __efistub_ (and emitting __efistub_ prefixed aliases for
routines that may be shared between the core kernel and the stub)
These symbols are leaking into kallsyms, polluting the namespace, so
let's filter them explicitly.

kconfig.h was excluded from consideration by fixdep by
6a5be57f0f00 (fixdep: fix extraneous dependencies) to avoid some false
positive hits
(1) include/config/.h
(2) include/config/h.h
(3) include/config/foo.h
(1) occurred because kconfig.h contains the string CONFIG_ in a
comment. However, since dee81e988674 (fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search), we
have a check that the part after CONFIG_ is non-empty, so this does not
happen anymore (and CONFIG_ appears by itself elsewhere, so that check
is worthwhile).
(2) comes from the include guard, __LINUX_KCONFIG_H. But with the
previous patch, we no longer match that either.
That leaves (3), which amounts to one [1] false dependency (aka stat() call
done by make), which I think we can live with:
We've already had one case [2] where the lack of include/linux/kconfig.h in
the .o.cmd file caused a missing rebuild, and while I originally thought
we should just put kconfig.h in the dependency list without parsing it
for the CONFIG_ pattern, we actually do have some real CONFIG_ symbols
mentioned in it, and one can imagine some translation unit that just
does '#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN' but doesn't through some other header
actually depend on CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN - so changing the target
endianness could end up rebuilding the world, minus that small
TU. Quoting Linus,
... when missing dependencies cause a missed re-compile, the resulting
bugs can be _really_ subtle.
[1] well, two, we now also have CONFIG_BOOGER/booger.h - we could change
that to FOO if we care
