kconfig: require the argument of --defconfig

2019-06-09T06:08:18Z

Currently, the argument for --defconfig is optional. If the argument is not passed, the hard-coded default arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig is used. It no longer happens in Linux since the last users of the default are gone by the following commits: - Commit f3e20ad67b4c ("s390: move arch/s390/defconfig to arch/s390/configs/defconfig") - Commit 986a13769c4b ("alpha: move arch/alpha/defconfig to arch/alpha/configs/defconfig") I want to kill the Linux-specific directory path embedded in the Kconfig binary. The --savedefconfig (reverse operation of --defconfig) requires an argument, so it should not hurt to do likewise for --defconfig. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: move ".config not found!" message from Kconfig to Makefile

2019-02-27T13:25:10Z

If you run "make" in a pristine source tree, currently Kbuild will start to build Kconfig to let it show the error message. It would be more straightforward to check it in Makefile and let it fail immediately. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: convert to SPDX License Identifier

2018-12-28T13:22:28Z

All files in lxdialog/ are licensed under GPL-2.0+, and the rest are under GPL-2.0. I added GPL-2.0 tags to test scripts in tests/. Documentation/process/license-rules.rst does not suggest anything about the flex/bison files. Because flex does not accept the C++ comment style at the very top of a file, I used the C style for zconf.l, and so for zconf.y for consistency. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: remove oldnoconfig target

kconfig: suppress "configuration written to .config" for syncconfig

2018-08-22T14:21:41Z

The top-level Makefile invokes "make syncconfig" when necessary. Then, Kconfig displays the following message when .config is updated. # # configuration written to .config # It is distracting because "make syncconfig" happens during the build stage, and does nothing important in most cases.

kconfig: allow all config targets to write auto.conf if missing

2018-07-25T14:25:30Z

Currently, only syncconfig creates or updates include/config/auto.conf and some other files. Other config targets create or update only the .config file. When you configure and build the kernel from a pristine source tree, any config target is followed by syncconfig in the build stage since include/config/auto.conf is missing. We are moving compiler tests from Makefile to Kconfig. It means that parsing Kconfig files will be more costly since Kconfig invokes the compiler commands internally. Thus, we want to avoid invoking Kconfig twice (one for *config to create the .config, and one for syncconfig to synchronize the auto.conf). If auto.conf does not exist, we can generate all configuration files in the first configuration stage, which will save the syncconfig in the build stage. Please note this should be done only when auto.conf is missing. If *config blindly did this, time stamp files under include/config/ would be unnecessarily touched, triggering unneeded rebuild of objects. I assume a scenario like this: 1. You have a source tree that has already been built with CONFIG_FOO disabled 2. Run "make menuconfig" to enable CONFIG_FOO 3. CONFIG_FOO turns out to be unnecessary. Run "make menuconfig" again to disable CONFIG_FOO 4. Run "make" In this case, include/config/foo.h should not be touched since there is no change in CONFIG_FOO. The sync process should be delayed until the user really attempts to build the kernel. This commit has another motivation; I want to suppress the 'No such file or directory' warning from the 'include' directive. The top-level Makefile includes auto.conf with '-include' directive, like this: ifeq ($(dot-config),1) -include include/config/auto.conf endif This looks strange because auto.conf is mandatory when dot-config is 1. I guess only the reason of using '-include' is to suppress the warning 'include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory' when building from a clean tree. However, this has a side-effect; Make considers the files included by '-include' are optional. Hence, Make continues to build even if it fails to generate include/config/auto.conf. I will change this in the next commit, but the warning message is annoying. (At least, kbuild test robot reports it as a regression.) With this commit, Kconfig will generate all configuration files together with the .config and I guess it is a solution good enough to suppress the warning. Note: GNU Make 4.2 or later does not display the warning from the 'include' directive if include files are successfully generated. See GNU Make commit 87a5f98d248f ("[SV 102] Don't show unnecessary include file errors.") However, older GNU Make versions are still widely used. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: make syncconfig update .config regardless of sym_change_count

2018-07-25T14:25:30Z

syncconfig updates the .config only when sym_change_count > 0, i.e. any change in config symbols has been detected. Not only symbols but also comments are contained in the .config file. If only comments are updated, they are not fed back to the .config, then the stale comments are left-over. Of course, this is just a matter of comments, but why not fix it. I see some scenarios where this happens. Scenario A: 1. You have a source tree that has already been configured. 2. Linus increments the version number in the top-level Makefile (i.e. he commits a new release) 3. You pull it, and run 'make' 4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable, KERNELVERSION is updated, but the .config is not updated since no config symbol is changed. 5. The .config file contains a kernel version in the top line: # Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT. # Linux/arm64 4.18.0-rc2 Kernel Configuration ... which points to a previous version. Scenario B: 1. You have a source tree that has already been configured. 2. You upgrade the compiler, but it still has the same version number. This may happen if you regularly build the latest compiler from the source code. 3. You run 'make' 4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable, CC_VERSION_TEXT is updated, but the .config is not updated since no config symbol is changed. 5. The .config file contains the version string of the compiler: # # Compiler: aarch64-linux-gcc (GCC) 9.0.0 20180628 (experimental) # ... which carries the information of the old compiler. If KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is set, syncconfig is not allowed to update the .config file. Otherwise, it is fine to update it regardless of sym_change_count. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: drop localization support

2018-05-28T09:25:21Z

The localization support is broken and appears unused. There is no google hits on the update-po-config target. And there is no recent (5 years) activity related to the localization. So lets just drop this as it is no longer used. Suggested-by: Ulf Magnusson Suggested-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: extend output of 'listnewconfig'

2018-04-13T14:23:11Z

We at Red Hat/Fedora have generally tried to have a per file breakdown of every config option we set. This makes it easy for us to add new options when they are exposed and keep a changelog of why they were set. A Fedora example is here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/kernel.git/tree/configs/fedora/generic Using various merge scripts, we build up a config file and run it through 'make listnewconfig' and 'make oldnoconfig'. The idea is to print out new config options that haven't been manually set and use the default until a patch is posted to set it properly. To speed things up, it would be nice to make it easier to generate a patch to post the default setting. The output of 'make listnewconfig' has two issues that limit us: - it doesn't provide the default value - it doesn't provide the new 'choice' options that get flagged in 'oldconfig' This patch extends 'listnewconfig' to address the above two issues. This allows us to run a script make listnewconfig | rhconfig-tool -o patches; git send-email patches/ The output of 'make listnewconfig': CONFIG_NET_EMATCH_IPT CONFIG_IPVLAN CONFIG_ICE CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_NI CONFIG_IEEE802154_MCR20A CONFIG_IR_IMON_DECODER CONFIG_IR_IMON_RAW The new output of 'make listnewconfig': CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=n CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO=n CONFIG_NET_EMATCH_IPT=n CONFIG_IPVLAN=n CONFIG_ICE=n CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_NI=y CONFIG_IEEE802154_MCR20A=n CONFIG_IR_IMON_DECODER=n CONFIG_IR_IMON_RAW=n Signed-off-by: Don Zickus Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
