kbuild: document recursive dependency limitation / resolution

2015-10-08T13:36:16Z

Recursive dependency issues with kconfig are unavoidable due to some limitations with kconfig, since these issues are recurring provide a hint to the user how they can resolve these dependency issues and also document why such limitation exists. While at it also document a bit of future prospects of ways to enhance Kconfig, including providing formal semantics and evaluation of use of a SAT solver. If you're interested in this work or prospects of it check out the kconfig-sat project wiki [0] and mailing list [1].

kconfig: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call "sym_calc_value"

2015-08-19T14:41:02Z

The sym_calc_value() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kconfig: allow use of relations other than (in)equality

2015-06-15T12:05:58Z

Over the years I found it desirable to be able to use all sorts of relations, not just (in)equality. And apparently I'm not the only one, as there's at least one example in the tree where the programmer assumed this would work (see DEBUG_UART_8250_WORD in arch/arm/Kconfig.debug). Another possible use would e.g. be to fold the two SMP/NR_CPUS prompts into one: SMP could be promptless, simply depending on NR_CPUS > 1. A (desirable) side effect of this change - resulting from numeric values now necessarily being compared as numbers rather than as strings - is that comparing hex values now works as expected: Other than int ones (which aren't allowed to have leading zeroes), zeroes following the 0x prefix made them compare unequal even if their values were equal.

kconfig: fix trivial typos and update mconf documentation

2013-10-08T21:52:14Z

This fixes lots of typos in comments and strings. It also updates the documentation strings in mconf to reflect the changes in the user interface from the two commits 6364fd0cb1e4c7f72b974613e0cf5744ae4d2cb2 menuconfig: Add Save/Load buttons 1bdbac478a858d2aa73a6784c7c2e09de0f6d06b menuconfig: Get rid of the top-level entries for "Load an Alternate/Save an Alternate" And it updates the layout of the example search result, i. e. moves down the "Defined at" and "Depends on" lines and adds a symbol state ([=n]) to the symbol in the "Selected by" line. Furthermore, the help texts now should fit in 80 columns again when viewed in mconf. Signed-off-by: Martin Walch Reviewed-by: Jean Delvare Reviewed-by: Wang YanQing Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN"

kconfig: switch to "long long" for sanity

2013-08-15T20:48:06Z

Instead of using "long" for kconfig "hex" and "range" values, which may change in size depending on the host architecture, use "long long". This will allow values greater than INT_MAX on 32-bit hosts when cross compiling. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Tested-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN"

kconfig: simplify symbol-search code

2013-07-16T18:39:42Z

There is no need for a double indirection in the temporary array that stores the internediate search results. Reported-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Reviewed-by: Jean Delvare

kconfig: don't allocate n+1 elements in temporary array

2013-07-16T18:36:18Z

The temporary array that stores the search results is not NULL-terminated, so there is no reason to allocate n+1 elements. Reported-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Reviewed-by: Jean Delvare

kconfig: minor style fixes in symbol-search code

2013-07-16T18:34:44Z

Two minor style fixes: - no space before/after parenthesis in function definition - no {} for single-line if() And one grammar fix in a comment. Reported-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Cc: Jean Delvare Reviewed-by: Jean Delvare

kconfig: avoid multiple calls to strlen

2013-07-16T18:26:46Z

Calls to strlen are costly, so avoid calling strln as much as we can. Reported-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Cc: Jean Delvare Reviewed-by: Jean Delvare
