module: Fix the modversions and signing submenus
The module Kconfig file contains a set of options related to "Module versioning support" (depends on MODVERSIONS) and "Module signature verification" (depends on MODULE_SIG). The Kconfig tool automatically creates submenus when an entry for a symbol is followed by consecutive items that all depend on the symbol. However, this functionality doesn't work for the mentioned module options. The MODVERSIONS options are interleaved with ASM_MODVERSIONS, which has no 'depends on MODVERSIONS' but instead uses 'default HAVE_ASM_MODVERSIONS && MODVERSIONS'. Similarly, the MODULE_SIG options are interleaved by a comment warning not to forget signing modules with scripts/sign-file, which uses the condition 'depends on MODULE_SIG_FORCE && !MODULE_SIG_ALL'. The result is that the options are confusingly shown when using a menuconfig tool, as follows: [*] Module versioning support Module versioning implementation (genksyms (from source code)) ---> [ ] Extended Module Versioning Support [*] Basic Module Versioning Support [*] Source checksum for all modules [*] Module signature verification [ ] Require modules to be validly signed [ ] Automatically sign all modules Hash algorithm to sign modules (SHA-256) ---> Fix the issue by using if/endif to group related options together in kernel/module/Kconfig, similarly to how the MODULE_DEBUG options are already grouped. Note that the signing-related options depend on 'MODULE_SIG || IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG', with the exception of MODULE_SIG_FORCE, which is valid only for MODULE_SIG and is therefore kept separately. For consistency, do the same for the MODULE_COMPRESS entries. The options are then properly placed into submenus, as follows: [*] Module versioning support Module versioning implementation (genksyms (from source code)) ---> [ ] Extended Module Versioning Support [*] Basic Module Versioning Support [*] Source checksum for all modules [*] Module signature verification [ ] Require modules to be validly signed [ ] Automatically sign all modules Hash algorithm to sign modules (SHA-256) ---> Signed-off-by: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Gomez <da.gomez@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>
