kconfig: drop localization support

2018-05-28T09:25:21+00:00

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.

kconfig: extend output of 'listnewconfig'

2018-04-13T14:23:11+00:00

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

kconfig: rename silentoldconfig to syncconfig

2018-03-25T17:04:00+00:00

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.

kconfig: hide irrelevant sub-menus for oldconfig

2018-03-25T17:03:59+00:00

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].

kconfig: remove redundant input_mode test for check_conf() loop

2018-03-25T17:03:59+00:00

check_conf() never increments conf_cnt for listnewconfig, so conf_cnt
is always zero.

In other words, conf_cnt is not zero, "input_mode != listnewconfig"
is met.

kconfig: do not call check_conf() for olddefconfig

2018-03-25T17:03:58+00:00

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.

kconfig: echo stdin to stdout if either is redirected

2018-02-08T19:10:10+00:00

If stdio is not tty, conf_askvalue() puts additional new line to
prevent prompts from being concatenated into a single line.  This
care is missing in conf_choice(), so a 'choice' prompt and the next
prompt are shown in the same line.

Move the code into xfgets() to cater to all cases.  To improve this
more, let's echo stdin to stdout.  This clarifies what keys were
input from stdio and the stdout looks like as if it were from tty.

I removed the isatty(2) check since stderr is unrelated here.

kconfig: remove check_stdin()

2018-02-08T19:10:10+00:00

Except silentoldconfig, valid_stdin is 1, so check_stdin() is no-op.

oldconfig and silentoldconfig work almost in the same way except that
the latter generates additional files under include/.  Both ask users
for input for new symbols.

I do not know why only silentoldconfig requires stdio be tty.

  $ rm -f .config; touch .config
  $ yes "" | make oldconfig > stdout
  $ rm -f .config; touch .config
  $ yes "" | make silentoldconfig > stdout
  make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
  make: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
  $ tail -n 4 stdout
  Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update configuration.

  scripts/kconfig/Makefile:40: recipe for target 'silentoldconfig' failed
  Makefile:507: recipe for target 'silentoldconfig' failed

Redirection is useful, for example, for testing where we want to give
particular key inputs from a test file, then check the result.
