commit 0c5b6c28ed68becb692b43eae5e44d5aa7e160ce upstream.

Prior to this commit, starting nconfig, xconfig or gconfig, and saving
the .config file more than once caused data loss, where a .config file
that contained only comments would be written to disk starting from the
second save operation.

This bug manifests itself because the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag is never
cleared after the first call to conf_write, and subsequent calls to
conf_write then skip all of the configuration symbols due to the
SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag being set.

This commit resolves this issue by clearing the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag
from all symbols before conf_write returns.

commit 8e2442a5f86e1f77b86401fce274a7f622740bc4 upstream.

Since commit 00c864f8903d ("kconfig: allow all config targets to write
auto.conf if missing"), Kconfig creates include/config/auto.conf in the
defconfig stage when it is missing.

Joonas Kylmälä reported incorrect auto.conf generation under some
circumstances.

To reproduce it, apply the following diff:

|  --- a/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  +++ b/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  @@ -345,14 +345,7 @@ CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MIDI=y

|  +CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y
|   CONFIG_MMC=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM=y

And then, run:

$ make ARCH=arm mrproper imx_v6_v7_defconfig

You will see CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y is correctly contained in the
.config, but not in the auto.conf.

Please note drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is included from a choice
block in drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig. So USB_FUNCTIONFS is a choice value.

This is probably a similar situation described in commit beaaddb62540
("kconfig: tests: test defconfig when two choices interact").

When sym_calc_choice() is called, the choice symbol forgets the
SYMBOL_DEF_USER unless all of its choice values are explicitly set by
the user.

The choice symbol is given just one chance to recall it because
set_all_choice_values() is called if SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES
is set.

When sym_calc_choice() is called again, the choice symbol forgets it
forever, since SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES is a one-time aid.
Hence, we cannot call sym_clear_all_valid() again and again.

It is crazy to repeat set and unset of internal flags. However, we
cannot simply get rid of "sym-&gt;flags &amp;= flags | ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;"
Doing so would re-introduce the problem solved by commit 5d09598d488f
("kconfig: fix new choices being skipped upon config update").

To work around the issue, conf_write_autoconf() stopped calling
sym_clear_all_valid().

conf_write() must be changed accordingly. Currently, it clears
SYMBOL_WRITE after the symbol is written into the .config file. This
is needed to prevent it from writing the same symbol multiple times in
case the symbol is declared in two or more locations. I added the new
flag SYMBOL_WRITTEN, to track the symbols that have been written.

Anyway, this is a cheesy workaround in order to suppress the issue
as far as defconfig is concerned.

Handling of choices is totally broken. sym_clear_all_valid() is called
every time a user touches a symbol from the GUI interface. To reproduce
it, just add a new symbol drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig, then touch
around unrelated symbols from menuconfig. USB_FUNCTIONFS will disappear
from the .config file.

I added the Fixes tag since it is more fatal than before. But, this
has been broken since long long time before, and still it is.
We should take a closer look to fix this correctly somehow.

[ Upstream commit 9c38f1f044080392603c497ecca4d7d09876ff99 ]

Backspace is not working on some terminal emulators which do not send the
key code defined by terminfo. Terminals either send '^H' (8) or '^?' (127).
But currently only '^?' is handled. Let's also handle '^H' for those
terminals.

[ Upstream commit fbac5977d81cb2b2b7e37b11c459055d9585273c ]

An unterminated string literal followed by new line is passed to the
parser (with "multi-line strings not supported" warning shown), then
handled properly there.

On the other hand, an unterminated string literal at end of file is
never passed to the parser, then results in memory leak.

[Test Code]

  ----------(Kconfig begin)----------
  source "Kconfig.inc"

  config A
          bool "a"
  -----------(Kconfig end)-----------

  --------(Kconfig.inc begin)--------
  config B
          bool "b\No new line at end of file
  ---------(Kconfig.inc end)---------

[Summary from Valgrind]

  Before the fix:

    LEAK SUMMARY:
       definitely lost: 16 bytes in 1 blocks
       ...

  After the fix:

    LEAK SUMMARY:
       definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
       ...

Eliminate the memory leak path by handling this case. Of course, such
a Kconfig file is wrong already, so I will add an error message later.

[ Upstream commit 77c1c0fa8b1477c5799bdad65026ea5ff676da44 ]

Currently, warn_ignore_character() displays invalid file name and
line number.

The lexer should use current_file-&gt;name and yylineno, while the parser
should use zconf_curname() and zconf_lineno().

This difference comes from that the lexer is always going ahead
of the parser. The parser needs to look ahead one token to make a
shift/reduce decision, so the lexer is requested to scan more text
from the input file.

This commit fixes the warning message from warn_ignored_character().

[Test Code]

  ----(Kconfig begin)----
  /
  -----(Kconfig end)-----

[Output]

  Before the fix:

  &lt;none&gt;:0:warning: ignoring unsupported character '/'

  After the fix:

  Kconfig:1:warning: ignoring unsupported character '/'

Meelis Roos reported a {menu,n}config regression:
 "I have libncurses devel package installed in the default system
  location (as do 99%+ on actual developers probably) and in this
  case, pkg-config is useless.  pkg-config is needed only when
  libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but
  it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines
  where make menuconfig would be possibly run."

For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed.
For {g,x}config, keep checking pkg-config since we really rely on it
for finding the installation paths of the required packages.

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.

If you run "make menuconfig" or "make nconfig" with -j&lt;N&gt; option in a
fresh source tree, you will see several "Can't open ..." messages:

  $ make -j8 menuconfig
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
    YACC    scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c

Correct dependencies to fix this problem.

<title>kconfig: improve the recursive dependency report</title>

This commit improves the messages of the recursive dependency.
Currently, sym-&gt;dir_dep.expr is not checked.  Hence, any dependency
in property visibility is regarded as the dependency of the symbol.

[Test Code 1]

  config A
          bool "a"
          depends on B

  config B
          bool "b"
          depends on A

[Test Code 2]

  config A
          bool "a" if B

  config B
          bool "b"
          depends on A

For both cases above, the same message is displayed:

        symbol B depends on A
        symbol A depends on B

This commit changes the message for the latter, like this:

        symbol B depends on A
        symbol A prompt is visible depending on B

Also, 'select' and 'imply' are distinguished.
