<title>kconfig: report recursive dependency involving 'imply'</title>
<updated>2018-08-22T14:21:39+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=5e8c5299d31519e0327be1020f309fa62dc53036'/>
<id>5e8c5299d31519e0327be1020f309fa62dc53036</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, Kconfig does not complain about the recursive dependency
where 'imply' keywords are involved.

[Test Code]

  config A
          bool "a"

  config B
          bool "b"
          imply A
          depends on A

In the code above, Kconfig cannot calculate the symbol values correctly
due to the circular dependency.  For example, allyesconfig followed by
syncconfig results in an odd behavior because CONFIG_B becomes visible
in syncconfig.

  $ make allyesconfig
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --allyesconfig Kconfig
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #
  $ cat .config
  #
  # Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
  # Main menu
  #
  CONFIG_A=y
  $ make syncconfig
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
  *
  * Restart config...
  *
  *
  * Main menu
  *
  a (A) [Y/n/?] y
    b (B) [N/y/?] (NEW)

To detect this correctly, sym_check_expr_deps() should recurse to
not only sym-&gt;rev_dep.expr but also sym-&gt;implied.expr .

At this moment, sym_check_print_recursive() cannot distinguish
'select' and 'imply' since it does not know the precise context
where the recursive dependency has been hit.  This will be solved
by the next commit.

In fact, even the document and the unit-test are confused.  Using
'imply' does not solve recursive dependency since 'imply' addresses
the unmet direct dependency, which 'select' could cause.

<title>kbuild: if_changed: document single use per target limitation</title>

Users of if_changed could easily feel invited to use it to divide a
recipe into parts like:

a: prereq FORCE
	$(call if_changed,do_a)
	$(call if_changed,do_b)

But this is problematic, because if_changed should not be used more
than once per target: in the above example, if_changed stores the
command-line of the given command in .a.cmd and when a is up-to-date
with respect to prereq, the file .a.cmd contains the command-line for
the last command executed, i.e. do_b.

When the recipe is then executed again, without any change of
prerequisites, the command-line check for do_a will fail, do_a will be
executed and stored in .a.cmd.  The next check, however, will still see
the old content (the file isn't re-read) and if_changed will skip
do_b, because the command-line test will not recognize a change.  On
the next execution of the recipe the roles will flip: do_a is OK but
do_b not and it will be executed.  And so on...

Removed Kbuild documentation for INSTALL_FW_PATH.

The kbuild symbol INSTALL_FW_PATH was removed from Kbuild tools in
September 2017 (for 4.14) but the symbol was not deleted from
