Masahiro Yamada 6dd85ff178 kconfig: change "modules" from sub-option to first-level attribute
Now "modules" is the only member of the "option" property.

Remove "option", and move "modules" to the top level property.

Masahiro Yamada b75b0a819a kconfig: change defconfig_list option to environment variable
"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.

This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.

It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.

Alexander A. Klimov 16a122c743 kbuild: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Masahiro Yamada 893ab00439 kbuild: remove cc-option test of -fno-stack-protector
Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.

No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.

GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)

Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.

Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.

Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

Masahiro Yamada 3a9dd3ecb2 kconfig: make 'imply' obey the direct dependency
The 'imply' statement may create unmet direct dependency when the
implied symbol depends on m.

[Test Code]

  config FOO
          tristate "foo"
          imply BAZ

  config BAZ
          tristate "baz"
          depends on BAR

  config BAR
          def_tristate m

  config MODULES
          def_bool y
          option modules

If you set FOO=y, BAZ is also promoted to y, which results in the
following .config file:

  CONFIG_FOO=y
  CONFIG_BAZ=y
  CONFIG_BAR=m
  CONFIG_MODULES=y

This does not meet the dependency 'BAZ depends on BAR'.

Unlike 'select', what is worse, Kconfig never shows the
'WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for ...' for this case.

Because 'imply' is considered to be weaker than 'depends on', Kconfig
should take the direct dependency into account.

For clarification, describe this case in kconfig-language.rst too.

Masahiro Yamada def2fbffe6 kconfig: allow symbols implied by y to become m
The 'imply' keyword restricts a symbol to y or n, excluding m
when it is implied by y. This is the original behavior since
commit 237e3ad0f1 ("Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keyword").

However, the author of this feature, Nicolas Pitre, stated that
the 'imply' keyword should not impose any restrictions.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/19/714)

I agree, and want to get rid of this tricky behavior.

Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over

Kconfig still supports ---help---, but new code should avoid using it.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab cd238effef docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
