Yann E. MORIN 3b9a19e089 kconfig: loop as long as we changed some symbols in randconfig
Because of choice-in-a-choice constructs, it can happen that not all
symbols are assigned a value during randconfig, leading in rare cases
to this situation:

    ---8<--- choice-in-choice.in
    choice
        bool "A/B/C"
    config A
        bool "A"

    config B
        bool "B"
    if B
    choice
        bool "E/F"
    config E
        bool "E"
    config F
        bool "F"
    endchoice
    endif # B

    config C
        bool "C"
    endchoice
    ---8<---

    $ ./scripts/kconfig/conf --randconfig choice-in-choice.in
    [--SNIP--]
    $ ./scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig choice-in-choice.in </dev/null
    [--SNIP--]
    A/B/C
      1. A (A)
    > 2. B (B)
      3. C (C)
    choice[1-3]: 2
      E/F
      > 1. E (E) (NEW)
        2. F (F) (NEW)
      choice[1-2]: aborted!

    Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update
    configuration.

Fix this by looping in randconfig for as long as some symbol gets assigned
a value.

Note: this was spotted with the USB EHCI Debug Device Gadget (USB_G_DBGP),
which uses this choice-in-a-choice construct, and exhibits this problem.
The example above is just a stripped-down minimalist test-case.

Arve Hjønnevåg fbe98bb9ed kconfig: Fix defconfig when one choice menu selects options that another choice menu depends on
The defconfig and Kconfig combination below, which is based on 3.10-rc4
Kconfigs, resulted in several options getting set to "m" instead of "y".

defconfig.choice:
---8<---
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_USB_ZERO=y
---8<---

Kconfig.choice:
---8<---
menuconfig MODULES
	bool "Enable loadable module support"

config CONFIGFS_FS
	tristate "Userspace-driven configuration filesystem"

config OCFS2_FS
        tristate "OCFS2 file system support"
        depends on CONFIGFS_FS
        select CRC32

config USB_LIBCOMPOSITE
	tristate
	select CONFIGFS_FS

choice
	tristate "USB Gadget Drivers"
	default USB_ETH

config USB_ZERO
	tristate "Gadget Zero (DEVELOPMENT)"
	select USB_LIBCOMPOSITE

config USB_ETH
	tristate "Ethernet Gadget (with CDC Ethernet support)"
	select USB_LIBCOMPOSITE

endchoice

config CRC32
        tristate "CRC32/CRC32c functions"
        default y

choice
        prompt "CRC32 implementation"
        depends on CRC32
        default CRC32_SLICEBY8

config CRC32_SLICEBY8
        bool "Slice by 8 bytes"

endchoice
---8<---

$ scripts/kconfig/conf --defconfig=defconfig.choice Kconfig.choice

would result in:

.config:
---8<---
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=m
CONFIG_USB_LIBCOMPOSITE=m
CONFIG_USB_ZERO=m
CONFIG_CRC32=y
CONFIG_CRC32_SLICEBY8=y
---8<---

when the expected result would be:

.config:
---8<---
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=y
CONFIG_USB_LIBCOMPOSITE=y
CONFIG_USB_ZERO=y
CONFIG_CRC32=y
CONFIG_CRC32_SLICEBY8=y

Yann E. MORIN 9a926d4354 kconfig: get CONFIG_ prefix from the environment
Currently, the CONFIG_ prefix is hard-coded in the kconfig frontends
executables. This means that two projects that use kconfig with
different prefixes can not share the same kconfig frontends.

Instead of hard-coding the prefix in the frontends, get it from the
environment, and revert back to hard-coded value if not found.

Yann E. MORIN b341f7882f kconfig: add a function to get the CONFIG_ prefix
Currently, we get the CONFIG_ prefix via the CONFIG_ macro, which means
the CONFIG_ prefix is hard-coded at compile time. This goes against
having a run-time defined CONFIG_ prefix.

Add a function that returns the CONFIG_ prefix to use (but keep the
current hard-coded behavior, to be changed in a later patch).

To avoid touching all the code that uses the CONFIG_ macro, we just
undef it, and define it to be a call to the function.

Arnaud Lacombe 37ae2d5998 kbuild: Fix compiler warning with assertion when calling 'fwrite'
Reinhard Tartler discovered a corner case of calling xfwrite() where the
length of the string is zero.

Arnaud Lacombe suggested to use assertion for the corner case, as
fwrite(3) is currently used:

 1) in comment printers. Empty comment are not allowed.
 2) in a callback passed to expr_print(), where the string printed is
    either NULL OR non-empty.
 3) in the lexer, auto-generated, and unused.

I feel using assertion is a good solution:

 1) It cleanly takes care of the above-mentioned corner case.
 2) It can be easily disabled by defining NDEBUG.
 3) It asserts xfwrite() is simply a wrapper for fwrite().

Sam Ravnborg 7cf3d73b43 kconfig: add savedefconfig
savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file
named "defconfig".

The config symbols are saved in the same order as
they appear in the menu structure so it should
be possible to map them to the relevant menus
if desired.

The implementation was tested against several minimal
configs for arm which was created using brute-force.

There was one regression related to default numbers
which had their valid range further limited by another symbol.

Sample:

config FOO
	int "foo"
	default 4

config BAR
	int "bar"
	range 0 FOO

If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3.
But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4.

This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK,
and the fix was non-trivial.
So it was documented in the code and left as is.

replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).

Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look

currently distributed with the kernel.

Vadim Bendebury (вб) da60fbbcb6 menuconfig: wrap long help lines
Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text
includes the names of all  other options the option in question depends
on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list
without scrolling horizontally.

This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word
boundaries to prevent truncating.

Tested by running

  ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build

which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and

 ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build

to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

Replace all menu_add_prop mimicking menu_add_prompt with the latter func. I've
had to add a return value to menu_add_prompt for one usage.

I've rebuilt scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped by hand to reflect changes
in the source (I've not the same Bison version so regenerating it wouldn't
have been not a good idea), and compared it with what Roman itself did some
time ago, and it's the same.

So I guess this can be finally merged.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 3b9fa0931d [PATCH] Kconfig i18n support
This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.

No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.

Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:

LANG= make menuconfig

is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.

Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:

http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes

To start the translation process:

  make update-po-config

  This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
  copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.

To test your translation, as root issue this command:

  msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po

  Replace "es" with your language code.

  Then execute, for instance:

  make menuconfig

The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.

Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.

I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
