2018-04-13kconfig: extend output of 'listnewconfig'Don Zickus
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 Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2018-04-07kbuild: add %.lex.c and %.tab.[ch] to 'targets' automaticallyMasahiro Yamada
Files generated by if_changed* must be added to 'targets' to include *.cmd files. Otherwise, they would be regenerated every time. The build system automatically adds objects to 'targets' where appropriate, such as obj-y, extra-y, etc. but does nothing for intermediate files. So, each Makefile needs to add them by itself. There are some common cases where objects are generated by chained rules. Lexers and parsers are compiled like follows: %.lex.o <- %.lex.c <- %.l %.tab.o <- %.tab.c <- %.y They are common patterns, so it is reasonable to take care of them in the core Makefile instead of requiring each Makefile to do so. At this moment, you cannot delete 'target += zconf.lex.c' in the Kconfig Makefile because zconf.lex.c is included from zconf.tab.c instead of being compiled separately. It should be deleted after Kconfig is more refactored. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Acked-by: Frank Rowand <frowand.list@gmail.com>

2018-03-26kconfig: use yylineno option instead of manual lineno incrementsMasahiro Yamada
Tracking the line number by hand is error-prone since you need to increment it in every \n matching pattern. If '%option yylineno' is set, flex defines 'yylineno' to contain the current line number and automatically updates it each time it reads a \n character. This is much more convenient although the lexer does not initializes yylineno, so you need to set it to 1 each time you start reading a new file, and restore it you go back to the previous file. I tested this with DEBUG_PARSE, and confirmed the same dump message was produced. I removed the perf-report option. Otherwise, I see the following message: %option yylineno entails a performance penalty ONLY on rules that can match newline characters Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2018-03-26kconfig: detect recursive inclusion earlierMasahiro Yamada
Currently, the recursive inclusion is not detected when the offending file is about to be included; it is detected the offending file is about to include the *next* file. This is because the detection loop does not involve the file being included.

2018-03-26kconfig: make unmet dependency warnings readableMasahiro Yamada
Currently, the unmet dependency warnings end up with endlessly long expressions, most of which are false positives. Here is test code to demonstrate how it currently works. [Test Case] config DEP1 def_bool y config DEP2 bool "DEP2" config A bool "A" select E config B bool "B" depends on DEP2 select E config C bool "C" depends on DEP1 && DEP2 select E config D def_bool n select E config E bool depends on DEP1 && DEP2 [Result] $ make config scripts/kconfig/conf --oldaskconfig Kconfig * * Linux Kernel Configuration * DEP2 (DEP2) [N/y/?] (NEW) n A (A) [N/y/?] (NEW) y warning: (A && B && D) selects E which has unmet direct dependencies (DEP1 && DEP2) Here, I see some points to be improved. First, '(A || B || D)' would make more sense than '(A && B && D)'. I am not sure if this is intentional, but expr_simplify_unmet_dep() turns OR expressions into AND, like follows: case E_OR: return expr_alloc_and( Second, we see false positives. 'A' is a real unmet dependency. 'B' is false positive because 'DEP1' is fixed to 'y', and 'B' depends on 'DEP2'. 'C' was correctly dropped by expr_simplify_unmet_dep(). 'D' is also false positive because it has no chance to be enabled. Current expr_simplify_unmet_dep() cannot avoid those false positives. After all, I decided to use the same helpers as used for printing reverse dependencies in the help.

Commit 246cf9c26bf1 ("kbuild: Warn on selecting symbols with unmet direct dependencies") forcibly promoted ->dir_dep.tri to yes from mod. So, the unmet direct dependencies of tristate symbols are not reported. [Test Case] config MODULES def_bool y option modules config A def_bool y select B config B tristate "B" depends on m This causes unmet dependency because 'B' is forced 'y' ignoring 'depends on m'. This should be warned. On the other hand, the following case ('B' is bool) should not be warned, so 'depends on m' for bool symbols should be naturally treated as 'depends on y'.

Commit 3b9a19e08960 ("kconfig: loop as long as we changed some symbols in randconfig") fixed randconfig where a choice contains a sub-choice. Prior to that commit, the sub-choice values were not set. I am not sure whether this is an intended feature or just something people discovered works, but it is used in the real world; drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is source'd in a choice context, then creates a sub-choice in it. For the test case in this commit, there are 3 possible results. Case 1: CONFIG_A=y # CONFIG_B is not set Case 2: # CONFIG_A is not set CONFIG_B=y CONFIG_C=y # CONFIG_D is not set Case 3: # CONFIG_A is not set CONFIG_B=y # CONFIG_C is not set CONFIG_D=y CONFIG_E=y So, this test iterates several times, and checks if the result is either of the three.

2018-03-26kconfig: tests: test defconfig when two choices interactMasahiro Yamada
Commit fbe98bb9ed3d ("kconfig: Fix defconfig when one choice menu selects options that another choice menu depends on") fixed defconfig when two choices interact (i.e. calculating the visibility of a choice requires to calculate another choice). The test code in that commit log was based on the real world example, and complicated. So, I shrunk it down to the following: defconfig.choice: ---8<--- CONFIG_CHOICE_VAL0=y ---8<--- ---8<--- config MODULES def_bool y option modules choice prompt "Choice" config CHOICE_VAL0 tristate "Choice 0" config CHOICE_VAL1 tristate "Choice 1" endchoice choice prompt "Another choice" depends on CHOICE_VAL0 config DUMMY bool "dummy" endchoice ---8<--- Prior to commit fbe98bb9ed3d, $ scripts/kconfig/conf --defconfig=defconfig.choice Kconfig.choice resulted in: CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_CHOICE_VAL0=m # CONFIG_CHOICE_VAL1 is not set CONFIG_DUMMY=y where the expected result would be: CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_CHOICE_VAL0=y # CONFIG_CHOICE_VAL1 is not set CONFIG_DUMMY=y Roughly, this weird behavior happened like this: Symbols are calculated a couple of times. First, all symbols are calculated in conf_read(). The first 'choice' is evaluated to 'y' due to the SYMBOL_DEF_USER flag, but sym_calc_choice() clears it unless all of its choice values are explicitly set by the user. conf_set_all_new_symbols() clears all SYMBOL_VALID flags. Then, only choices are calculated. Here, the SYMBOL_DEF_USER for the first choice has been forgotten, so it is evaluated to 'm'. set_all_choice_values() sets SYMBOL_DEF_USER again to choice symbols. When calculating the second choice, due to 'depends on CHOICE_VAL0', it triggers the calculation of CHOICE_VAL0. As a result, SYMBOL_VALID is set for CHOICE_VAL0. Symbols except choices get the final chance of re-calculation in conf_write(). In a normal case, CHOICE_VAL0 would be re-calculated, then the first choice would be indirectly re-calculated with the SYMBOL_DEF_USER which has been recalled by set_all_choice_values(), which would be evaluated to 'y'. But, in this case, CHOICE_VAL0 has already been marked as SYMBOL_VALID, so this re-calculation does not happen. Then, =m from the conf_set_all_new_symbols() phase is written out to the .config file. Add a unit test for this naive case. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer@gmail.com>

2018-03-26kconfig: tests: add framework for Kconfig unit testingMasahiro Yamada
Many parts in Kconfig are so cryptic and need refactoring. However, its complexity prevents us from moving forward. There are several naive corner cases where it is difficult to notice breakage. If those are covered by unit tests, we will be able to touch the code with more confidence. Here is a simple test framework based on pytest. The conftest.py provides a fixture useful to run commands such as 'oldaskconfig' etc. and to compare the resulted .config, stdout, stderr with expectations. How to add test cases? ---------------------- For each test case, you should create a subdirectory under scripts/kconfig/tests/ (so test cases are separated from each other). Every test case directory should contain the following files: - __init__.py: describes test functions - Kconfig: the top level Kconfig file for the test To do a useful job, test cases generally need additional data like input .config and information about expected results. How to run tests? ----------------- You need python3 and pytest. Then, run "make testconfig". O= option is supported. If V=1 is given, detailed logs captured during tests are displayed.

2018-03-26kconfig: hide irrelevant sub-menus for oldconfigMasahiro Yamada
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].

2018-03-26kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' for visible symbolsUlf Magnusson
=== Background === - Visible n-valued bool/tristate symbols generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line in the .config file. The idea is to remember the user selection without having to set a Makefile variable. Having n correspond to the variable being undefined in the Makefiles makes for easy CONFIG_* tests. - Invisible n-valued bool/tristate symbols normally do not generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line, because user values from .config files have no effect on invisible symbols anyway. Currently, there is one exception to this rule: Any bool/tristate symbol that gets the value n through a 'default' property generates a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line, even if the symbol is invisible. Note that this only applies to explicitly given defaults, and not when the symbol implicitly defaults to n (like bool/tristate symbols without 'default' properties do). This is inconsistent, and seems redundant: - As mentioned, the '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' won't affect the symbol once the .config is read back in. - Even if the symbol is invisible at first but becomes visible later, there shouldn't be any harm in recalculating the default value rather than viewing the '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' as a previous user value of n. === Changes === Change sym_calc_value() to only set SYMBOL_WRITE (write to .config) for non-n-valued 'default' properties. Note that SYMBOL_WRITE is always set for visible symbols regardless of whether they have 'default' properties or not, so this change only affects invisible symbols. This reduces the size of the x86 .config on my system by about 1% (due to removed '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' entries). One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making the following two definitions behave exactly the same: config FOO bool config FOO bool default n With this change, neither of these will generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied). That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is redundant. This change only affects generated .config files and not autoconf.h: autoconf.h only includes #defines for non-n bool/tristate symbols. === Testing === The following testing was done with the x86 Kconfigs: - .config files generated before and after the change were compared to verify that the only difference is some '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' entries disappearing. A couple of these were inspected manually, and most turned out to be from redundant 'default n/def_bool n' properties. - The generated include/generated/autoconf.h was compared before and after the change and verified to be identical. - As a sanity check, the same modification was done to Kconfiglib. The Kconfiglib test suite was then run to check for any mismatches against the output of the C implementation.

2018-03-26kconfig: Print reverse dependencies in groupsEugeniu Rosca
Surprisingly or not, disabling a CONFIG option (which is assumed to be unneeded) may be not so trivial. Especially it is not trivial, when this CONFIG option is selected by a dozen of other configs. Before the moment commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable") popped up in v4.16-rc1, it was an absolute pain to break down the "Selected by" reverse dependency expression in order to identify all those configs which select (IOW *do not allow disabling*) a certain feature (assumed to be not needed). This patch tries to make one step further by putting at users' fingertips the revdep top level OR sub-expressions grouped/clustered by the tristate value they evaluate to. This should allow the users to directly concentrate on and tackle the _active_ reverse dependencies. To give some numbers and quantify the complexity of certain reverse dependencies, assuming commit 617aebe6a97e ("Merge tag 'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64 and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with the highest amount of top level "||" sub-expressions/tokens that make up the final "Selected by" reverse dependency expression. | Config | All revdep | Active revdep | |-------------------|------------|---------------| | REGMAP_I2C | 212 | 9 | | CRC32 | 167 | 25 | | FW_LOADER | 128 | 5 | | MFD_CORE | 124 | 9 | | FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT | 114 | 2 | | FB_CFB_COPYAREA | 111 | 2 | | FB_CFB_FILLRECT | 110 | 2 | | SND_PCM | 103 | 2 | | CRYPTO_HASH | 87 | 19 | | WATCHDOG_CORE | 86 | 6 | The story behind the above is that users need to visually review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C, for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used. To make this experience smoother, change the way reverse dependencies are displayed to the user from [1] to [2].

2018-03-26kconfig: clean-up reverse dependency help implementationMasahiro Yamada
This commit splits out the special E_OR handling ('-' instead of '||') into a dedicated helper expr_print_revdev(). Restore the original expr_print() prior to commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable"). This makes sense because: - We need to chop those expressions only when printing the reverse dependency, and only when E_OR is encountered - Otherwise, it should be printed as before, so fall back to expr_print() This also improves the behavior; for a single line, it was previously displayed in the same line as "Selected by", like this: Selected by: A [=n] && B [=n] This will be displayed in a new line, consistently: Selected by: - A [=n] && B [=n] Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>
2018-03-26kbuild: restore autoksyms.h touch to the top MakefileMasahiro Yamada
Commit d3fc425e819b ("kbuild: make sure autoksyms.h exists early") moved the code that touches autoksyms.h to scripts/kconfig/Makefile with obscure reason. From Nicolas' comment [1], he did not seem to be sure about the root cause. I guess I figured it out, so here is a fix-up I think is more correct. According to the error log in the original post [2], the build failed in scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c scripts/mod/Makefile is descended from scripts/Makefile, which is invoked from the top-level Makefile by the 'scripts' target. To build vmlinux and/or modules, Kbuild descend into $(vmlinux-dirs). This depends on 'prepare' and 'scripts' as follows: $(vmlinux-dirs): prepare scripts Because there is no dependency between 'prepare' and 'scripts', the parallel building can execute them simultaneously. 'prepare' depends on 'prepare1', which touched autoksyms.h, while 'scripts' descends into script/, then scripts/mod/, which needs <generated/autoksyms.h> if CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS. It was the reason of the race. I am not happy to have unrelated code in the Kconfig Makefile, so getting it back to the top Makefile. I removed the standalone test target because I want to use it to create an empty autoksyms.h file. Here is a little improvement; unnecessary autoksyms.h is not created when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is disabled.

2018-03-02kconfig: set SYMBOL_AUTO to the symbol marked with defconfig_listMasahiro Yamada
The 'defconfig_list' is a weird attribute. If the '.config' is missing, conf_read_simple() iterates over all visible defaults, then it uses the first one for which fopen() succeeds. config DEFCONFIG_LIST string depends on !UML option defconfig_list default "/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config" default "/etc/kernel-config" default "/boot/config-$UNAME_RELEASE" default "$ARCH_DEFCONFIG" default "arch/$ARCH/defconfig" However, like other symbols, the first visible default is always written out to the .config file. This might be different from what has been actually used. For example, on my machine, the third one "/boot/config-$UNAME_RELEASE" is opened, like follows: $ rm .config $ make oldconfig 2>/dev/null scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig # # using defaults found in /boot/config-4.4.0-112-generic # * * Restart config... * * * IRQ subsystem * Expose irq internals in debugfs (GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS) [N/y/?] (NEW) However, the resulted .config file contains the first one since it is visible: $ grep CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST .config CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config" In order to stop confusing people, prevent this CONFIG option from being written to the .config file.

Reverse dependency expressions can get rather unwieldy, especially if a symbol is selected by more than a handful of other symbols. I.e. it's possible to have near endless expressions like: A && B && !C || D || F && (G || H) || [...] Chop these expressions into actually readable chunks: - A && B && !C - D - F && (G || H) - [...] I.e. transform the top level OR tokens into newlines and prepend each line with a minus. This makes the "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" blurb much easier to read. This is done only if there is more than one top level OR. "Depends on:" and "Range :" were deliberately left as they are.
