Commit 7a88488bbc23 ("[PATCH] kconfig: use gperf for kconfig keywords")
introduced gperf for the keyword lookup.
Then, commit bb3290d91695 ("Remove gperf usage from toolchain") killed
the gperf use. As a result, the linear keyword search was left behind.
If we do not use gperf, there is no reason to have the separate table
of the keywords. Move all keywords back to the lexer.
I also refactored the lexer to remove the COMMAND and PARAM states.

There is no grammatical ambiguity by using T_WORD for variables.

Currently, the lexer returns T_ASSIGN for all of =, :=, and +=
associating yylval with the flavor.
I want to make the generated lexer as simple as possible. So, the
lexer should convert keywords to tokens without thinking about the
meaning.
= -> T_EQUAL
:= -> T_COLON_EQUAL
+= -> T_PLUS_EQUAL
Unfortunately, Kconfig uses = instead of == for the equal operator.
So, the same token T_EQUAL is used for assignment and comparison.
The parser can still distinguish them from the context.

Currently, "visible" and "depends on", if defined in a menu entry,
must appear in that order.
The real example is in drivers/media/tuners/Kconfig:
menu "Customize TV tuners"
visible if <expr1>
depends on <expr2>
... is fine, but you cannot change the property order like this:
menu "Customize TV tuners"
depends on <expr2>
visible if <expr1>
Kconfig does not require a specific order of properties. In this case,
menu_add_visibility(() and menu_add_dep() are orthogonal.
Loosen this unreasonable restriction.

This commit decreases 6 shift/reduce conflicts, and finally achieves
conflict-free parser.
Since Kconfig has no terminator for a config block, detecting the end
of config_stmt is not easy.
For example, there are two ways for handling the error in the following
code:
1 config FOO
2 =
[A] Print "unknown option" error, assuming the line 2 is a part of
config_option_list
[B] Print "invalid statement", assuming the line 1 is reduced into
a config_stmt by itself
Bison actually chooses [A] because it performs the shift rather than
the reduction where both are possible.
However, there is no reason to choose one over the other.
Let's remove the option_error, and let it fall back to [B].

This commit decreases 15 shift/reduce conflicts.
The location of this error recovery is ambiguous.
For example, there are two ways to interpret the following code:
1 config FOO
2 bool "foo"
[A] Both lines are reduced together into a config_stmt.
[B] The only line 1 is reduced into a config_stmt, and the line 2
matches to "option_name error T_EOL"
Of course, we expect [A], but [B] could be grammatically possible.
Kconfig has no terminator for a config block. So, we cannot detect its
end until we see a non-property keyword. People often insert a blank
line between two config blocks, but it is just a coding convention.
Blank lines are actually allowed anywhere in Kconfig files.
The real error is when a property keyword appears right after "endif",
"endchoice", "endmenu", "source", "comment", or variable assignment.
Instead of fixing the grammatical ambiguity, I chose to simply remove
this error recovery.
The difference is
unexpected option "bool"
... is turned into a more generic message:
invalid statement

It would be nice to warn if a new line is missing at end of file.
We could do this by checkpatch.pl for arbitrary files, but new line
is rather essential as a statement terminator in Kconfig.
The warning message looks like this:
kernel/Kconfig.preempt:60:warning: no new line at end of file
Currently, kernel/Kconfig.preempt is the only file with no new line
at end of file. Fix it.
I know there are some false negative cases. For example, no warning
is displayed when the last line contains some whitespaces/comments,
but no new line. Yet, this commit works well for most cases.

This commit decreases 8 shift/reduce conflicts.
A certain amount of grammatical ambiguity comes from how to reduce
excessive T_EOL tokens.
Let's take a look at the example code below:
1 config A
2 bool "a"
3
4 depends on B
5
6 config B
7 def_bool y
The line 3 is melt into "config_option_list", but the line 5 can be
either a part of "config_option_list" or "common_stmt" by itself.
Currently, the lexer converts '\n' to T_EOL verbatim. In Kconfig,
a new line works as a statement terminator, but new lines in empty
lines are not critical since empty lines (or lines that contain only
whitespaces/comments) are just no-op.
If the lexer simply discards no-op lines, the parser will not be
bothered by excessive T_EOL tokens.
Of course, this means we are shifting the complexity from the parser
to the lexer, but it is much easier than tackling on shift/reduce
conflicts.
I introduced the second stage lexer to tweak the behavior.
Discard T_EOL if the previous token is T_EOL or T_HELPTEXT.
Two T_EOL tokens in a row is meaningless. T_HELPTEXT is a special
token that is reduced without T_EOL.

Here, similar matching patters are duplicated in order to look ahead
the '\n' character. If the next character is '\n', the lexer returns
T_WORD_QUOTE because it must be prepared to return T_EOL at the next
match.

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.

Currently, warn_ignore_character() displays invalid file name and
line number.
The lexer should use current_file->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().

The only possibility of k_invalid being returned was when

The S_OTHER type could be set only when conf_read_simple() is reading
include/config/auto.conf file.
For example, CONFIG_FOO=y exists in include/config/auto.conf but it is
missing from the currently parsed Kconfig files, sym_lookup() allocates
a new symbol, and sets its type to S_OTHER.
Strangely, it will be set to S_STRING by conf_set_sym_val() a few lines
below while it is obviously bool or tristate type. On the other hand,
when CONFIG_BAR="bar" is being dropped from include/config/auto.conf,
its type remains S_OTHER. Because for_all_symbols() omits S_OTHER
symbols, conf_touch_deps() misses to touch include/config/bar.h
This behavior has been a pretty mystery for me, and digging the git
histroy did not help. At least, touching depfiles is broken for string
type symbols.
I removed S_OTHER entirely, and reimplemented it more simply.
If CONFIG_FOO was visible in the previous syncconfig, but is missing
now, what we want to do is quite simple; just call conf_touch_dep()
to touch include/config/foo.h instead of allocating a new symbol data.

In today's merge_config.sh the order of the config fragment files dictates
the output of a config option. With this approach we will get different
.config files depending on the order of the config fragment files.
So doing something like:
$ ./merge/kconfig/merge_config.sh selftest.config drm.config
Where selftest.config defines DRM=y and drm.config defines DRM=m, the
result will be "DRM=m".
Rework to add a switch to get builtin '=y' precedence over modules '=m',
this will result in "DRM=y". If we do something like this:
$ ./merge/kconfig/merge_config.sh -y selftest.config drm.config

This commit improves the messages of the recursive dependency.
Currently, sym->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

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->rev_dep.expr but also sym->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.

Currently, only syncconfig creates or updates include/config/auto.conf
and some other files. Other config targets create or update only the
.config file.
When you configure and build the kernel from a pristine source tree,
any config target is followed by syncconfig in the build stage since
include/config/auto.conf is missing.
We are moving compiler tests from Makefile to Kconfig. It means that
parsing Kconfig files will be more costly since Kconfig invokes the
compiler commands internally. Thus, we want to avoid invoking Kconfig
twice (one for *config to create the .config, and one for syncconfig
to synchronize the auto.conf). If auto.conf does not exist, we can
generate all configuration files in the first configuration stage,
which will save the syncconfig in the build stage.
Please note this should be done only when auto.conf is missing. If
*config blindly did this, time stamp files under include/config/ would
be unnecessarily touched, triggering unneeded rebuild of objects.
I assume a scenario like this:
1. You have a source tree that has already been built
with CONFIG_FOO disabled
2. Run "make menuconfig" to enable CONFIG_FOO
3. CONFIG_FOO turns out to be unnecessary.
Run "make menuconfig" again to disable CONFIG_FOO
4. Run "make"
In this case, include/config/foo.h should not be touched since there
is no change in CONFIG_FOO. The sync process should be delayed until
the user really attempts to build the kernel.
This commit has another motivation; I want to suppress the 'No such
file or directory' warning from the 'include' directive.
The top-level Makefile includes auto.conf with '-include' directive,
like this:
ifeq ($(dot-config),1)
-include include/config/auto.conf
endif
This looks strange because auto.conf is mandatory when dot-config is 1.
I guess only the reason of using '-include' is to suppress the warning
'include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory' when building
from a clean tree. However, this has a side-effect; Make considers
the files included by '-include' are optional. Hence, Make continues
to build even if it fails to generate include/config/auto.conf. I will
change this in the next commit, but the warning message is annoying.
(At least, kbuild test robot reports it as a regression.)
With this commit, Kconfig will generate all configuration files together
with the .config and I guess it is a solution good enough to suppress
the warning.
Note:
GNU Make 4.2 or later does not display the warning from the 'include'
directive if include files are successfully generated. See GNU Make
commit 87a5f98d248f ("[SV 102] Don't show unnecessary include file
errors.") However, older GNU Make versions are still widely used.

syncconfig updates the .config only when sym_change_count > 0, i.e.
any change in config symbols has been detected.
Not only symbols but also comments are contained in the .config file.
If only comments are updated, they are not fed back to the .config,
then the stale comments are left-over. Of course, this is just a
matter of comments, but why not fix it.
I see some scenarios where this happens.
Scenario A:
1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.
2. Linus increments the version number in the top-level Makefile
(i.e. he commits a new release)
3. You pull it, and run 'make'
4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
KERNELVERSION is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.
5. The .config file contains a kernel version in the top line:
# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Linux/arm64 4.18.0-rc2 Kernel Configuration
... which points to a previous version.
Scenario B:
1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.
2. You upgrade the compiler, but it still has the same version number.
This may happen if you regularly build the latest compiler from
the source code.
3. You run 'make'
4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
CC_VERSION_TEXT is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.
5. The .config file contains the version string of the compiler:
#
# Compiler: aarch64-linux-gcc (GCC) 9.0.0 20180628 (experimental)
#
... which carries the information of the old compiler.
If KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is set, syncconfig is not allowed to update
the .config file. Otherwise, it is fine to update it regardless of
sym_change_count.

'make syncconfig' creates some files such as include/config/auto.conf,
include/generate/autoconf.h, etc. but the necessary directory creation
relies on scripts/kconfig/Makefile.
To make Kconfig self-contained, create directories as needed in
conf_write_autoconf().
This change allows scripts/kconfig/Makefile cleanups; syncconfig can
be merged into simple-targets.
