<content type='text'>
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 &amp;&amp; DEP2
          select E

  config D
          def_bool n
          select E

  config E
          bool
          depends on DEP1 &amp;&amp; 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 &amp;&amp; B &amp;&amp; D) selects E which has unmet direct
  dependencies (DEP1 &amp;&amp; DEP2)

Here, I see some points to be improved.

First, '(A || B || D)' would make more sense than '(A &amp;&amp; B &amp;&amp; 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.

With this commit, unreadable warnings (most of the reported symbols are
false positives) in the real world:

<title>kconfig: warn unmet direct dependency of tristate symbols selected by y</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f622f8279581626170154d77d67e67bcb227ca2f</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 246cf9c26bf1 ("kbuild: Warn on selecting symbols with unmet
direct dependencies") forcibly promoted -&gt;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'.

[Test Case2 (not unmet dependency)]

  config MODULES
          def_bool y
          option modules

  config A
          def_bool y
          select B

  config B
          bool "B"
          depends on m

<title>kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' for visible symbols</title>
<updated>2018-03-25T17:03:58+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Ulf Magnusson</name>
<email>ulfalizer@gmail.com</email>
</author>
<published>2018-02-23T11:49:01+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/BMC/Intel-BMC/linux.git/commit/?id=f467c5640c29ad258c3cd8186a776c82fc3b8057'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f467c5640c29ad258c3cd8186a776c82fc3b8057</id>
<content type='text'>
=== 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.

This function returns realloc'ed memory, so the returned pointer
must be passed to free() when done.  So, 'const' qualifier is odd.
It is allowed to modify the expanded string.

<title>kconfig: do not write choice values when their dependency becomes n</title>

"# CONFIG_... is not set" for choice values are wrongly written into
the .config file if they are once visible, then become invisible later.

  Test case
  ---------

---------------------------(Kconfig)----------------------------
config A
	bool "A"

choice
	prompt "Choice ?"
	depends on A

config CHOICE_B
	bool "Choice B"

config CHOICE_C
	bool "Choice C"

endchoice
----------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------(.config)----------------------------
CONFIG_A=y
----------------------------------------------------------------

With the Kconfig and .config above,

  $ make config
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --oldaskconfig Kconfig
  *
  * Linux Kernel Configuration
  *
  A (A) [Y/n] n
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #
  $ cat .config
  #
  # Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
  # Linux Kernel Configuration
  #
  # CONFIG_A is not set
  # CONFIG_CHOICE_B is not set
  # CONFIG_CHOICE_C is not set

Here,

  # CONFIG_CHOICE_B is not set
  # CONFIG_CHOICE_C is not set

should not be written into the .config file because their dependency
"depends on A" is unmet.

Currently, there is no code that clears SYMBOL_WRITE of choice values.

Clear SYMBOL_WRITE for all symbols in sym_calc_value(), then set it
again after calculating visibility.  To simplify the logic, set the
flag if they have non-n visibility, regardless of types, and regardless
of whether they are choice values or not.

The 'source_stmt' nonterminal takes a 'prompt', which consists of either
a T_WORD or a T_WORD_QUOTE, both of which are always allocated on the
heap in zconf.l and need to have their associated strings freed. Free
them.

The existing code already makes sure to always copy the string, but add
a warning to sym_expand_string_value() to make it clear that the string
must be copied, just in case.
