kconfig: lxdialog: fix 'space' to (de)select options

2025-08-28T14:26:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 694174f94ebeeb5ec5cc0e9de9b40c82057e1d95 ] In case a menu has comment without letters/numbers (eg. characters matching the regexp '^[^[:alpha:][:digit:]]+$', for example - or *), hitting space will cycle through those comments, rather than selecting/deselecting the currently-highlighted option. This is the behaviour of hitting any letter/digit: jump to the next option which prompt starts with that letter. The only letters that do not behave as such are 'y' 'm' and 'n'. Prompts that start with one of those three letters are instead matched on the first letter that is not 'y', 'm' or 'n'. Fix that by treating 'space' as we treat y/m/n, ie. as an action key, not as shortcut to jump to prompt. Signed-off-by: Yann E.

kconfig: lxdialog: replace strcpy() with strncpy() in inputbox.c

2025-08-28T14:26:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5ac726653a1029a2eccba93bbe59e01fc9725828 ] strcpy() performs no bounds checking and can lead to buffer overflows if the input string exceeds the destination buffer size. This patch replaces it with strncpy(), and null terminates the input string. Signed-off-by: Suchit Karunakaran Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kconfig: remove trailing whitespaces

2019-05-09T13:37:17+00:00

There are still some trailing whitespaces under scripts/kconfig/tests/, but they must be kept. Otherwise, "make testconfig" would break. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig/[mn]conf: handle backspace (^H) key

2019-03-29T13:48:01+00:00

Backspace is not working on some terminal emulators which do not send the key code defined by terminfo. Terminals either send '^H' (8) or '^?' (127). But currently only '^?' is handled. Let's also handle '^H' for those terminals. Signed-off-by: Changbin Du Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: remove stale lxdialog/.gitignore

2019-03-17T06:47:02+00:00

When this .gitignore was added, lxdialog was an independent hostprogs-y. Now that all objects in lxdialog/ are directly linked to mconf, the lxdialog is no longer generated. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: convert to SPDX License Identifier

2018-12-28T13:22:28+00:00

All files in lxdialog/ are licensed under GPL-2.0+, and the rest are under GPL-2.0. I added GPL-2.0 tags to test scripts in tests/. Documentation/process/license-rules.rst does not suggest anything about the flex/bison files. Because flex does not accept the C++ comment style at the very top of a file, I used the C style for zconf.l, and so for zconf.y for consistency. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: drop localization support

2018-05-28T09:25:21+00:00

The localization support is broken and appears unused. There is no google hits on the update-po-config target. And there is no recent (5 years) activity related to the localization. So lets just drop this as it is no longer used. Suggested-by: Ulf Magnusson Suggested-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: refactor ncurses package checks for building mconf and nconf

2018-05-28T09:25:21+00:00

The mconf (or its infrastructure, lxdiaglog) depends on the ncurses. Move and rename check-lxdialog.sh to mconf-cfg.sh to make it work in the same way as for qconf and gconf. This commit fixes some more weirdnesses. The nconf also needs ncurses packages. HOSTLOADLIBES_nconf is set to the libraries needed for nconf, but the cflags is not explicitly set. Actually, nconf relies on the check-lxdialog.sh for the proper cflags: HOST_EXTRACFLAGS += $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(check-lxdialog) -ccflags) \ -DLOCALE The code above passes the ncurses flags to all objects, even for conf, qconf, gconf. Let's pass the ncurses flags only to mconf and nconf. Currently, the presence of ncurses is not checked for nconf. Let's show a prompt like the mconf case. According to Randy's report, the shell scripts still need to carry the fallback code in case the pkg-config fails to find the ncurses packages.
