menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have prompts

2010-04-14T13:34:19+00:00

Usage: Press to show all config symbols which have prompts. Quote Tim Bird: | I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often | use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost | always go through a sequence of searching for the | function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's | completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. | | Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be | unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm | not a Kconfig guru... I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press to see if there is any config hidden. I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options", but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be changed by users. Exmaple: --- Tracers -*- Kernel Function Tracer - - Kernel Function Graph Tracer [*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer - - Preemption-off Latency Tracer [*] Sysprof Tracer Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find out how to make them selectable.

kconfig: new configuration interface (nconfig)

2010-02-02T13:33:55+00:00

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg). Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel, form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is currently distributed with the kernel. Signed-off-by: Nir Tzachar Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

menuconfig: wrap long help lines

2010-02-02T13:33:55+00:00

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.

kconfig: initialize the screen before using curses(3) functions

2009-07-17T21:06:08+00:00

This is needed on non ncurses based implementation to get a properly initialized `stdscr' in main(). Cc: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: handle comment entries within choice/endchoice

2009-06-09T20:37:34+00:00

Implement support for comment entries within choice groups. Comment entries are displayed visually distinct from normal configs, and selecting them is a no-op. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard Cc: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: mark config as changed when loading an alternate config

2008-02-03T07:58:07+00:00

Michal Zachar reported that menuconfig did not save the new config when loading an alternate config unless he altered it manually. Mark config as changed upon load of alternate config fixed this. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Roman Zippel
