kconfig/mconf: Initialize the default locale at startup

2025-12-01T10:43:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3927c4a1084c48ef97f11281a0a43ecb2cb4d6f1 ] Fix bug where make menuconfig doesn't initialize the default locale, which causes ncurses menu borders to be displayed incorrectly (lqqqqk) in UTF-8 terminals that don't support VT100 ACS by default, such as PuTTY.

kbuild: split x*alloc() functions in kconfig to scripts/include/xalloc.h

2024-09-01T11:34:48+00:00

These functions will be useful for other host programs. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: move some helper headers from scripts/kconfig/ to scripts/include/

2024-07-21T14:10:43+00:00

Move array_size.h, hashtable.h, list.h, list_types.h from scripts/kconfig/ to scripts/include/. These headers will be useful for other host programs. Remove scripts/mod/list.h. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: remove sym_get_choice_value()

2024-07-15T16:08:37+00:00

sym_get_choice_value(menu->sym) is equivalent to sym_calc_choice(menu). Convert all call sites of sym_get_choice_value() and then remove it. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: introduce choice_set_value() helper

2024-07-15T16:08:36+00:00

Currently, sym_set_tristate_value() is used to set 'y' to a choice member, which is confusing because it not only sets 'y' to the given symbol but also tweaks flags of other symbols as a side effect. Add a dedicated function for setting the value of the given choice. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: remove tristate choice support

2024-07-15T16:08:36+00:00

I previously submitted a fix for a bug in the choice feature [1], where I mentioned, "Another (much cleaner) approach would be to remove the tristate choice support entirely". There are more issues in the tristate choice feature. For example, you can observe a couple of bugs in the following test code. [Test Code] config MODULES def_bool y modules choice prompt "tristate choice" default A config A tristate "A" config B tristate "B" endchoice Bug 1: the 'default' property is not correctly processed 'make alldefconfig' produces: CONFIG_MODULES=y # CONFIG_A is not set # CONFIG_B is not set However, the correct output should be: CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_A=y # CONFIG_B is not set The unit test file, scripts/kconfig/tests/choice/alldef_expected_config, is wrong as well. Bug 2: choice members never get 'y' with randconfig For the test code above, the following combinations are possible: A B (1) y n (2) n y (3) m m (4) m n (5) n m (6) n n 'make randconfig' never produces (1) or (2). These bugs are fixable, but a more critical problem is the lack of a sensible syntax to specify the default for the tristate choice. The default for the choice must be one of the choice members, which cannot specify any of the patterns (3) through (6) above. In addition, I have never seen it being used in a useful way. The following commits removed unnecessary use of tristate choices: - df8df5e4bc37 ("usb: get rid of 'choice' for legacy gadget drivers") - bfb57ef0544a ("rapidio: remove choice for enumeration") This commit removes the tristate choice support entirely, which allows me to delete a lot of code, making further refactoring easier. Note: This includes the revert of commit fa64e5f6a35e ("kconfig/symbol.c: handle choice_values that depend on 'm' symbols"). It was suspicious because it did not address the root cause but introduced inconsistency in visibility between choice members and other symbols.

kconfig: m/nconf: remove dead code to display value of bool choice

2024-05-14T14:36:19+00:00

Previously, optional bool choices met the following conditions simultaneously: - sym_is_choice(sym) - sym_is_changeable(sym) - type == S_BOOLEAN It no longer occurs since 6a1215888e23 ("kconfig: remove 'optional' property support"). Remove the dead code. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: m/nconf: remove dead code to display children of choice members

2024-05-14T14:36:19+00:00

This code previously displayed child symbols of the selected choice member. Since commit 7e3465f63a0a ("kconfig: do not reparent the menu inside a choice block"), choice members never have child symbols, therefore this is dead code. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
