kconfig: nconf: stop endless search loops

2021-05-19T08:08:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8c94b430b9f6213dec84e309bb480a71778c4213 ] If the user selects the very first entry in a page and performs a search-up operation, or selects the very last entry in a page and performs a search-down operation that will not succeed (e.g., via [/]asdfzzz[Up Arrow]), nconf will never terminate searching the page. The reason is that in this case, the starting point will be set to -1 or n, which is then translated into (n - 1) (i.e., the last entry of the page) or 0 (i.e., the first entry of the page) and finally the search begins. This continues to work fine until the index reaches 0 or (n - 1), at which point it will be decremented to -1 or incremented to n, but not checked against the starting point right away. Instead, it's wrapped around to the bottom or top again, after which the starting point check occurs... and naturally fails. My original implementation added another check for -1 before wrapping the running index variable around, but Masahiro Yamada pointed out that the actual issue is that the comparison point (starting point) exceeds bounds (i.e., the [0,n-1] interval) in the first place and that, instead, the starting point should be fixed. This has the welcome side-effect of also fixing the case where the starting point was n while searching down, which also lead to an infinite loop. OTOH, this code is now essentially all his work. Amazingly, nobody seems to have been hit by this for 11 years - or at the very least nobody bothered to debug and fix this.

kconfig: make parent directories for the saved .config as needed

2019-05-10T17:16:21+00:00

With menuconfig / nconfig, users can input any file path from the "Save" menu, but it fails if the parent directory does not exist. Why not create the parent directory automatically. I think this is a user-friendly behavior. I changed the error messages in menuconfig / nconfig. "Nonexistent directory" is no longer the most likely reason of the failure. Perhaps, the user specified the existing directory, or attempted to write to the location without write permission. 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: 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: allow all config targets to write auto.conf if missing

2018-07-25T14:25:30+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: handle format string before calling conf_message_callback()

2018-07-25T14:24:35+00:00

As you see in mconf.c and nconf.c, conf_message_callback() hooks are likely to end up with the boilerplate of vsnprintf(). Process the string format before calling conf_message_callback() so that it receives a simple string. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Dirk Gouders

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
