2010-08-06kconfig: fix make oldconfigSam Ravnborg1-1/+1
Linus wrote: This seems to make "make oldconfig" a _lot_ more verbose than it used to be. In a very annoying way. I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4c030 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but actively breaks them. The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident. Fix this so we are back to the version that are silent if there is nothing to ask about.

2010-08-03kconfig: add savedefconfigSam Ravnborg1-0/+14
savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file named "defconfig". The config symbols are saved in the same order as they appear in the menu structure so it should be possible to map them to the relevant menus if desired. The implementation was tested against several minimal configs for arm which was created using brute-force. There was one regression related to default numbers which had their valid range further limited by another symbol. Sample: config FOO int "foo" default 4 config BAR int "bar" range 0 FOO If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3. But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4. This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK, and the fix was non-trivial. So it was documented in the code and left as is.

Rename to a name that better match the other kconfig targets. listnewconfig shall read as: - list new options compared to current configuration New options are now written to stdout so one can redirect the output. Do not exit with an error code if there is new options.

2010-08-03kconfig: use long options in confSam Ravnborg1-86/+75
The list of options supported by conf is growing and their abbreviation did not resemble anything usefull. So drop the single letter options in favour of long options. The long options are named equal to what we know from the make target. The internal implmentation was changed to match this, resulting in much more readable code. Support for short options is dropped - no one is supposed to call this program direct anyway. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

This patch has been around for a long time in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels and it may be useful for others. The nonint_oldconfig target will fail and print the unset config options while loose_nonint_oldconfig will simply let the config option unset. They're useful in distro kernel packages where the config files are built using a combination of smaller config files.

2009-03-15kconfig: improve seed in randconfigIngo Molnar1-1/+15
'make randconfig' uses glibc's rand function, and the seed of that PRNG is set via: srand(time(NULL)); But 'time()' only increases once every second - freezing the randconfig result within a single second. My Nehalem testbox does randconfig much faster than 1 second and i have a few scripts that do 'randconfig until condition X' loops. Those scripts currently waste a lot of CPU time due to randconfig changing its seed only once per second currently. Change the seed to be micrseconds based. (I checked the statistical spread of the seed - the now.tv_sec*now.tv_usec multiplication there further improves it.)

Previously when running "make oldconfig" we saw all the propmt lines from kconfig and noone actully read this. With this patch the user will only see output if there is new symbols. This will be seen as "make oldconfig" runs which does not generate any output. A typical run now looks like this: $ make oldconfig scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig $ If a new symbol is found then we restart the config process like this: $ make oldconfig scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig * * Restart config... * * * General setup * Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?] y Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] ...

2008-01-28kconfig: use getopt() in conf.c for handling command line argumentsAndres Salomon1-13/+11
Switch from doing our own parsing of command line arguments to using getopt(3) to do it. Aside from simplifying things, this allows us to specify multiple arguments; the old code could only accept two arguments (input_mode and kconfig name). Note some subtle changes: - The argument '-?' is no longer supported. - '-h' is not treated as an error, so output goes to stdout, and we exit with '0'. - There is no compatibility checking amongst arguments; the last option will simply override earlier options. For example, 'conf -n -y foo' is perfectly valid now (input_mode will be set_yes). Previously, that would have been an error ("can't find file -y").

2007-11-17x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.configSam Ravnborg1-1/+0
Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in all.config. For a fix the diffstat is nice: 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) The patch reverts these commits: - 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable") - 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets") Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were not needed. With this patch we have following behaviour: # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...] option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit ===================================================== ./. | 32bit | 64bit ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes precedence over the configuration. So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the other way around. This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no suprises here. make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

This is for example useful for powerpc to generate allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this: make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.

Avoid setting the value if the symbol doesn't need to be changed or can't be changed. Later choices may change the dependencies and thus the possible input range. make oldconfig from a 2.6.22 .config with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set was in some configurations setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y without asking, even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU.

Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree. Look at the floppy disk icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active state. Mouse click on it: .config is being saved. This patch series changes things so taht after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out. If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens. If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state", that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written. This patch: Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state. All read only accesses of sym_change_count are replaced by calls to conf_get_changed() . mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when conf_get_changed() returned true.

2006-06-09kconfig: fix .config dependenciesRoman Zippel1-1/+15
This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used to check and regenerate the .config file. This was done via an indirect dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make not to reread the changed .config file. Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from .config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies. It's also the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus replaces include/linux/autoconf.h). This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e. silentoldconfig only writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

2005-05-05[PATCH] Kconfig i18n supportArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-10/+10
This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the config process in their own language. No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports, kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure the kernel are internationalized. Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG, LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english, something like: LANG= make menuconfig is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't install any translation file. Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of volunteers at: http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes To start the translation process: make update-po-config This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot, copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish. To test your translation, as root issue this command: msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po Replace "es" with your language code. Then execute, for instance: make menuconfig The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any kind of keying. Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese) translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on the first translation, to pt_BR.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
