This commit decreases 6 shift/reduce conflicts, and finally achieves
conflict-free parser.
Since Kconfig has no terminator for a config block, detecting the end
of config_stmt is not easy.
For example, there are two ways for handling the error in the following
code:
1 config FOO
2 =
[A] Print "unknown option" error, assuming the line 2 is a part of
config_option_list
[B] Print "invalid statement", assuming the line 1 is reduced into
a config_stmt by itself
Bison actually chooses [A] because it performs the shift rather than
the reduction where both are possible.
However, there is no reason to choose one over the other.
Let's remove the option_error, and let it fall back to [B].

This commit decreases 15 shift/reduce conflicts.
The location of this error recovery is ambiguous.
For example, there are two ways to interpret the following code:
1 config FOO
2 bool "foo"
[A] Both lines are reduced together into a config_stmt.
[B] The only line 1 is reduced into a config_stmt, and the line 2
matches to "option_name error T_EOL"
Of course, we expect [A], but [B] could be grammatically possible.
Kconfig has no terminator for a config block. So, we cannot detect its
end until we see a non-property keyword. People often insert a blank
line between two config blocks, but it is just a coding convention.
Blank lines are actually allowed anywhere in Kconfig files.
The real error is when a property keyword appears right after "endif",
"endchoice", "endmenu", "source", "comment", or variable assignment.
Instead of fixing the grammatical ambiguity, I chose to simply remove
this error recovery.
The difference is
unexpected option "bool"
... is turned into a more generic message:
invalid statement

This commit decreases 8 shift/reduce conflicts.
A certain amount of grammatical ambiguity comes from how to reduce
excessive T_EOL tokens.
Let's take a look at the example code below:
1 config A
2 bool "a"
3
4 depends on B
5
6 config B
7 def_bool y
The line 3 is melt into "config_option_list", but the line 5 can be
either a part of "config_option_list" or "common_stmt" by itself.
Currently, the lexer converts '\n' to T_EOL verbatim. In Kconfig,
a new line works as a statement terminator, but new lines in empty
lines are not critical since empty lines (or lines that contain only
whitespaces/comments) are just no-op.
If the lexer simply discards no-op lines, the parser will not be
bothered by excessive T_EOL tokens.
Of course, this means we are shifting the complexity from the parser
to the lexer, but it is much easier than tackling on shift/reduce
conflicts.
I introduced the second stage lexer to tweak the behavior.
Discard T_EOL if the previous token is T_EOL or T_HELPTEXT.
Two T_EOL tokens in a row is meaningless. T_HELPTEXT is a special
token that is reduced without T_EOL.

All line-oriented statements should be reduced when seeing a T_EOL

Now, we got a basic ability to test compiler capability in Kconfig.
config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
def_bool $(shell,($(CC) -Werror -fstack-protector -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null 2>/dev/null) && echo y || echo n)
This works, but it is ugly to repeat this long boilerplate.
We want to describe like this:
config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
bool
default $(cc-option,-fstack-protector)
It is straight-forward to add a new function, but I do not like to
hard-code specialized functions like that. Hence, here is another
feature, user-defined function. This works as a textual shorthand
with parameterization.
A user-defined function is defined by using the = operator, and can
be referenced in the same way as built-in functions. A user-defined
function in Make is referenced like $(call my-func,arg1,arg2), but I
omitted the 'call' to make the syntax shorter.
The definition of a user-defined function contains $(1), $(2), etc.
in its body to reference the parameters. It is grammatically valid
to pass more or fewer arguments when calling it. We already exploit
this feature in our makefiles; scripts/Kbuild.include defines cc-option
which takes two arguments at most, but most of the callers pass only
one argument.
By the way, a variable is supported as a subset of this feature since
a variable is "a user-defined function with zero argument". In this
context, I mean "variable" as recursively expanded variable. I will
add a different flavored variable in the next commit.
The code above can be written as follows:
[Example Code]
success = $(shell,($(1)) >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo y || echo n)
cc-option = $(success,$(CC) -Werror $(1) -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null)
config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
def_bool $(cc-option,-fstack-protector)
[Result]
$ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 1 .config
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR=y

To get access to environment variables, Kconfig needs to define a
symbol using "option env=" syntax. It is tedious to add a symbol entry
for each environment variable given that we need to define much more
such as 'CC', 'AS', 'srctree' etc. to evaluate the compiler capability
in Kconfig.
Adding '$' for symbol references is grammatically inconsistent.
Looking at the code, the symbols prefixed with 'S' are expanded by:
- conf_expand_value()
This is used to expand 'arch/$ARCH/defconfig' and 'defconfig_list'
- sym_expand_string_value()
This is used to expand strings in 'source' and 'mainmenu'
All of them are fixed values independent of user configuration. So,
they can be changed into the direct expansion instead of symbols.
This change makes the code much cleaner. The bounce symbols 'SRCARCH',
'ARCH', 'SUBARCH', 'KERNELVERSION' are gone.
sym_init() hard-coding 'UNAME_RELEASE' is also gone. 'UNAME_RELEASE'
should be replaced with an environment variable.
ARCH_DEFCONFIG is a normal symbol, so it should be simply referenced
without '$' prefix.
The new syntax is addicted by Make. The variable reference needs
parentheses, like $(FOO), but you can omit them for single-letter
variables, like $F. Yet, in Makefiles, people tend to use the
parenthetical form for consistency / clarification.
At this moment, only the environment variable is supported, but I will
extend the concept of 'variable' later on.
The variables are expanded in the lexer so we can simplify the token
handling on the parser side.
For example, the following code works.
[Example code]
config MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST
string
default "My tools: CC=$(CC), AS=$(AS), CPP=$(CPP)"
[Result]
$ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 1 .config
CONFIG_MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST="My tools: CC=gcc, AS=as, CPP=gcc -E"

1da177e Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Last one is the initial Git commit, where menu_end_entry() is empty as
well. I couldn't find anything that redefined it on Google either.
It might be a debugging helper for setting a breakpoint after each
config, menuconfig, and comment is parsed. IMO it hurts more than it
helps in that case by making the parsing code look more complicated at a
glance than it really is, and I suspect it doesn't get used much.
Tested by running the Kconfiglib test suite, which indirectly verifies
that the .config files generated by the C implementation for each
defconfig file in the kernel stays the same.

If a 'mainmenu' entry appeared in the Kconfig files, two things would
leak:
- The 'struct property' allocated for the default "Linux Kernel
Configuration" prompt.
- The string for the T_WORD/T_WORD_QUOTE prompt after the
T_MAINMENU token, allocated on the heap in zconf.l.
To fix it, introduce a new 'no_mainmenu_stmt' nonterminal that matches
if there's no 'mainmenu' and adds the default prompt. That means the
prompt only gets allocated once regardless of whether there's a
'mainmenu' statement or not, and managing it becomes simple.

Prior to this fix, zconf.y did not free symbol names from zconf.l in
these contexts:
- After T_CONFIG ('config LEAKED')
- After T_MENUCONFIG ('menuconfig LEAKED')
- After T_SELECT ('select LEAKED')
- After T_IMPLY ('imply LEAKED')
- After T_DEFAULT in a choice ('default LEAKED')
All of these come in the form of T_WORD tokens, which always have their
associated string allocated on the heap in zconf.l and need to be freed.
Fix by introducing a new nonterminal 'nonconst_symbol' which takes a
T_WORD, fetches the symbol, and then frees the T_WORD string. The
already existing 'symbol' nonterminal works the same way but also
accepts T_WORD_QUOTE, corresponding to a constant symbol. T_WORD_QUOTE
should not be accepted in any of the contexts above, so the 'symbol'
nonterminal can't be reused here.
Fetching the symbol in 'nonconst_symbol' also removes a bunch of
sym_lookup() calls from actions.

The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target
config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come
with the "select" keyword.
This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their
ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to
configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers.
Currently, the same effect can almost be achieved with:
config DRIVER_A
tristate
config DRIVER_B
tristate
config DRIVER_C
tristate
config DRIVER_D
tristate
[...]
config SUBSYSTEM_X
tristate
default DRIVER_A || DRIVER_B || DRIVER_C || DRIVER_D || [...]
This is unwieldy to maintain especially with a large number of drivers.
Furthermore, there is no easy way to restrict the choice for SUBSYSTEM_X
to y or n, excluding m, when some drivers are built-in. The "select"
keyword allows for excluding m, but it excludes n as well. Hence
this "imply" keyword. The above becomes:
config DRIVER_A
tristate
imply SUBSYSTEM_X
config DRIVER_B
tristate
imply SUBSYSTEM_X
[...]
config SUBSYSTEM_X
tristate
This is much cleaner, and way more flexible than "select". SUBSYSTEM_X
can still be configured out, and it can be set as a module when none of
the drivers are configured in or all of them are modular.

Over the years I found it desirable to be able to use all sorts of
relations, not just (in)equality. And apparently I'm not the only one,
as there's at least one example in the tree where the programmer
assumed this would work (see DEBUG_UART_8250_WORD in
arch/arm/Kconfig.debug). Another possible use would e.g. be to fold the
two SMP/NR_CPUS prompts into one: SMP could be promptless, simply
depending on NR_CPUS > 1.
A (desirable) side effect of this change - resulting from numeric
values now necessarily being compared as numbers rather than as
strings - is that comparing hex values now works as expected: Other
than int ones (which aren't allowed to have leading zeroes), zeroes
following the 0x prefix made them compare unequal even if their values
were equal.

Currently, the 'MODULES' symbol is hard-coded to be the default symbol
that enables/disables tristates, if no other symbol was declared with
'option modules'.
While this used to be needed for the Linux kernel, we now have an
explicit 'option modules' attached to the 'MODULES' symbol (since
cset 11097a036), so we no longer need to special-case it in the
kconfig code.
Furthermore, kconfig is extensively used out of the Linux kernel, and
other projects may have another meaning for a symbol named 'MODULES'.
This patch changes the way we enable/disable tristates: if a symbol was
found with 'option modules' attached to it, then that symbol controls
enabling tristates. Otherwise, tristates are disabled, even if a symbol
named 'MODULES' exists.

While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.
The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.
When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.
It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.
This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.
Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.
I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.
The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)
1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1 <--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket
There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.
This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.
I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.

zconf.hash.c references the token constants from zconf.y. However,
current bison defines the token constants after the initial code
section, making zconf.hash.c fail to compile. Move the include of
zconf.hash.c later in zconf.y, so bison puts it after the token
constants.

As choice dependency are now fully checked, it's quite easy to add support
for named choices. This lifts the restriction that a choice value can only
appear once, although it still has to be within the same group,
but multiple choices can be joined by giving them a name.
While at it I cleaned up a little the choice type logic to simplify it a
bit.

Remove the following redundant and never or rarely used kconfig syntax:
- "def_boolean" (same as "def_bool")
- "requires" (same as "depends on")
- "depends" (same as "depends on")
This patch contains the code changes and Kconfig updates.
The shipped files are in next patch to let actual codechange stand out.

This patch does this and at the same time introduce a few API
funtions used to access the help text.
The relevant api functions are introduced in the various frontends.

Sample:
config FOO
bool "This is foo"
depends on BAR
config BAR
bool "This is bar"
depends on FOO
This will result in following error message:
error: found recursive dependency: FOO -> BAR -> FOO
And will then exit with exit code equal 1 so make will stop.

Those two functions are
void sym_set_change_count(int count)
and
void sym_add_change_count(int count)
All write accesses to sym_change_count are replaced by calls to above
functions.
Variable and changer-functions are moved to confdata.c. IMO thats ok, as
sym_change_count is an attribute of the .config's change state.
