Commit 7a88488bbc ("[PATCH] kconfig: use gperf for kconfig keywords")
introduced gperf for the keyword lookup.
Then, commit bb3290d916 ("Remove gperf usage from toolchain") killed
the gperf use. As a result, the linear keyword search was left behind.
If we do not use gperf, there is no reason to have the separate table
of the keywords. Move all keywords back to the lexer.
I also refactored the lexer to remove the COMMAND and PARAM states.

Currently, the lexer returns T_ASSIGN for all of =, :=, and +=
associating yylval with the flavor.
I want to make the generated lexer as simple as possible. So, the
lexer should convert keywords to tokens without thinking about the
meaning.
= -> T_EQUAL
:= -> T_COLON_EQUAL
+= -> T_PLUS_EQUAL
Unfortunately, Kconfig uses = instead of == for the equal operator.
So, the same token T_EQUAL is used for assignment and comparison.
The parser can still distinguish them from the context.

Currently, "visible" and "depends on", if defined in a menu entry,
must appear in that order.
The real example is in drivers/media/tuners/Kconfig:
menu "Customize TV tuners"
visible if <expr1>
depends on <expr2>
... is fine, but you cannot change the property order like this:
menu "Customize TV tuners"
depends on <expr2>
visible if <expr1>
Kconfig does not require a specific order of properties. In this case,
menu_add_visibility(() and menu_add_dep() are orthogonal.

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].
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
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.

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

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

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.
