Without this patch, one has to refer to the Kconfig file to find
out the range of an integer/hex symbol.
│ Symbol: NR_CPUS [=4]
│ Type : integer
│ Range : [2 8]
│ Prompt: Maximum number of CPUs
│ Defined at arch/x86/Kconfig:761
│ Depends on: SMP [=y] && !MAXSMP [=n]
│ Location:
│ -> Processor type and features

Randy suggested to print out the symbol type in gconfig.
Note this change does more than Randy's suggestion, that it also
affects menuconfig and "make config".
│ Symbol: BLOCK [=y]
│ Type : boolean
│ Prompt: Enable the block layer
│ Defined at block/Kconfig:4
│ Depends on: EMBEDDED [=n]

Usage:
Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts.
Quote Tim Bird:
| I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often
| use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost
| always go through a sequence of searching for the
| function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's
| completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
|
| Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be
| unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm
| not a Kconfig guru...
I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test
ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are
enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to
see if there is any config hidden.
I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options",
but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not
interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be
changed by users.
Exmaple:
--- Tracers
-*- Kernel Function Tracer
- - Kernel Function Graph Tracer
[*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer
- - Preemption-off Latency Tracer
[*] Sysprof Tracer
Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find
out how to make them selectable.

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses
replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).
Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look
interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel,
form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is
currently distributed with the kernel.

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.

We have had warnings for a long time about select of unknow symbol
but the warnings does not really makes sense since we may
select a symbol that is relevant and defined in one
arch but not in another arch.
And as long as we do not use a common set of Kconfig files
for all archs lets just ignore this case.
Previously we have used this to find bad uses of
select but we need a more relaible method to do so.

Change kconfig behavior so that mixing bool and tristate config
settings in a choice is possible and has the desired effect of offering
just the tristate options individually if the choice gets set to M, and
a normal boolean selection if the choice gets set to Y.
Also fix scripts/kconfig/conf's handling of children of choice values -
there may be more than one immediate child, and all of them need to be
processed.

This reverts commit a5bf3d891a.
David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the
drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file:
"That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's
worked that way for several years now ... so the issue seems to be
changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics.
The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to
configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ... the
controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage.
It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which
could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked
either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically."
Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second
problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.

Replace all menu_add_prop mimicking menu_add_prompt with the latter func. I've
had to add a return value to menu_add_prompt for one usage.
I've rebuilt scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped by hand to reflect changes
in the source (I've not the same Bison version so regenerating it wouldn't
have been not a good idea), and compared it with what Roman itself did some
time ago, and it's the same.
So I guess this can be finally merged.

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.
I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. 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!
