The Kconfig lexer supports special characters such as '.' and '/' in the parameter context. In my understanding, the reason is just to support bare file paths in the source statement. I do not see a good reason to complicate Kconfig for the room of ambiguity. The majority of code already surrounds file paths with double quotes, and it makes sense since file paths are constant string literals. Make it treewide consistent now.

bool "Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) features"

help
|
|
Reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) is a computer
|
|
hardware engineering term. Computers designed with higher levels
|
|
of RAS have a multitude of features that protect data integrity
|
|
and help them stay available for long periods of time without
|
|
failure.
|
|
|
|
Reliability can be defined as the probability that the system will
|
|
produce correct outputs up to some given time. Reliability is
|
|
enhanced by features that help to avoid, detect and repair hardware
|
|
faults.
|
|
|
|
Availability is the probability a system is operational at a given
|
|
time, i.e. the amount of time a device is actually operating as the
|
|
percentage of total time it should be operating.
|
|
|
|
Serviceability or maintainability is the simplicity and speed with
|
|
which a system can be repaired or maintained; if the time to repair
|
|
a failed system increases, then availability will decrease.
|
|
|
|
Note that Reliability and Availability are distinct concepts:
|
|
Reliability is a measure of the ability of a system to function
|
|
correctly, including avoiding data corruption, whereas Availability
|
|
measures how often it is available for use, even though it may not
|
|
be functioning correctly. For example, a server may run forever and
|
|
so have ideal availability, but may be unreliable, with frequent
|
|
data corruption.
