Linus Torvalds 35e9a274fd Merge branch 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild
Pull kconfig changes from Michal Marek:
 "kconfig in v3.7 is going to
   - initialize ncurses only once in menuconfig
   - be able to jump to a search result in menuconfig
   - change the misnomer oldnoconfig to a more meaningful name
     olddefconfig, keeping the old name as alias"

  kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name as an alias
  menuconfig: Assign jump keys per-page instead of globally
  menuconfig: Do not open code textbox scroll up/down
  menuconfig: Add jump keys to search results
  menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can return to a scrolled position
  menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can exit on arbitrary keypresses
  menuconfig: Remove superfluous conditionnal

Jean Delvare b1e0d8b70f kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

Benjamin Poirier 95ac9b3b58 menuconfig: Assign jump keys per-page instead of globally
At the moment, keys 1-9 are assigned to the first 9 search results. This patch
makes them assigned to the first 9 results per-page instead. We are much less
likely to run out of keys that way.

Benjamin Poirier 1a374ae619 menuconfig: Do not open code textbox scroll up/down
We don't need to explicitely use ncurses' scroll(). ncurses performs
vertical-motion optimization at wrefresh() time.

Using strace I confirmed that with the following patch curses still sends only
the new line of text to the terminal when scrolling up/down one line at a
time.

Yaakov Selkowitz 84354256bf kconfig: check ncursesw headers first in check-lxdialog
Commit 8c41e5e363 added a check for
ncursesw/curses.h for the case where ncurses and ncursesw are build
separately but only one is installed.  But if both are installed,
the headers ncurses/curses.h and ncursesw/curses.h differ, and since
libncursesw will be found first, so should ncursesw/curses.h.

Junio C Hamano 8c41e5e363 kconfig: fix menuconfig on debian lenny
In 60f33b8 (kconfig: get rid of stray a.o, support ncursesw, 2006-01-15),
support to link menuconfig with ncursesw library was added.  To compute
the linker command option -l, we check "libncursesw.{so,a,dylib}" to allow
ncursesw to be used as a replacement ncurses.  However, when checking what
header file to include, we do not check /usr/include/ncursesw directory.

Add /usr/include/ncursesw to the list of directories that are checked.
With this patch, on my Debian Lenny box with libncursesw5-dev package but
not libncurses5-dev package, I can say "make menuconfig".

Li Zefan 42ef223c4a menuconfig: fix to center checklist correctly in a corner case
Run:
	make ARCH=arm menuconfig

And then select "System Type" -> "ARM system type". The kconfig
"choice" menu at this point looks empty.

It's because config ARCH_S3C2410 has a long prompt:

config ARCH_S3C2410
        bool "Samsung S3C2410, S3C2412, S3C2413, S3C2416, S3C2440, S3C2442, S3C2443, S3C2450"
	...

menuconfig centers the checklist according to this prompt without
considering the width of the list, and then things get wrong.

Li Zefan 22c7eca61e menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have prompts
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.

Ladislav Michl 09af091f50 kconfig: make kconfig MinGW friendly
Kconfig is powerfull tool. So powerfull that more and more software
projects are using it for configuration. So instead of fixing some of
them one by one, lets fix it in kernel and wait for sync.

This work was originaly done for PTXdist - GPL licensed build system for
userlands and cross-compilers, but it will not hurt kernel kconfig
either. PTXdist menuconfig now works on Windows linked with PDCurses and
compiled using MinGW - there is no termios and signals.

* Do not include <sys/wait.h> and <signal.h> (comes from times when
  lxdialog was separate process)
* Do not mess with termios directly and let curses tell screen size.
  Comment to commit c8dc68ad0f says
  check for screen size could be removed later, but because it didn't
  happen for more than year I left it here as well.
* Save cursor position added by Sam

o Moved build of dialog routings to kconfig Makefile
o menubox + checklist uses a new item list to hold all menu items
o in util.c implmented helper function to deal with item list
o menubox now uses parameters to save scroll state (avoids temp file)
o textbox now get text to be displayed as parameter and not a file
o make sure to properly delete subwin's before main windows
o killed unused files: lxdialog.c msgbox.c
o modified return value for ESC to match direct calling
o in a few places the code has been adjusted to 80 char wide
o in textbox a small refactoring was made to make code remotely readable
o in mconf removed all unused stuff (functions/variables)

Following is a list of know short comings:
a) pressing ESC twice will be interpreted as two ESC presses
b) resize does not work. menuconfig needs to be restarted to be adjusted

menu output has to work in a 80 chars terminal.

Paul Smith 4f1933620f kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior
The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed.  This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.

For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html

Changes in this patch:
  - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
  - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
  - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
    targets are up-to-date or not.

Sam Ravnborg 3835f82183 kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage
While running "make menuconfig" and "make mrproper"
some people experienced that /dev/null suddenly changed
permissions or suddenly became a regular file.
The main reason was that /dev/null was used as output
to gcc in the check-lxdialog.sh script and gcc did
some strange things with the output file; in this
case /dev/null when it errorred out.

Following patch implements a suggestion
from Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> to
use gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so.

Also the Makefile is adjusted to not resolve value of
HOST_EXTRACFLAGS and HOST_LOADLIBES until they are actually used.
This prevents us from calling gcc when running make *clean/mrproper

Thanks to Eyal Lebedinsky <eyal@eyal.emu.id.au> and
Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> for the first error reports.

Sam Ravnborg 60f33b8044 kconfig: get rid of stray a.o, support ncursesw
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh uses gcc to check for
what libraries are present. Redirect output to /dev/null
so we do not generate an a.out.
Also included support for ncursesw - so if present prefer that
instead of ncurses.
The order is now (first is preferred):
1) ncursesw
2) ncurses
3) curses

The latter is to support SunOS.

Sam Ravnborg ae215b14bd kconfig: factor out ncurses check in a shell script
Cleaning up the lxdialog Makefile by factoring out the
ncurses compatibility checks.
This made the checks much more obvious and easier to extend.

Petr Baudis 00213b17ce kconfig: Remove support for lxdialog --checklist
Remove support for lxdialog --checklist

The checklist lxdialog functionality is not used by menuconfig
(only the radiolist variant is used) and supporting it would
significantly complicate the forthcoming liblxdialog API.
