[ Upstream commit 226ac19c217f24f0927d0a73cf9ee613971a188d ]

When conf_read_simple() is called with S_DEF_AUTO, it is meant to read
previous symbol values from include/config/auto.conf to determine which
include/config/* files should be touched.

This process should not modify the current symbol status in any way.
However, conf_touch_deps() currently invalidates all symbol values and
recalculates them, which is totally unneeded.

[ Upstream commit a314f52a0210730d0d556de76bb7388e76d4597d ]

Most 'make *config' commands use .config as the base configuration file.

When .config does not exist, Kconfig tries to load a file listed in
KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST instead.

However, since commit b75b0a819af9 ("kconfig: change defconfig_list
option to environment variable"), warning messages have displayed an
incorrect file name in such cases.

Below is a demonstration using Debian Trixie. While loading
/boot/config-6.12.9-amd64, the warning messages incorrectly show .config
as the file name.

With this commit, the correct file name is displayed in warnings.

[Before]

  $ rm -f .config
  $ make config
  #
  # using defaults found in /boot/config-6.12.9-amd64
  #
  .config:6804:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for FB_BACKLIGHT
  .config:9895:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for ANDROID_BINDER_IPC

[After]

Handling choices has always been in a PITA in Kconfig.

For example, fixes and reverts were repeated for randconfig with
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG:

 - 422c809f03f0 ("kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG")
 - 23a5dfdad22a ("Revert "kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG"")
 - 8357b48549e1 ("kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG")
 - 490f16171119 ("Revert "kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG"")

As these commits pointed out, randconfig does not randomize choices when
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is used. This issue still remains.

[Test Case]

    choice
            prompt "choose"

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

    $ echo &gt; all.config
    $ make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=1 randconfig

The output is always as follows:

    CONFIG_A=y
    # CONFIG_B is not set

Not only randconfig, but other all*config variants are also broken with
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG.

With the same Kconfig,

    $ echo '# CONFIG_A is not set' &gt; all.config
    $ make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=1 allyesconfig

You will get this:

    CONFIG_A=y
    # CONFIG_B is not set

This is incorrect because it does not respect all.config.

The correct output should be:

    # CONFIG_A is not set
    CONFIG_B=y

To handle user inputs more accurately, this commit refactors the code
based on the following principles:

 - When a user value is given, Kconfig must set it immediately.
   Do not defer it by setting SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES.

 - The SYMBOL_DEF_USER flag must not be cleared, unless a new config
   file is loaded. Kconfig must not forget user inputs.

In addition, user values for choices must be managed with priority.
If user inputs conflict within a choice block, the newest value wins.
The values given by randconfig have lower priority than explicit user
inputs.

This commit implements it by using a linked list. Every time a choice
block gets a new input, it is moved to the top of the list.

Let me explain how it works.

Let's say, we have a choice block that consists of five symbols:
A, B, C, D, and E.

Initially, the linked list looks like this:

    A(=?) --&gt; B(=?) --&gt; C(=?) --&gt; D(=?) --&gt; E(=?)

Suppose randconfig is executed with the following KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG:

    CONFIG_C=y
    # CONFIG_A is not set
    CONFIG_D=y

First, CONFIG_C=y is read. C is set to 'y' and moved to the top.

    C(=y) --&gt; A(=?) --&gt; B(=?) --&gt; D(=?) --&gt; E(=?)

Next, '# CONFIG_A is not set' is read. A is set to 'n' and moved to
the top.

    A(=n) --&gt; C(=y) --&gt; B(=?) --&gt; D(=?) --&gt; E(=?)

Then, 'CONFIG_D=y' is read. D is set to 'y' and moved to the top.

    D(=y) --&gt; A(=n) --&gt; C(=y) --&gt; B(=?) --&gt; E(=?)

Lastly, randconfig shuffles the order of the remaining symbols,
resulting in:

    D(=y) --&gt; A(=n) --&gt; C(=y) --&gt; B(=y) --&gt; E(=y)
or
    D(=y) --&gt; A(=n) --&gt; C(=y) --&gt; E(=y) --&gt; B(=y)

When calculating the output, the linked list is traversed and the first
visible symbol with 'y' is taken. In this case, it is D if visible.

If D is hidden by 'depends on', the next node, A, is examined. Since
it is already specified as 'n', it is skipped. Next, C is checked, and
selected if it is visible.

If C is also invisible, either B or E is chosen as a result of the
randomization.

If B and E are also invisible, the linked list is traversed in the
reverse order, and the least prioritized 'n' symbol is chosen. It is
A in this case.

Now, Kconfig remembers all user values. This is a big difference from
the previous implementation, where Kconfig would forget CONFIG_C=y when
CONFIG_D=y appeared in the same input file.

The new appaorch respects user-specified values as much as possible.

<title>kconfig: remove tristate choice support</title>

<id>fde192511bdbff554320b31574bb8a9cb3275522</id>
<content type='text'>
I previously submitted a fix for a bug in the choice feature [1], where
I mentioned, "Another (much cleaner) approach would be to remove the
tristate choice support entirely".

There are more issues in the tristate choice feature. For example, you
can observe a couple of bugs in the following test code.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    choice
            prompt "tristate choice"
            default A

    config A
            tristate "A"

    config B
            tristate "B"

    endchoice

Bug 1: the 'default' property is not correctly processed

'make alldefconfig' produces:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    # CONFIG_A is not set
    # CONFIG_B is not set

However, the correct output should be:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_A=y
    # CONFIG_B is not set

The unit test file, scripts/kconfig/tests/choice/alldef_expected_config,
is wrong as well.

Bug 2: choice members never get 'y' with randconfig

For the test code above, the following combinations are possible:

               A    B
        (1)    y    n
        (2)    n    y
        (3)    m    m
        (4)    m    n
        (5)    n    m
        (6)    n    n

'make randconfig' never produces (1) or (2).

These bugs are fixable, but a more critical problem is the lack of a
sensible syntax to specify the default for the tristate choice.
The default for the choice must be one of the choice members, which
cannot specify any of the patterns (3) through (6) above.

In addition, I have never seen it being used in a useful way.

The following commits removed unnecessary use of tristate choices:

 - df8df5e4bc37 ("usb: get rid of 'choice' for legacy gadget drivers")
 - bfb57ef0544a ("rapidio: remove choice for enumeration")

This commit removes the tristate choice support entirely, which allows
me to delete a lot of code, making further refactoring easier.

Note:
This includes the revert of commit fa64e5f6a35e ("kconfig/symbol.c:
handle choice_values that depend on 'm' symbols"). It was suspicious
because it did not address the root cause but introduced inconsistency

I previously submitted a fix for a bug in the choice feature [1], where
I mentioned, "Another (much cleaner) approach would be to remove the
tristate choice support entirely".

There are more issues in the tristate choice feature. For example, you
can observe a couple of bugs in the following test code.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    choice
            prompt "tristate choice"
            default A

    config A
            tristate "A"

    config B
            tristate "B"

    endchoice

Bug 1: the 'default' property is not correctly processed

'make alldefconfig' produces:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    # CONFIG_A is not set
    # CONFIG_B is not set

However, the correct output should be:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_A=y
    # CONFIG_B is not set

The unit test file, scripts/kconfig/tests/choice/alldef_expected_config,
is wrong as well.

Bug 2: choice members never get 'y' with randconfig

For the test code above, the following combinations are possible:

               A    B
        (1)    y    n
        (2)    n    y
        (3)    m    m
        (4)    m    n
        (5)    n    m
        (6)    n    n

'make randconfig' never produces (1) or (2).

These bugs are fixable, but a more critical problem is the lack of a
sensible syntax to specify the default for the tristate choice.
The default for the choice must be one of the choice members, which
cannot specify any of the patterns (3) through (6) above.

In addition, I have never seen it being used in a useful way.

The following commits removed unnecessary use of tristate choices:

 - df8df5e4bc37 ("usb: get rid of 'choice' for legacy gadget drivers")
 - bfb57ef0544a ("rapidio: remove choice for enumeration")

This commit removes the tristate choice support entirely, which allows
me to delete a lot of code, making further refactoring easier.

Note:
This includes the revert of commit fa64e5f6a35e ("kconfig/symbol.c:
handle choice_values that depend on 'm' symbols"). It was suspicious
because it did not address the root cause but introduced inconsistency
in visibility between choice members and other symbols.

<title>kconfig: pass new conf_changed value to the callback</title>

Commit ee06a3ef7e3c ("kconfig: Update config changed flag before calling
callback") pointed out that conf_updated flag must be updated _before_
calling the callback, which needs to know the new value.

Given that, it makes sense to directly pass the new value to the
callback.
