[ Upstream commit 8c94b430b9f6213dec84e309bb480a71778c4213 ]

If the user selects the very first entry in a page and performs a
search-up operation, or selects the very last entry in a page and
performs a search-down operation that will not succeed (e.g., via
[/]asdfzzz[Up Arrow]), nconf will never terminate searching the page.

The reason is that in this case, the starting point will be set to -1
or n, which is then translated into (n - 1) (i.e., the last entry of
the page) or 0 (i.e., the first entry of the page) and finally the
search begins. This continues to work fine until the index reaches 0 or
(n - 1), at which point it will be decremented to -1 or incremented to
n, but not checked against the starting point right away. Instead, it's
wrapped around to the bottom or top again, after which the starting
point check occurs... and naturally fails.

My original implementation added another check for -1 before wrapping
the running index variable around, but Masahiro Yamada pointed out that
the actual issue is that the comparison point (starting point) exceeds
bounds (i.e., the [0,n-1] interval) in the first place and that,
instead, the starting point should be fixed.

This has the welcome side-effect of also fixing the case where the
starting point was n while searching down, which also lead to an
infinite loop.

OTOH, this code is now essentially all his work.

Amazingly, nobody seems to have been hit by this for 11 years - or at
the very least nobody bothered to debug and fix this.

eval_clause() returning xstrdup("") when all attempts for expansion fail,

[ Upstream commit d85de3399f97467baa2026fbbbe587850d01ba8a ]

If you right-click in the ConfigList window, you will see the following
messages in the console:

QObject::connect: No such slot QAction::setOn(bool) in scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc:888
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'config')
QObject::connect: No such slot QAction::setOn(bool) in scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc:897
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'config')
QObject::connect: No such slot QAction::setOn(bool) in scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc:906
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'config')

Right, there is no such slot in QAction. I think this is a typo of
setChecked.

Due to this bug, when you toggled the menu "Option-&gt;Show Name/Range/Data"
the state of the context menu was not previously updated. Fix this.

If you right-click the first row in the option tree, the pop-up menu
shows up, but if you right-click the second row or below, the event
is ignored due to the following check:

  if (e-&gt;y() &lt;= header()-&gt;geometry().bottom()) {

Perhaps, the intention was to show the pop-menu only when the tree
header was right-clicked, but this handler is not called in that case.

Since the origin of e-&gt;y() starts from the bottom of the header,
this check is odd.

Going forward, you can right-click anywhere in the tree to get the
pop-up menu.

[ Upstream commit c8fb7d7e48d11520ad24808cfce7afb7b9c9f798 ]

Running randconfig on arm64 using KCONFIG_SEED=0x40C5E904 (e.g. on v5.5)
produces the .config with CONFIG_EFI=y and CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN=y,
which does not meet the !CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN dependency.

This is because the user choice for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN vs
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is set by randomize_choice_values() after the
value of CONFIG_EFI is calculated.

When this happens, the has_changed flag should be set.

Currently, it takes the result from the last iteration. It should
accumulate all the results of the loop.

commit 0c5b6c28ed68becb692b43eae5e44d5aa7e160ce upstream.

Prior to this commit, starting nconfig, xconfig or gconfig, and saving
the .config file more than once caused data loss, where a .config file
that contained only comments would be written to disk starting from the
second save operation.

This bug manifests itself because the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag is never
cleared after the first call to conf_write, and subsequent calls to
conf_write then skip all of the configuration symbols due to the
SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag being set.

This commit resolves this issue by clearing the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag
from all symbols before conf_write returns.

commit 8e2442a5f86e1f77b86401fce274a7f622740bc4 upstream.

Since commit 00c864f8903d ("kconfig: allow all config targets to write
auto.conf if missing"), Kconfig creates include/config/auto.conf in the
defconfig stage when it is missing.

Joonas Kylmälä reported incorrect auto.conf generation under some
circumstances.

To reproduce it, apply the following diff:

|  --- a/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  +++ b/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  @@ -345,14 +345,7 @@ CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MIDI=y

|  +CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y
|   CONFIG_MMC=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM=y

And then, run:

$ make ARCH=arm mrproper imx_v6_v7_defconfig

You will see CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y is correctly contained in the
.config, but not in the auto.conf.

Please note drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is included from a choice
block in drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig. So USB_FUNCTIONFS is a choice value.

This is probably a similar situation described in commit beaaddb62540
("kconfig: tests: test defconfig when two choices interact").

When sym_calc_choice() is called, the choice symbol forgets the
SYMBOL_DEF_USER unless all of its choice values are explicitly set by
the user.

The choice symbol is given just one chance to recall it because
set_all_choice_values() is called if SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES
is set.

When sym_calc_choice() is called again, the choice symbol forgets it
forever, since SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES is a one-time aid.
Hence, we cannot call sym_clear_all_valid() again and again.

It is crazy to repeat set and unset of internal flags. However, we
cannot simply get rid of "sym-&gt;flags &amp;= flags | ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;"
Doing so would re-introduce the problem solved by commit 5d09598d488f
("kconfig: fix new choices being skipped upon config update").

To work around the issue, conf_write_autoconf() stopped calling
sym_clear_all_valid().

conf_write() must be changed accordingly. Currently, it clears
SYMBOL_WRITE after the symbol is written into the .config file. This
is needed to prevent it from writing the same symbol multiple times in
case the symbol is declared in two or more locations. I added the new
flag SYMBOL_WRITTEN, to track the symbols that have been written.

Anyway, this is a cheesy workaround in order to suppress the issue
as far as defconfig is concerned.

Handling of choices is totally broken. sym_clear_all_valid() is called
every time a user touches a symbol from the GUI interface. To reproduce
it, just add a new symbol drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig, then touch
around unrelated symbols from menuconfig. USB_FUNCTIONFS will disappear
from the .config file.

I added the Fixes tag since it is more fatal than before. But, this
has been broken since long long time before, and still it is.
We should take a closer look to fix this correctly somehow.

commit 8e2442a5f86e1f77b86401fce274a7f622740bc4 upstream.

Since commit 00c864f8903d ("kconfig: allow all config targets to write
auto.conf if missing"), Kconfig creates include/config/auto.conf in the
defconfig stage when it is missing.

Joonas Kylmälä reported incorrect auto.conf generation under some
circumstances.

To reproduce it, apply the following diff:

|  --- a/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  +++ b/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  @@ -345,14 +345,7 @@ CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MIDI=y
|   CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_HID=y
|   CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_UVC=y

|  +CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y
|   CONFIG_MMC=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM=y

And then, run:

$ make ARCH=arm mrproper imx_v6_v7_defconfig

You will see CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y is correctly contained in the
.config, but not in the auto.conf.

Please note drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is included from a choice
block in drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig. So USB_FUNCTIONFS is a choice value.

This is probably a similar situation described in commit beaaddb62540
("kconfig: tests: test defconfig when two choices interact").

When sym_calc_choice() is called, the choice symbol forgets the
SYMBOL_DEF_USER unless all of its choice values are explicitly set by
the user.

The choice symbol is given just one chance to recall it because
set_all_choice_values() is called if SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES
is set.

When sym_calc_choice() is called again, the choice symbol forgets it
forever, since SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES is a one-time aid.
Hence, we cannot call sym_clear_all_valid() again and again.

It is crazy to repeat set and unset of internal flags. However, we
cannot simply get rid of "sym-&gt;flags &amp;= flags | ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;"
Doing so would re-introduce the problem solved by commit 5d09598d488f
("kconfig: fix new choices being skipped upon config update").

To work around the issue, conf_write_autoconf() stopped calling
sym_clear_all_valid().

conf_write() must be changed accordingly. Currently, it clears
SYMBOL_WRITE after the symbol is written into the .config file. This
is needed to prevent it from writing the same symbol multiple times in
case the symbol is declared in two or more locations. I added the new
flag SYMBOL_WRITTEN, to track the symbols that have been written.

Anyway, this is a cheesy workaround in order to suppress the issue

[ Upstream commit 9c38f1f044080392603c497ecca4d7d09876ff99 ]

Backspace is not working on some terminal emulators which do not send the
key code defined by terminfo. Terminals either send '^H' (8) or '^?' (127).
But currently only '^?' is handled. Let's also handle '^H' for those
terminals.
