Kconfig simplifies expressions, but redundant '&&' and '||' operators
involving constant symbols 'y' and 'n' are sometimes trimmed and
sometimes not.

            def_bool y

    config A
            bool "A"
            depends on DEP && y

    config B
            bool "B"
            depends on DEP && y && y

    -----

The dependency for A, 'DEP && y', remains as-is, while that for B,
'DEP && y && y', has been reduced to 'DEP'.

Currently, expr_eliminate_dups() calls expr_eliminate_yn() only when
trans_count != 0, in other words, only when expr_eliminate_dups1() has
trimmed at least one leaf. It fails to trim a single '&& y', etc.

To fix this inconsistent behavior, expr_eliminate_yn() should be called
at least once even if no leaf has been trimmed.

As commit afa974b7 ("kbuild: add real-prereqs shorthand for
$(filter-out FORCE,$^)") explained, $(real-prereqs) is not just a list
of objects when linking a multi-object module. If a single-object module
is turned into a multi-object module, $^ (and therefore $(real-prereqs)
as well) contains header files recorded in the *.cmd file. Such headers
must be filtered out.

Now that a DTB can be built either from a single source or multiple
source files, the same issue can occur.

Consider the following scenario:

First, foo.dtb is implemented as a single-blob device tree.

The code looks something like this:

[Sample Code 1]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb

  foo.dts:

    #include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

When it is compiled, .foo.dtb.cmd records that foo.dtb depends on
scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h.

Later, foo.dtb is split into a base and an overlay. The code looks
something like this:

[Sample Code 2]

  Makefile:

      dtb-y += foo.dtb
      foo-dtbs := foo-base.dtb foo-addon.dtbo

  foo-base.dts:

    #include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>
    /dts-v1/;
    / { };

  foo-addon.dtso:

    /dts-v1/;
    /plugin/;
    / { };

If you rebuild foo.dtb without 'make clean', you will get this error:

    Overlay 'scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h' is incomplete

$(real-prereqs) contains not only foo-base.dtb and foo-addon.dtbo but
also scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h, which is
passed to scripts/dtc/fdtoverlay.

In Kbuild, if DEBEMAIL is given in the form "name <email>", it is used

In contrast, debchange takes the name from DEBFULLNAME (or NAME) if set,
as described in 'man debchange':

  If this variable has the form "name <email>", then the maintainer name
  will also be taken from here if neither DEBFULLNAME nor NAME is set.

When a prompt is followed by "if <expr>", the symbol is configurable
when the if-conditional evaluates to true.

A typical usage is as follows:

    menuconfig BLOCK
            bool "Enable the block layer" if EXPERT
            default y

When EXPERT=n, the prompt is hidden, but this config entry is still
active, and BLOCK is set to its default value 'y'. When EXPERT=y, the
prompt is shown, making BLOCK a user-configurable option.

This usage is common throughout the kernel tree, but it has never worked
within a choice block.

[Test Code]

    config EXPERT
            bool "Allow expert users to modify more options"

    choice
            prompt "Choose" if EXPERT

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

[Result]

    # CONFIG_EXPERT is not set

When the prompt is hidden, the choice block should produce the default
without asking for the user's preference. Hence, the output should be:

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

Removing unnecessary hacks fixes the issue.

This commit also changes the behavior of 'select' by choice members.

[Test Code 2]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    config DEP
            def_tristate m

    if DEP

    choice
            prompt "choose"

    config A
            bool "A"
            select C

    endchoice

    config B
            def_bool y
            select D

    endif

    config C
            tristate

    config D
            tristate

The current output is as follows:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_DEP=m
    CONFIG_A=y
    CONFIG_B=y
    CONFIG_C=y
    CONFIG_D=m

With this commit, the output will be changed as follows:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_DEP=m
    CONFIG_A=y
    CONFIG_B=y
    CONFIG_C=m
    CONFIG_D=m

CONFIG_C will be changed to 'm' because 'select C' will inherit the
dependency on DEP, which is 'm'.

This change is aligned with the behavior of 'select' outside a choice
block; 'select D' depends on DEP, therefore D is selected by (B && DEP).

Note:

With this commit, allmodconfig will set CONFIG_USB_ROLE_SWITCH to 'm'
instead of 'y'. I did not see any build regression with this change.

While Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst provides a brief
explanation, there are recurring confusions regarding the usage of a
prompt followed by 'if <expr>'. This conditional controls _only_ the
prompt.

A typical usage is as follows:

    menuconfig BLOCK
            bool "Enable the block layer" if EXPERT
            default y

When EXPERT=n, the prompt is hidden, but this config entry is still
active, and BLOCK is set to its default value 'y'. This is reasonable
because you are likely want to enable the block device support. When
EXPERT=y, the prompt is shown, allowing you to toggle BLOCK.

Please note that it is different from 'depends on EXPERT', which would
enable and disable the entire config entry.

However, this conditional prompt has never worked in a choice block.

The following two work in the same way: when EXPERT is disabled, the
choice block is entirely disabled.

[Test Code 1]

    choice
            prompt "choose" if EXPERT

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

[Test Code 2]

    choice
            prompt "choose"
            depends on EXPERT

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B"

    endchoice

I believe the first case should hide only the prompt, producing the
default:

   CONFIG_A=y
   # CONFIG_B is not set

The next commit will change (fix) the behavior of the conditional prompt
in choice blocks.

I see several choice blocks wrongly using a conditional prompt, where
'depends on' makes more sense.

To preserve the current behavior, this commit converts such misuses.

I did not touch the following entry in arch/x86/Kconfig:

    choice
            prompt "Memory split" if EXPERT
            default VMSPLIT_3G

This is truly the correct use of the conditional prompt; when EXPERT=n,
this choice block should silently select the reasonable VMSPLIT_3G,
although the resulting PAGE_OFFSET will not be affected anyway.

Presumably, the one in fs/jffs2/Kconfig is also correct, but I converted
it to 'depends on' to avoid any potential behavioral change.

Handling choices has always been in a PITA in Kconfig.

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

 - 422c809f ("kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG")
 - 23a5dfda ("Revert "kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG"")
 - 8357b485 ("kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG")
 - 490f1617 ("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 > 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' > 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(=?) --> B(=?) --> C(=?) --> D(=?) --> 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) --> A(=?) --> B(=?) --> D(=?) --> E(=?)

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

    A(=n) --> C(=y) --> B(=?) --> D(=?) --> E(=?)

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

    D(=y) --> A(=n) --> C(=y) --> B(=?) --> E(=?)

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

    D(=y) --> A(=n) --> C(=y) --> B(=y) --> E(=y)
or
    D(=y) --> A(=n) --> C(=y) --> E(=y) --> 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.

The kernel tree builds some "composite" DTBs, where the final DTB is the
result of applying one or more DTB overlays on top of a base DTB with
fdtoverlay.

The FIT image specification already supports configurations having one
base DTB and overlays applied on top. It is then up to the bootloader to
apply said overlays and either use or pass on the final result. This
allows the FIT image builder to reuse the same FDT images for multiple
configurations, if such cases exist.

The decomposition function depends on the kernel build system, reading
back the .cmd files for the to-be-packaged DTB files to check for the
fdtoverlay command being called. This will not work outside the kernel
tree. The function is off by default to keep compatibility with possible
existing users.

To facilitate the decomposition and keep the code clean, the model and
compatitble string extraction have been moved out of the output_dtb
function. The FDT image description is replaced with the base file name
of the included image.

(.tmp_vmlinux.btf)

CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y requires two additional link steps.
(.tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 and .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2)

Enabling both requires three additional link steps.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y, the current build
process is as follows:

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf             # temporary vmlinux for BTF
    BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1       # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 1
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2       # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
    LD      vmlinux                      # final vmlinux

This is redundant because the BTF generation and the kallsyms step 1 can
be performed against the same temporary vmlinux.

When both CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and CONFIG_KALLSYMS are enabled, we can
reduce the number of link steps by one.

This commit changes the build process as follows:

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux1                # temporary vmlinux for BTF and kallsyms step 1
    BTF     .tmp_vmlinux1.btf.o
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux1.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux1.kallsyms.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux2                # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux2.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux2.kallsyms.o
    LD      vmlinux                      # final vmlinux

This reimplements commit 951bcae6 ("kallsyms: Avoid weak references
for kallsyms symbols") because I am not a big fan of PROVIDE().

As an alternative solution, this commit prepends one more kallsyms step.

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S          # added
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o          # added
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf
    BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
    LD      vmlinux

Step 0 takes /dev/null as input, and generates .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o,
which has a valid kallsyms format with the empty symbol list, and can be
linked to vmlinux. Since it is really small, the added compile-time cost
is negligible.

Clean up the variables in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh

 - Specify the extra objects directly in vmlinux_link()
 - Move the AS rule to kallsyms()
 - Set kallsymso and btf_vmlinux_bin_o where they are generated
 - Remove unneeded variable, kallsymso_prev
 - Introduce the btf_data variable
 - Introduce the strip_debug flag instead of checking the output name

The outer switch statement can be avoided by continue'ing earlier the
loop when the symbol type is neither S_BOOLEAN nor S_TRISTATE.

Remove it to reduce the indentation level by one. In addition, avoid
the repetition of sym->def[S_DEF_USER].tri.
