From: Justin M. Forbes on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2262#note_1258211133 This actually seems like the more desirable behavior, but in either case, having the same config item listed multiple times in the file is a bug. It does appear that this patch changes the config output, however it seems like logical changes: ``` --- a/kernel-x86_64-rhel.config +++ b/kernel-x86_64-rhel.config @@ -868,7 +868,6 @@ CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y CONFIG_CPUMASK_KUNIT_TEST=m CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y CONFIG_CPUSETS=y -# CONFIG_CPU_SUP_CENTAUR ignored for predicate CONFIG_EXPERT # CONFIG_CPU_THERMAL is not set CONFIG_CPU_UNRET_ENTRY=y # CONFIG_CRAMFS is not set @@ -5864,44 +5863,31 @@ CONFIG_SND_SOC_RT715_SDW=m # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SMDK_WM8994_PCM is not set # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SNOW is not set CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ACPI=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ALDERLAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ALDERLAKE=m # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_AMD_TOPLEVEL is not set -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_APOLLOLAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_APOLLOLAKE=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BAYTRAIL: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BAYTRAIL=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BROADWELL: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_BROADWELL=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_CANNONLAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_CANNONLAKE=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_COFFEELAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_COFFEELAKE=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_COMETLAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_COMETLAKE=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ELKHARTLAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ELKHARTLAKE=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_GEMINILAKE=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_HDA_AUDIO_CODEC=y CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_HDA_LINK=y -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ICELAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_ICELAKE=m # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_IMX8M_SUPPORT is not set # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_IMX8_SUPPORT is not set # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_IMX_TOPLEVEL is not set -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_SOUNDWIRE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_SOUNDWIRE=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_TOPLEVEL=y -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_JASPERLAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_JASPERLAKE=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_KABYLAKE=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_MERRIFIELD: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_MERRIFIELD=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_METEORLAKE=m # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_OF is not set CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_PCI=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_SKYLAKE=m -# CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_TIGERLAKE: CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_TIGERLAKE=m CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_TOPLEVEL=y # CONFIG_SND_SOC_SPDIF is not set @@ -7280,12 +7266,8 @@ CONFIG_XILINX_GMII2RGMII=m # CONFIG_XILLYBUS is not set # CONFIG_XILLYUSB is not set CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT_RO_MODE=y -# CONFIG_XZ_DEC_ARM ignored for predicate CONFIG_EXPERT -# CONFIG_XZ_DEC_ARMTHUMB ignored for predicate CONFIG_EXPERT -# CONFIG_XZ_DEC_IA64 ignored for predicate CONFIG_EXPERT # CONFIG_XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA is not set CONFIG_XZ_DEC_POWERPC=y -# CONFIG_XZ_DEC_SPARC ignored for predicate CONFIG_EXPERT # CONFIG_XZ_DEC_TEST is not set CONFIG_XZ_DEC_X86=y CONFIG_XZ_DEC=y ``` Other arches included the same or just a subset as the SND_SOC bits were lacking deps. If you look closely, we are losing comments that shouldn't be in the file, and do not have an impact on the built kernel. Behavior of the built kernels should be identical. For future changes, after merge, things would work just as before the merge in that anyone making a config change should verify that the config change they are making has the desired effect. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
