'config BPF' exists in both init/Kconfig and kernel/bpf/Kconfig.

Commit b24abcff918a ("bpf, kconfig: Add consolidated menu entry for bpf
with core options") added the second one to kernel/bpf/Kconfig instead
of moving the existing one.

Merge them together.

Wrong.

"in kernel/Makefile".


Why is it related to this patch?

Sorry, my obvious mistake.




Your patch probably works since there are lots of some other BPF related
configurations which requires CONFIG_BPF. But maybe we sould
keep 'config BPF' in init/Kconfig and remove 'config BPF'
in kernel/bpf/Kconfig. This will be less confusing?

Why?

The 'less confusing' part is just my initial feeling. I found
some CGROUP related configs are defined in init/Kconfig but not
under kernel/cgroup directory. So I thought 'config BPF' could
stay in init/Kconfig as well.

But I just did some other checking. For example, 'config NET'
is actually under 'net' directory. So probably you are right,
let us remove the one in init/Kconfig and use the one
in kernel/bpf/Kconfig.

So
