It seems that allyesconfig is not the best test since the direct
dependencies tend to be true most of the time. It only showed a problem
with IP_VS_PROTO_AH_ESP which depends on UNDEFINED but is still
selected.
I modified the patch slightly to only consider the "depends on"
statements specific to a config option (without inherited ones) when
validating the "select" statements. This would allow the above menu
usecase without problems.
As for avoiding run-time regressions, the patch should either only warn
but continue as before or fail the kernel building in the config stage
so that the Kconfig files are fixed.
Here's the updated patch:
kbuild: Do not select symbols with unmet dependencies
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
The "select" statement in Kconfig files allows the enabling of options
even if they have unmet direct dependencies (i.e. "depends on" expands
to "no"). Currently, the "depends on" clauses are used in calculating
the visibility but they do not affect the reverse dependencies in any
way.
The patch introduces additional tracking of the "depends on" statements
and does not allow selecting an option if its direct dependencies are
not met, also printing a warning.
