Usage: (in menuconfig) Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts. Quote Tim Bird (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/19/319): | I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often | use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost | always go through a sequence of searching for the | function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's | completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. | | Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be | unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm | not a Kconfig guru... I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to see if there is any config hidden. I noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options", but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be changed by users. Exmaple: --- Tracers -*- Kernel Function Tracer - - Kernel Function Graph Tracer [*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer - - Preemption-off Latency Tracer [*] Sysprof Tracer Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find out how to make them selectable. I also add this support for gconfig, but haven't done for xconfig. btw: are there many users using gconfig/xconfig today ? --- Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt | 2 +- scripts/kconfig/gconf.c | 113 ++++++++++------------------- scripts/kconfig/gconf.glade | 26 +++++-- scripts/kconfig/lkc_proto.h | 3 +- scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/inputbox.c | 4 +- scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/menubox.c | 22 +++--- scripts/kconfig/mconf.c | 22 +++++- scripts/kconfig/menu.c | 12 +++- scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped | 21 +++++- scripts/kconfig/zconf.y | 21 +++++- 10 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 110 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
