If choices consist of choice_values of type tristate that depend on symbols set to 'm', those choice_values are not set to 'n' if the choice is changed from 'm' to 'y' (in which case only one active choice_value is allowed). Those values are also written to the config file causing modules to be built when they should not. The following config can be used to reproduce and examine the problem; with the frontend of your choice set "Choice 0" and "Choice 1" to 'm', then set "Tristate Choice" to 'y' and save the configuration: config modules boolean modules default y option modules config dependency tristate "Dependency" default m choice prompt "Tristate Choice" default choice0 config choice0 tristate "Choice 0" config choice1 tristate "Choice 1" depends on dependency endchoice This patch sets tristate choice_values' visibility that depend on symbols set to 'm' to 'n' if the corresponding choice is set to 'y'. This makes them disappear from the choice list and will also cause the choice_values' value set to 'n' in sym_calc_value() and as a result they are written as "not set" to the resulting .config file.

I assumed that only tristate choice-values can have visibility 'm', which was wrong: tristate dependencies can result in 'm' visibility. So, add an explicit test if a symbol is of type tristate. I am a bit unsure how to handle Tested-By credits when patches change substantially and left the credits untouched but new test reports are welcome. --- scripts/kconfig/symbol.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/symbol.c b/scripts/kconfig/symbol.c index 25cf0c2..2432298 100644 --- a/scripts/kconfig/symbol.c +++ b/scripts/kconfig/symbol.c @@ -209,12 +209,26 @@ static void sym_set_all_changed(void) static void sym_calc_visibility(struct symbol *sym) { struct property *prop; + struct symbol *choice_sym = NULL; tristate tri; /* any prompt visible? */ tri = no; + + if (sym_is_choice_value(sym)) + choice_sym = prop_get_symbol(sym_get_choice_prop(sym)); + for_all_prompts(sym, prop) { prop->visible.tri = expr_calc_value(prop->visible.expr); + /* + * Tristate choice_values with visibility 'mod' are + * not visible if the corresponding choice's value is + * 'yes'. + */ + if (choice_sym && sym->type == S_TRISTATE && + prop->visible.tri == mod && choice_sym->curr.tri == yes) + prop->visible.tri = no; + tri = EXPR_OR(tri, prop->visible.tri); } if (tri == mod && (sym->type != S_TRISTATE || modules_val == no)) -- 2.8.1 -- 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
