This series fixes several issues with help text generated by Kconfig, mainly affecting symbols that are defined in multiple places. Although results of these patches are somewhat visible for the symbols in Linux, what prompted me to write the series was working on U-Boot, which also uses Kconfig and makes very heavy use of multiple definitions (e.g. for overriding defaults). I have provided Linux examples where I could find them, but the example for the biggest patch (the first one) is taken from U-Boot because it was more illustrative than anything I could find in Linux. Changes in v2: - Added explicit U-Boot version in commit message + other rewordings - Made the new "Depends on:" line print actual dependencies instead of visibility to avoid an intra-series regression, and noted that in the commit message. - Get rid of redundant "with prompt" and "without prompt" notes in definition text, but continue to ensure that definitions with prompts are printed before ones without. - Fixed checkpatch issues - Omit already-merged patch "kconfig: don't crash on NULL expressions in expr_eq()" Thomas Hebb (3): kconfig: list all definitions of a symbol in help text kconfig: distinguish between dependencies and visibility in help text kconfig: fix nesting of symbol help text scripts/kconfig/expr.c | 3 +- scripts/kconfig/expr.h | 1 + scripts/kconfig/menu.c | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 3 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) -- 2.24.1
