Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 4e244c10eab345a7
("kconfig: remove unneeded symbol_empty variable") in v6.8-rc1.
When running "make <foo>_defconfig" with <foo>_defconfig an SMP
defconfig without explicit configuration of CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT,
the aforementioned commit causes a change in the generated .config:
-CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=12
+CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=0
It looks like CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 is treated as a string instead of
the integer number zero?
init/Kconfig=config LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
init/Kconfig- int "CPU kernel log buffer size contribution (13 => 8
KB, 17 => 128KB)"
init/Kconfig- depends on SMP
init/Kconfig- range 0 21
init/Kconfig: default 12 if !BASE_SMALL
init/Kconfig: default 0 if BASE_SMALL
Note that reverting 4e244c10eab345a7 is not sufficient to fix the issue.
Also reverting commit 6262afa10ef7cc8f ("kconfig: default to zero if
int/hex symbol lacks default property") does fix it.
Thanks!
