This can be inconvenient, especially when it's set to n and we want to find out why. the following is an example: before: Symbol: GENERIC_SMP_IDLE_THREAD [=y] Type : boolean Selected by: X86 [=y] after: Symbol: GENERIC_SMP_IDLE_THREAD [=y] Type : boolean Defined at arch/Kconfig:213 Selected by: X86 [=y] Signed-off-by: Weng Meiling <wengmeiling.weng@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Libo Chen <libo.chen@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/kconfig/menu.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff -puN scripts/kconfig/menu.c~menuconfig-print-more-info-for-symbol-without-prompts scripts/kconfig/menu.c --- a/scripts/kconfig/menu.c~menuconfig-print-more-info-for-symbol-without-prompts +++ a/scripts/kconfig/menu.c @@ -515,13 +515,6 @@ static void get_prompt_str(struct gstr * struct jump_key *jump; str_printf(r, _("Prompt: %s\n"), _(prop->text)); - str_printf(r, _(" Defined at %s:%d\n"), prop->menu->file->name, - prop->menu->lineno); - if (!expr_is_yes(prop->visible.expr)) { - str_append(r, _(" Depends on: ")); - expr_gstr_print(prop->visible.expr, r); - str_append(r, "\n"); - } menu = prop->menu->parent; for (i = 0; menu != &rootmenu && i < 8; menu = menu->parent) { bool accessible = menu_is_visible(menu); @@ -572,6 +565,18 @@ static void get_prompt_str(struct gstr * } /* + * get peoperty of type P_SYMBOL + */ +static struct property *get_symbol_prop(struct symbol *sym) +{ + struct property *prop = NULL; + + for_all_properties(sym, prop, P_SYMBOL) + break; + return prop; +} + +/* * head is optional and may be NULL */ void get_symbol_str(struct gstr *r, struct symbol *sym, @@ -595,6 +600,14 @@ void get_symbol_str(struct gstr *r, stru } for_all_prompts(sym, prop) get_prompt_str(r, prop, head); + prop = get_symbol_prop(sym); + str_printf(r, _(" Defined at %s:%d\n"), prop->menu->file->name, + prop->menu->lineno); + if (!expr_is_yes(prop->visible.expr)) { + str_append(r, _(" Depends on: ")); + expr_gstr_print(prop->visible.expr, r); + str_append(r, "\n"); + } hit = false; for_all_properties(sym, prop, P_SELECT) { if (!hit) { _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from wengmeiling.weng@xxxxxxxxxx are menuconfig-print-more-info-for-symbol-without-prompts.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
