commit 0c5b6c28ed68becb692b43eae5e44d5aa7e160ce upstream.

Prior to this commit, starting nconfig, xconfig or gconfig, and saving
the .config file more than once caused data loss, where a .config file
that contained only comments would be written to disk starting from the
second save operation.

This bug manifests itself because the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag is never
cleared after the first call to conf_write, and subsequent calls to
conf_write then skip all of the configuration symbols due to the
SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag being set.

This commit resolves this issue by clearing the SYMBOL_WRITTEN flag
from all symbols before conf_write returns.

<id>urn:sha1:c7b5dbbacb0dace989c57a726aa68be72e746441</id>

commit 8e2442a5f86e1f77b86401fce274a7f622740bc4 upstream.

Since commit 00c864f8903d ("kconfig: allow all config targets to write
auto.conf if missing"), Kconfig creates include/config/auto.conf in the
defconfig stage when it is missing.

Joonas Kylmälä reported incorrect auto.conf generation under some
circumstances.

To reproduce it, apply the following diff:

|  --- a/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  +++ b/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig
|  @@ -345,14 +345,7 @@ CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MIDI=y
|   CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_HID=y
|   CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_UVC=y

|  -CONFIG_USB_ZERO=m
|  -CONFIG_USB_AUDIO=m

|  +CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y
|   CONFIG_MMC=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
|   CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM=y

And then, run:

$ make ARCH=arm mrproper imx_v6_v7_defconfig

You will see CONFIG_USB_FUNCTIONFS=y is correctly contained in the
.config, but not in the auto.conf.

Please note drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig is included from a choice
block in drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig. So USB_FUNCTIONFS is a choice value.

This is probably a similar situation described in commit beaaddb62540
("kconfig: tests: test defconfig when two choices interact").

When sym_calc_choice() is called, the choice symbol forgets the
SYMBOL_DEF_USER unless all of its choice values are explicitly set by
the user.

The choice symbol is given just one chance to recall it because
set_all_choice_values() is called if SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES
is set.

When sym_calc_choice() is called again, the choice symbol forgets it
forever, since SYMBOL_NEED_SET_CHOICE_VALUES is a one-time aid.
Hence, we cannot call sym_clear_all_valid() again and again.

It is crazy to repeat set and unset of internal flags. However, we
cannot simply get rid of "sym-&gt;flags &amp;= flags | ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;"
Doing so would re-introduce the problem solved by commit 5d09598d488f
("kconfig: fix new choices being skipped upon config update").

To work around the issue, conf_write_autoconf() stopped calling
sym_clear_all_valid().

conf_write() must be changed accordingly. Currently, it clears
SYMBOL_WRITE after the symbol is written into the .config file. This
is needed to prevent it from writing the same symbol multiple times in
case the symbol is declared in two or more locations. I added the new
flag SYMBOL_WRITTEN, to track the symbols that have been written.

Anyway, this is a cheesy workaround in order to suppress the issue
as far as defconfig is concerned.

Handling of choices is totally broken. sym_clear_all_valid() is called
every time a user touches a symbol from the GUI interface. To reproduce
it, just add a new symbol drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig, then touch
around unrelated symbols from menuconfig. USB_FUNCTIONFS will disappear
from the .config file.

I added the Fixes tag since it is more fatal than before. But, this
has been broken since long long time before, and still it is.
We should take a closer look to fix this correctly somehow.

Adding SPDX license identifier is pretty safe; however, here is one
exception.

Since commit ec8f24b7faaf ("treewide: Add SPDX license identifier -
Makefile/Kconfig"), "make testconfig" would not pass.

When Kconfig detects a circular file inclusion, it displays error
messages with a file name and a line number prefixed to each line.

The unit test checks if Kconfig emits the error messages correctly
(this also checks the line number correctness).

Now that the test input has the SPDX license identifier at the very top,
the line numbers in the expected stderr should be incremented by 1.

<title>kconfig: use 'else ifneq' for Makefile to improve readability</title>

'ifeq ... else ifneq ... endif' notation is supported by GNU Make 3.81
or later, which is the requirement for building the kernel since
commit 37d69ee30808 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81").

Use it to improve the readability.

<title>kconfig: Terminate menu blocks with a comment in the generated config</title>

Currently menu blocks start with a pretty header but end with nothing in
the generated config. So next config options stick together with the
options from the menu block.

Let's terminate menu blocks in the generated config with a comment and
a newline if needed. Example:

...
CONFIG_BPF_STREAM_PARSER=y
CONFIG_NET_FLOW_LIMIT=y

#
# Network testing
#
CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN=y
CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR=y
# end of Network testing
# end of Networking options

CONFIG_HAMRADIO=y
...

<title>treewide: prefix header search paths with $(srctree)/</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, the Kbuild core manipulates header search paths in a crazy
way [1].

To fix this mess, I want all Makefiles to add explicit $(srctree)/ to
the search paths in the srctree. Some Makefiles are already written in
that way, but not all. The goal of this work is to make the notation
consistent, and finally get rid of the gross hacks.

Having whitespaces after -I does not matter since commit 48f6e3cf5bc6
("kbuild: do not drop -I without parameter").

Valid pathnames will never exceed PATH_MAX, but these file names
are unsanitized and can cause buffer overflow if set incorrectly.
Use snprintf to avoid this. This was flagged during a Coverity scan
of the coreboot project, which also uses kconfig for its build system.

"name" always points to a valid string.
