"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.
However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.
To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

The struct gstr has a capacity that may differ from the actual string length.
However, a string manipulation in the function search_conf made the assumption
that it is the same, which led to messing up some search results, especially
when the content of the gstr in use had not yet reached at least 63 chars.

Each symbol must have exactly one type assigned. However, if a symbol happens
to have two different types assigned at runtime, a warning is printed and the
first type is preserved while the second type is being ignored.
The warning message says
type of <symbol name> redefined from <first type> to <second type>
which may be misleading as it may create the impression that the second type
replaces the first type.
This patch clarifies this by changing the warning to
ignoring type redefinition of <symbol name> from <first type> to <second type>

This fixes lots of typos in comments and strings.
It also updates the documentation strings in mconf to reflect the changes in
the user interface from the two commits
6364fd0cb1
menuconfig: Add Save/Load buttons
1bdbac478a
menuconfig: Get rid of the top-level entries for "Load an Alternate/Save an Alternate"
And it updates the layout of the example search result, i. e. moves down the
"Defined at" and "Depends on" lines and adds a symbol state ([=n]) to the
symbol in the "Selected by" line.
Furthermore, the help texts now should fit in 80 columns again when viewed
in mconf.

Previously, it was possible to have more than one symbol with the
'option modules' attached to them, although only the last one would
in fact control tristates.
Since this does not make much sense, only allow at most one symbol to
control tristates.
Note: it is still possible to have more than one symbol that control
tristates, but indirectly:
config MOD1
bool "mod1"
select MODULES
config MOD2
bool "mod2"
select MODULES
config MODULES
bool
option modules

Currently, the 'MODULES' symbol is hard-coded to be the default symbol
that enables/disables tristates, if no other symbol was declared with
'option modules'.
While this used to be needed for the Linux kernel, we now have an
explicit 'option modules' attached to the 'MODULES' symbol (since
cset 11097a036), so we no longer need to special-case it in the
kconfig code.
Furthermore, kconfig is extensively used out of the Linux kernel, and
other projects may have another meaning for a symbol named 'MODULES'.
This patch changes the way we enable/disable tristates: if a symbol was
found with 'option modules' attached to it, then that symbol controls
enabling tristates. Otherwise, tristates are disabled, even if a symbol
named 'MODULES' exists.

Submenus are sometimes empty and it would be nice if there is
something that notifies us that we should not expect any content
_before_ we enter a submenu.
A new function menu_is_empty() was introduced and empty menus and
menuconfigs are now marked by "----" as opposed to non-empty ones that
are marked by "--->".

menu_add_prop() applies upper menus' visibilities to actual prompts
by AND-ing the prompts visibilities with the upper menus ones.
This creates a further reference to the menu's visibilities and when
the expression reduction functions do their work, they may remove or
modify expressions that have multiple references, thus causing
unpredictable side-effects.
The following example Kconfig constructs a case where this causes
problems: a menu and a prompt which's visibilities depend on the same
symbol. When invoking mconf with this Kconfig and pressing "Z" we
see a problem caused by a free'd expression still referenced by the
menu's visibility:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
mainmenu "Kconfig Testing Configuration"
config VISIBLE
def_bool n
config Placeholder
bool "Place holder"
menu "Invisible"
visible if VISIBLE
config TEST_VAR
bool "Test option" if VISIBLE
endmenu
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch fixes this problem by creating copies of the menu's
visibility expressions before AND-ing them with the prompt's one.

Searching for PPC_EFIKA results in a segmentation fault, and it's
because get_symbol_prop() returns NULL.
In this case CONFIG_PPC_EFIKA is defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/
52xx/Kconfig, so it won't be parsed if ARCH!=PPC, but menuconfig knows
this symbol when it parses sound/soc/fsl/Kconfig:
config SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA
tristate "SoC AC97 Audio support for bbplan Efika and STAC9766"
depends on PPC_EFIKA

Help text under choice menu is never displayed because it does not have
symbol name associated with it, however many kconfigs have help text
under choice, assuming that it will be displayed when user selects help.
for example in Kconfig if we have:
choice
prompt "Choice"
---help---
HELP TEXT ...
config A
bool "A"
config B
bool "B"
endchoice
Without this patch "HELP TEXT" is not displayed when user selects help
option when "Choice" is highlighted from menuconfig or xconfig or
gconfig.
This patch changes the logic in menu_get_ext_help to display help for
cases which dont have symbol names like choice.

If a symbol appears in two different branch of the tree, it should inherit the
dependency of both parent, not just the last one.

This lead to non-selected, non-user-selectable options to be written
out to .config. This is not only pointless, but also preventing the
user to be prompted should any of those options eventually become
visible (e.g. by de-selecting the *_AUTO options the "visible"
attribute was added for.
Furthermore it is quite logical for the "visible" attribute of a menu
to control the visibility of all contained prompts, which is what the
patch does.
