When we search a config symbol, if it has no prompt the position of this
symbol in the Kconfig file and it's dependencies are not printed. 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]

A bug was reported that caused localmodconfig to not keep all the
dependencies of ATH9K. This was caused by the kconfig file:
In drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig:
---
if ATH_CARDS
config ATH_DEBUG
bool "Atheros wireless debugging"
---help---
Say Y, if you want to debug atheros wireless drivers.
Right now only ath9k makes use of this.
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ar5523/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/Kconfig"
endif
---
The current way kconfig works, it processes new source files after the
first file is completed. It creates an array of new source config files
and when the one file is finished, it continues with the next file.
Unfortunately, this means that it loses the fact that the source file is
within an "if" statement, and this means that each of these source file's
configs will not have the proper dependencies set.
As ATH9K requires ATH_CARDS set, the localmodconfig did not see that
dependency, and did not enable ATH_CARDS. When the oldconfig was run, it
forced ATH9K to be disabled.

When a config for a module is added to the list to save in the final
config file, add a print to show what dependencies are used. This is
useful to debug when a config is disabled by the make oldconfig after
localmodconfig is finished.
This print only appears if the environment variable LOCALMODCONFIG_DEBUG
is defined.

According to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.txt, the commands:
yes "" | make oldconfig >conf.new
grep "(NEW)" conf.new
should list the new config symbols with their default values.
However, currently there is no line break after each new symbol. When
kconfig is interactive the user will type a new-line at this point,
but when non-interactive kconfig must print it.

Rewrite all help texts. During several years lazy (incomplete) updates have

(1) Global help called by <F1> should document all _currently_ implemented
keybindings.
(2) Different help texts called by <F3> resp. <F8><F1> should be consistent
with (1) and with implementation:
• on plain menu entry
• in radiolist window
• in input windows for text, decimal or hexadecimal values
• in filename selection windows <F6> <F7>
• SymSearch specific help called by <F8> followed by <F1>
(3) More reasonable window titles:
Rename window title s/README/Global help/
Rename variable s/nconf_readme/nconf_global_help/
Rename window title s/Instructions/Short help/
(4) Consider which hints are most useful for first-time-users.

Currently, the CONFIG_ prefix is hard-coded in the kconfig frontends
executables. This means that two projects that use kconfig with
different prefixes can not share the same kconfig frontends.
Instead of hard-coding the prefix in the frontends, get it from the
environment, and revert back to hard-coded value if not found.

Currently, we get the CONFIG_ prefix via the CONFIG_ macro, which means
the CONFIG_ prefix is hard-coded at compile time. This goes against
having a run-time defined CONFIG_ prefix.
Add a function that returns the CONFIG_ prefix to use (but keep the
current hard-coded behavior, to be changed in a later patch).
To avoid touching all the code that uses the CONFIG_ macro, we just
undef it, and define it to be a call to the function.

The ncurses library allows for extended colors. The support for extended
colors support depends on wide-character support. ncurses headers
enable extended colors (NCURSES_EXT_COLORS) only when wide-character
support is enabled (NCURSES_WIDECHAR).
The "make menuconfig" uses wide-character ncursesw library, which can be
compiled with wide-character support, but does not define NCURSES_WIDECHAR
and it's using headers without wide-character (and extended colors) support.
This fixes problems with colors on systems with enabled extended colors
(like PLD Linux). Without this patch "make menuconfig" is hard to use.

Pull kconfig changes from Michal Marek:
"kconfig in v3.7 is going to
- initialize ncurses only once in menuconfig
- be able to jump to a search result in menuconfig
- change the misnomer oldnoconfig to a more meaningful name
olddefconfig, keeping the old name as alias"
* 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name as an alias
menuconfig: Assign jump keys per-page instead of globally
menuconfig: Do not open code textbox scroll up/down
menuconfig: Add jump keys to search results
menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can return to a scrolled position
menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can exit on arbitrary keypresses
menuconfig: Remove superfluous conditionnal
kconfig: document oldnoconfig to what it really does in conf.c
kconfig/mconf.c: revision of curses initialization.
Pull kbuild fixes from Michal Marek:
"Here are two fixes I intended to send after v3.6-rc7, but failed to do
so. So please pull them for v3.7-rc1 and they will be picked up by
stable.
The first one fixes gcc -x <language> syntax in various build-time
tests, which icecream and possible other gcc wrappers did not
understand (and yes, icecream is going to be fixed as well).
The second one fixes make tar-pkg so that unpacking the tarball does
not replace the /lib -> /usr/lib symlink on recent Fedora releases."
* 'rc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
kbuild: Do not package /boot and /lib in make tar-pkg
The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.
