* kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERTJosh Triplett2014-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "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.

| * kconfig: sort found symbols by relevanceYann E. MORIN2013-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When searching for symbols, return the symbols sorted by relevance. Sorting is done as thus: - first, symbols that match exactly - then, alphabetical sort Since the search can be a regexp, it is possible that more than one symbol matches exactly. In this case, we can't decide which to sort first, so we fallback to alphabeticall sort. Explain this (new!) sorting heuristic in the documentation.

* / kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb ruleStephen Warren2012-11-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches. MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle. Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

Allowing the simple debugging of typos. - Clearly document the behavior so it is clear to users which values are treated as flags and which values are treated as filenames. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile.
