Merge tag 'kconfig-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada: "A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates. I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next, and I did not receive any problem report about this. Summary: - add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice, help is doubled - document data structure and complex code - fix various memory leaks - change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using pre-generated C files - drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool' - use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables - fix gettext() check for xconfig - announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed - make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search result - hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people - fix misc things and cleanups" * tag 'kconfig-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (37 commits) kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable kconfig: announce removal of oldnoconfig if used kconfig: fix make xconfig when gettext is missing kconfig: Clarify menu and 'if' dependency propagation kconfig: Document 'if' flattening logic kconfig: Clarify choice dependency propagation kconfig: Document SYMBOL_OPTIONAL logic kbuild: remove unnecessary LEX_PREFIX and YACC_PREFIX kconfig: use default 'yy' prefix for lexer and parser kconfig: make conf_unsaved a local variable of conf_read() kconfig: make xfgets() really static kconfig: make input_mode static kconfig: Warn if there is more than one help text kconfig: drop 'boolean' keyword kconfig: use bool instead of boolean for type definition attributes, again kconfig: Remove menu_end_entry() kconfig: Document important expression functions kconfig: Document automatic submenu creation code kconfig: Fix choice symbol expression leak ...
