2013-10-08kconfig: fix trivial typos and update mconf documentationMartin Walch1-31/+29
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 6364fd0cb1e4c7f72b974613e0cf5744ae4d2cb2 menuconfig: Add Save/Load buttons 1bdbac478a858d2aa73a6784c7c2e09de0f6d06b 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.

2013-06-18mconf/nconf: mark empty menus/menuconfigs different from non-empty onesDirk Gouders1-5/+6
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 "--->". This scheme was suggested by "Yann E.

So, instead of seeing only 6 entries, we'd see as much as possible in the current screen. Ditto for the width: the popup adapts to the longest prompt (but does not overflow the screen either, of course), so prompts are not truncated." NOTE: This patch requires [1].

2012-05-17MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.Paul Gortmaker1-1/+1
Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series. This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in carrying this any further into the future. One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

2010-04-14menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have promptsLi Zefan1-4/+18
Usage: Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts. Quote Tim Bird: | I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often | use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost | always go through a sequence of searching for the | function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's | completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. | | Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be | unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm | not a Kconfig guru... I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to see if there is any config hidden. I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options", but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be changed by users. Exmaple: --- Tracers -*- Kernel Function Tracer - - Kernel Function Graph Tracer [*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer - - Preemption-off Latency Tracer [*] Sysprof Tracer Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find out how to make them selectable.

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text includes the names of all other options the option in question depends on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list without scrolling horizontally. This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word boundaries to prevent truncating. Tested by running ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

PTXdist menuconfig now works on Windows linked with PDCurses and compiled using MinGW - there is no termios and signals. * Do not include <sys/wait.h> and <signal.h> (comes from times when lxdialog was separate process) * Do not mess with termios directly and let curses tell screen size. Comment to commit c8dc68ad0fbd934e78e913b8a8d7b45945db4930 says check for screen size could be removed later, but because it didn't happen for more than year I left it here as well. * Save cursor position added by Sam Signed-off-by: Ladislav Michl <ladis@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>
2007-10-12kconfig/menuconfig: distinguish between selected-by-another options and commentsMatej Laitl1-8/+15
menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select' directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'. Unfortunately the same notation is used for comments. If the implied option is module capable, user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she visits option's help. (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling CFG80211) This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2 new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for options that cannot be at the moment changed by user. The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes) around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.
