Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kconfig: completely remove expr_eliminate_dups2() and related code
this removes expr_eliminate_dups2(), expr_extract_eq_and(), expr_extract_eq_or(), and expr_extract_eq() from scripts/kconfig/expr.[ch]
As the comments in the code state, expr_eliminate_dups2 applies these two transformations:
(FOO || BAR) && (!FOO && !BAR) -> n
(FOO && BAR) || (!FOO || !BAR) -> y
At first glance, this may look like a good idea. On second thought, one should verify all possible values for FOO and BAR, finally leading to the assignment
FOO << 1
BAR << 1
which yields for both expressions the interpretation 1 (syntactically this corresponds to an m) when applying the evaluation rules from
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt:
(FOO || BAR) && (!FOO && !BAR)
-> min(max(1, 1), min(2-1, 2-1)) = min(1, 1) = 1
(FOO && BAR) || (!FOO || !BAR)
-> max(min(1, 1), max(2-1, 2-1)) = max(1, 1) = 1
As n always evaluates to 0 and y to 2, this means that the transformation does not preserve semantics, which I guess is not intended here.
In particular, the expression m && !m expands to (m && MODULES) && !(m && MODULES), then to (m && MODULES) && (!m || !MODULES), and finally in
expr_eliminate_dups2 to n. I therefore think it is a bug which should be fixed.
This patch should fix the problem by just removing the corresponding code. Nothing should break: a quick check did not yield any expression in the
mainline kernel that the (bad) transformation currently applies to. Also, as far as I understand the code, expr_eliminate_dups2 does not do anything
except those two transformations that are to be removed.
As a positive side effect, this reduces code size in expr.c by roughly 10% and slightly improves startup time for all configuration frontends.
