Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: Add findconf script and helper program

scripts/findconf provides menuconfig's search functionality as a
standalone, non-interactive command, somewhat in the spirit of
scripts/config. It is meant to be useful for tasks like getting a
quick overview of symbol dependencies or determining which Kconfig
file to edit for a given symbol, without having to fire up one of the
interactive config programs.

It accepts a single command-line flag, '-v', which causes it to also
print the help text of each matching result.

This works a bit differently from [gmnq]conf in that it accepts (and
requires) arguments, but I couldn't see an easy/obvious way of passing
command-line args through the makefile infrastructure that invokes
those, so the wrapper script passes things to it via environment
variables instead. Suggestions welcome if there's a nicer way of
achieving that.

I can see how this could be useful.
It's a little easier to use than what I currently do:

$ findconfig DRM_HISI_HIBMC
./drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/hibmc/Kconfig:2:config DRM_HISI_HIBMC

then $EDITOR that_Kconfig_file


In testing, I am seeing this:

#

How do I specify/choose a .config file to be used?

Oh, use KCONFIG_CONFIG=filename


Please update (add) usage/help text in scripts/kconfig/Makefile.

I'm guessing 'findconfig' here is some personal shell
alias/function/script? (I can't see any references to it in the kernel
source tree.)

This I assume is just due to the contents of your .config file relative
to the current Kconfig definitions and not a problem with anything in
this patch?

Ah, I guess that'd be a nice thing to add a flag for to the wrapper
script -- I'll include that in v2.

Ack, will do.

Yes, it's just local.

There is no .config file in the linux/ source tree at the top level.
I use O=build_dir for all builds.

Another idea might be to add the following to
scripts/kconfig/Makefile:



@@ -77,7 +76,13 @@ PHONY += $(simple-targets)
$(simple-targets): $(obj)/conf
$(Q)$< $(silent) --$@ $(Kconfig)

-PHONY += savedefconfig defconfig
+PHONY += findconfig savedefconfig defconfig
+
+findconfig: $(obj)/conf
+ $(Q)$< $(silent) --$@=$(KCONFIG_FIND) $(Kconfig)
+
+%_findconfig: $(obj)/conf
+ $(Q)$< $(silent) --findconfig=$* $(Kconfig)

savedefconfig: $(obj)/conf
$(Q)$< $(silent) --$@=defconfig $(Kconfig)





Instead of adding a separate program for this,
you can modify scripts/kconfig/conf.c

- add 'findconfig' to enum input_mode
- add 'findconfig' to long_opts[]
- add 'case findconfig' to main() function



Then, you can do

$ make findconfig KCONFIG_FIND=DRM_HISI_HIBMC

or

$ make DRM_HISI_HIBMC_findconfig

as a shorthand.


scripts/findconf is unneeded
but you can put your own script in ~/bin
if you want to save your typing even more.

Hmm, interesting idea -- it seems a bit more awkward to use though, and
if everyone who makes much use of it is likely to be writing their own
little ad-hoc wrapper script anyway, it seems like we might as well do
that once and check it in?

The current approach also provides support for multi-query searches,
which while it isn't critical is slightly more convenient than running
it multiple times or cramming everything into a single combined regex
(analogous to grep's '-e' flag).

That said, if you and/or others have a strong preference for doing it
via a make target I could rearrange it to work that way instead.
