Subject: Kconfig: conf segfault (with invalid kconfig contents)

Hi,

Sorry, no patch, just a bugreport. :)

I did a mistake in some Kconfig changes (locally) and got a segfault
from conf:

#0 0x10005fe0 in sym_check_deps ()
#1 0x10005f40 in sym_check_expr_deps ()
#2 0x1000605c in sym_check_deps ()
#3 0x1000f3f4 in conf_parse ()
#4 0x10003824 in main ()


The way to reproduce is simple. I just added the equivalent of this
to arch/powerpc/Kconfig:

---
config TEST1
bool
depends on TEST2 && PCI
select TEST2

config TEST2
bool
---

Neither TEST1 nor TEST2 exists in the existing .config when I run make
oldconfig to reproduce.

It's clearly invalid in that it depends on what it selects, but it should
just abort instead.

Thanks for the report and especially for the testcase!
I will try to look at it a bit later if noone bites me (I'm afraid not).

Well, you're also responsible for it. :)
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/6/14

It actually finds the recursive dependency, but it crashes because sym->prop
is NULL.

Hi Olof.

BAsed on your nice small testcase I have finally looked at it
and fixed the bug. I forgot to credit you in the patch I sent
to lkml (and linux-kbuild) but I have done so in my local repository.

See updated commit below.

[PATCH 1/3] kconfig: improve readout when we hit recursive dependencies

Following sample:
config TEST1
bool
depends on TEST2 && PCI
select TEST2

config TEST2
bool

Will result in the following output:

Kconfig:1:error: found recursive dependency:
TEST1
-> TEST2 (arch/x86/Kconfig:6)
-> TEST1 (arch/x86/Kconfig:1)

The sample above gave a segmentation fault
which is also fixed by this patch.

To save the filename/lineno info add a new property P_SYMBOL
which is added each time we see a symbol definition.

Thanks to Olof for reporting and providing the sample Kconfig.
