kconfig: distinguish between dependencies and visibility in help text Kconfig makes a distinction between dependencies (defined by "depends on" expressions and enclosing "if" blocks) and visibility (which includes all dependencies, but also includes inline "if" expressions of individual properties as well as, for prompts, "visible if" expressions of enclosing menus). Before commit bcdedcc1afd6 ("menuconfig: print more info for symbol without prompts"), the "Depends on" lines of a symbol's help text indicated the visibility of the prompt property they appeared under. After bcdedcc1afd, there was always only a single "Depends on" line, which indicated the visibility of the first P_SYMBOL property of the symbol. Since P_SYMBOLs never have inline if expressions, this was in effect the same as the dependencies of the menu item that the P_SYMBOL was attached to. Neither of these situations accurately conveyed the dependencies of a symbol--the first because it was actually the visibility, and the second because it only showed the dependencies from a single definition. With this series, we are back to printing separate dependencies for each definition, but we print the actual dependencies (rather than the visibility) in the "Depends on" line. However, it can still be useful to know the visibility of a prompt, so this patch adds a "Visible if" line that shows the visibility only if the visibility is different from the dependencies (which it isn't for most prompts in Linux).

kconfig: Print reverse dependencies in groups Surprisingly or not, disabling a CONFIG option (which is assumed to be unneeded) may be not so trivial. Especially it is not trivial, when this CONFIG option is selected by a dozen of other configs. Before the moment commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:" readable") popped up in v4.16-rc1, it was an absolute pain to break down the "Selected by" reverse dependency expression in order to identify all those configs which select (IOW *do not allow disabling*) a certain feature (assumed to be not needed). This patch tries to make one step further by putting at users' fingertips the revdep top level OR sub-expressions grouped/clustered by the tristate value they evaluate to. This should allow the users to directly concentrate on and tackle the _active_ reverse dependencies. To give some numbers and quantify the complexity of certain reverse dependencies, assuming commit 617aebe6a97e ("Merge tag 'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64 and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with the highest amount of top level "||" sub-expressions/tokens that make up the final "Selected by" reverse dependency expression. | Config | All revdep | Active revdep | |-------------------|------------|---------------| | REGMAP_I2C | 212 | 9 | | CRC32 | 167 | 25 | | FW_LOADER | 128 | 5 | | MFD_CORE | 124 | 9 | | FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT | 114 | 2 | | FB_CFB_COPYAREA | 111 | 2 | | FB_CFB_FILLRECT | 110 | 2 | | SND_PCM | 103 | 2 | | CRYPTO_HASH | 87 | 19 | | WATCHDOG_CORE | 86 | 6 | The story behind the above is that users need to visually review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C, for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.
