Currently, every expression in Kconfig files produces a new abstract
syntax tree (AST), even if it is identical to a previously encountered
one.
Consider the following code:
config FOO
bool "FOO"
depends on (A || B) && C
config BAR
bool "BAR"
depends on (A || B) && C
config BAZ
bool "BAZ"
depends on A || B
The "depends on" lines are similar, but currently a separate AST is
allocated for each one.
The current data structure looks like this:
FOO->dep ==> AND BAR->dep ==> AND BAZ->dep ==> OR
/ \ / \ / \
OR C OR C A B
/ \ / \
A B A B
This is redundant; FOO->dep and BAR->dep have identical ASTs but
different memory instances.
We can optimize this; FOO->dep and BAR->dep can share the same AST, and
BAZ->dep can reference its sub tree.
The optimized data structure looks like this:
FOO->dep, BAR->dep ==> AND
/ \
BAZ->dep ==> OR C
/ \
A B
This commit introduces a hash table to keep track of allocated
expressions. If an identical expression is found, it is reused.
This does not necessarily result in memory savings, as menu_finalize()
transforms expressions without freeing up stale ones. This will be
addressed later.
One optimization that can be easily implemented is caching the
expression's value. Once FOO's dependency, (A || B) && C, is calculated,
it can be cached, eliminating the need to recalculate it for BAR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
