If a minimal config did not specify the value
of all choice values, the resulting configuration
could have wrong values.
Consider following example:
config M
def_bool y
option modules
choice
prompt "choice list"
config A
tristate "a"
config B
tristate "b"
endchoice
With a defconfig like this:
CONFIG_M=y
CONFIG_A=y
The resulting configuration would have
CONFIG_A=m
which was unexpected.
The problem was not not all choice values were set and thus
kconfig calculated a wrong value.
The fix is to set all choice values when we
read a defconfig files.
conf_set_all_new_symbols() is refactored such that
random choice values are now handled by a dedicated function.
And new choice values are set by set_all_choice_values().
This was not the minimal fix, but the fix that resulted
in the most readable code.

savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file
named "defconfig".
The config symbols are saved in the same order as
they appear in the menu structure so it should
be possible to map them to the relevant menus
if desired.
The implementation was tested against several minimal
configs for arm which was created using brute-force.
There was one regression related to default numbers
which had their valid range further limited by another symbol.
Sample:
config FOO
int "foo"
default 4
config BAR
int "bar"
range 0 FOO
If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3.
But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4.
This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK,
and the fix was non-trivial.
So it was documented in the code and left as is.

With the following patch kconfig reports:

There seems to be a kconfig bug due to MODULES not always being
evaluated if no .config is found. Take the following Kconfig as an
example:
config MODULES
def_bool y
config FOO
def_tristate m
With no .config, the following configuration is generated:
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_FOO=y
With an empty .config, the following:
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_FOO=m
Tristate choice statements can also exhibit the problem, due to having an
implicit rev_dep (select) containing "m".
The problem is that MODULES is never evaluted in conf_read_simple() unless
there's a .config. The following patch fixes this.

The 'source' builtin is a bash alias to the '.' (dot) builtin. While the
former is supported only by bash, the latter is specified in POSIX and
works fine with all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of.
The '$_' special parameter is specific to bash. It is partially
supported in dash too but it always evaluates to the current script path
(which causes the script to enter a loop recursively re-executing
itself). This is why I have replaced the two occurences of '$_' with the
explicit parameter.
The 'local' builtin is another example of bash-specific code. Although
it is supported by all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of, it is not
part of POSIX specification and thus the code should not rely on it
assigning a specific value to the local variable. Moreover, the 'posh'
shell has a limited version of 'local' builtin not supporting direct
variable assignments. Thus, I have broken one of the 'local'
declarations down into a (non-POSIX) 'local' declaration and a plain
(POSIX-compliant) variable assignment.

The "select" statement in Kconfig files allows the enabling of options
even if they have unmet direct dependencies (i.e. "depends on" expands
to "no"). Currently, the "depends on" clauses are used in calculating
the visibility but they do not affect the reverse dependencies in any
way.
The patch introduces additional tracking of the "depends on" statements
and prints a warning on selecting an option if its direct dependencies
are not met.

It just hit me.
It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows:
return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset +
(r->r_offset - sechdrs[section].sh_addr);
E.g. for the first rodata r entry:
r->r_offset < sechdrs[section].sh_addr
and the expression in the parenthesis produces 0xFFFFFFE0 or something

This changes the default of the option --git-all-signature-types to be
disabled by default.
The effect being, that only certain (currently Signed-Off-By:, Acked-by:
and Reviewed-By:) tags are used to get adresses of potential maintainers.
Motivated is this change by the desire to not 'spam' people unnecessary: A
Tested-By or a Reported-By is not ment as a hint that those people want
to/are able to review patches to the code in question.
In a quest to find resilient statistics for this i came up with this:
I produced a list of all the tag-signers not already covered with a
signed-off/acked/reviewed tag somewhere in the last year of git history.
Those were 650 addresses of "assumed non-developers".
And to check if those "assumed non-developers" are professional
testers/reporters worth cc'ing, i then counted their total appearences
in the git log:
469 were mentioned only once.
123 were mentioned twice.
38 three times
8 four times
5 six times
5 five times
1 eight times
1 fourteen times
I believe this supports my thesis, that the ''non-maintainer-tags'' are
not actively useful for patch-review. (except probably the guy mentioned
fourteen times...)
But of course one could also find arguments to poke holes in this
statistics, for example does this statistic not include code-locality: A
tested-by on a patch that touches some specific piece of code can be more
worth than a signed-off in another part of the tree.
But... let's play it safe and let's err on the "safe" side meaning to not
spam those people when in doubt. We already have the signed-off's and
Maintainers file. So this should be ok. And if need be, the maintainers
can always forward the patch.
