| always go through a sequence of searching for the

| Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be
| unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled?  I'm
| not a Kconfig guru...

I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test
ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are
enabled, so I  enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to
see if there is any config hidden.

but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not
interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be
changed by users.

Exmaple:

      --- Tracers
      -*-   Kernel Function Tracer

      [*]   Interrupts-off Latency Tracer
      - -   Preemption-off Latency Tracer

The rationale according to PBP is that an explicit return of undef
(contrary to most people's expectations) doesn't
always evaluate as false. It has to with the fact that perl return value

list context, the appropriate return value for false is an empty list;
whereas in scalar context the return value for false is undefined.
By just using a "return" both cases are handled.

In the context of a trivial script this doesn't matter. But one script
may be cut-paste into later code (most people like me only know 50%

14 years agoImprove kconfig symbol hashing
Andi Kleen [Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:02:44 +0000 (17:02 +0100)]
Improve kconfig symbol hashing

While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.

The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.

When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.

It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.

This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.

Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.

I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.

The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)

1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1 <--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket

There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.

This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.

I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.

David Rientjes [Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:01:05 +0000 (13:01 -0800)]
kbuild: improve version string logic

The LOCALVERSION= string passed to "make" will now always be appended to
the kernel version after CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, if it exists, regardless of
whether CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set or not.  This allows users to
uniquely identify their kernel builds with a string.

If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, the unique SCM tag reported by
setlocalversion (or .scmversion) is appended to the kernel version, if it
exists.  When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not enabled, a `+' is appended
to the kernel version to represent that the kernel has been revised since
the last release unless "make LOCALVERSION=" was used to uniquely identify
the build.

The end result is this:

 - when LOCALVERSION= is passed to "make", it is appended to the kernel
   version,

 - when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, a unique SCM identifier is
   appended if the respository has been revised beyond a tagged commit,
   and

 - when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is disabled, a `+' is appended if the
   repository has been revised beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION=
   was not passed to "make".

Examples:

With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "make" results in
v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63.  If there are uncommited changes to the
respository, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty.  If
"make LOCALVERSION=kbuild" were used, it results in
v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty.

Without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4+
unless the repository is at the Linux v2.6.32-rc4 commit (in which
case the version would be v2.6.32-rc4).  If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild"
were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild.

Also renames variables such as localver-auto and _localver-auto to more
accurately describe what they represent: localver-extra and
scm-identifier, respectively.

make -C /build/dir M=module-source-dir
