From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 15:45:19 +0000 (-0700) Subject: kconfig: Avoid prompting for transitional symbols X-Git-Tag: v6.18-rc1~42^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0902b3cb23ce7f436bddbdf6ba7b1ed427b36bd9;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git kconfig: Avoid prompting for transitional symbols The "transitional" symbol keyword, while working with the "olddefconfig" target, was prompting during "oldconfig". This occurred because these symbols were not being marked as user-defined when they received values from transitional symbols that had user values. The "olddefconfig" target explicitly doesn't prompt for anything, so this deficiency wasn't noticed. The issue manifested when a symbol's value came from a transitional symbol's user value but the receiving symbol wasn't marked with SYMBOL_DEF_USER. Thus the "oldconfig" logic would then prompt for these symbols unnecessarily. Check after value calculation whether a symbol without a user value gets its value from a single transitional symbol that does have a user value. In such cases, mark the receiving symbol as user-defined to prevent prompting. Update regression tests to verify that symbols with transitional defaults are not prompted in "oldconfig", except when conditional defaults evaluate to 'no' and should legitimately be prompted. Build tested with "make testconfig".
