c0ddc8c745 localmodconfig: Use Kbuild files too
In kbuild it is allowed to define objects in files named "Makefile"
and "Kbuild".
Currently localmodconfig reads objects only from "Makefile"s and misses
modules like nouveau.

95edca5c52 localmodconfig: Add config depends by default settings
Currently localmodconfig will miss dependencies from the default option.
For example:

config FOO
	default y if BAR || ZOO

If FOO is needed for a module and is set to '=m', and so are BAR or ZOO,
localmodconfig will not see that BOO or ZOO are also needed for the foo
module, and will incorrectly disable them.

ced9cb1af1 localmodconfig: Process source kconfig files as they are found
A bug was reported that caused localmodconfig to not keep all the
dependencies of ATH9K. This was caused by the kconfig file:

In drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig:

---
if ATH_CARDS

config ATH_DEBUG
        bool "Atheros wireless debugging"
        ---help---
          Say Y, if you want to debug atheros wireless drivers.
          Right now only ath9k makes use of this.

source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ar5523/Kconfig"
source "drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/Kconfig"

endif
---

The current way kconfig works, it processes new source files after the
first file is completed. It creates an array of new source config files
and when the one file is finished, it continues with the next file.

Unfortunately, this means that it loses the fact that the source file is
within an "if" statement, and this means that each of these source file's
configs will not have the proper dependencies set.

As ATH9K requires ATH_CARDS set, the localmodconfig did not see that
dependency, and did not enable ATH_CARDS. When the oldconfig was run, it
forced ATH9K to be disabled.

When a config for a module is added to the list to save in the final
config file, add a print to show what dependencies are used. This is

localmodconfig is finished.

This print only appears if the environment variable LOCALMODCONFIG_DEBUG

4eae518d4b localmodconfig: Fix localyesconfig to set to 'y' not 'm'
The kbuild target 'localyesconfig' has been same as 'localmodconfig'
since the commit 50bce3e "kconfig/streamline_config.pl: merge
local{mod,yes}config". The commit expects this script generates
different configure depending on target, but it was not yet implemented.

So I added code that sets to 'yes' when target is 'localyesconfig'.

d4bb58b5cb localmodconfig: Check if configs are already set for selects
There are some cases that a required module does not have a prompt
and needs to have another module enabled that selects it to be set.
As localmodconfig is conservative and tries to make the minimum config
without breaking the user's kernel, or keeping the user from using
devices that were loaded when the lsmod was done, all modules that
select this module will also be enabled.

If you needed module A, but module A did not have a prompt but needed
module B to be selected, localmodconfig would make sure B was still
enabled. If not only B selected A, but C, D, E, F, and G also
selected A, then all of those would also be included, as well as the
modules they depend on. This ballooned the number of configs that
localmodconfig would keep.

The fix here is to process the depends first, and then record those
configs that did not have a prompt and needed to be selected.
After the depends are done, check what configs are needed to select
the configs in the list, and if a config that selects it is already
set, then we don't need to do anything else.

If no config that selects the config is set, then just pick one and
try again.

This change brought down the number of selected modules from 290
to 67! Both before and after were run against a config that had 3095
modules enabled.

4f4c51c940 localmodconfig: Read in orig config file to avoid extra processing
Read in the entire config file. If there's a config that we depend on
that happens to be in the core set (not a module) then we do not need
to process it as a module.

Currently, we follow the entire depend and selects even if they
are enabled as core and not modules. By checking to make sure that we
only look at modules we can drop the count a little.

From one of my tests, localmodconfig went from taking 3095 set modules
down to 356 before this patch, and down to 290 modules after the change.

364212fdda kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Fix parsing Makefile with variables
Thomas Lange reported that when he did a 'make localmodconfig', his
config was missing the brcmsmac driver, even though he had the module
loaded.

Looking into this, I found the file:
drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/Makefile
had the following in the Makefile:

MODULEPFX := brcmsmac

obj-$(CONFIG_BRCMSMAC)  += $(MODULEPFX).o

The way streamline-config.pl works, is parsing all the
 obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o
lines to find that CONFIG_FOO belongs to the module foo.ko.

But in this case, the brcmsmac.o was not used, but a variable in its place.

By changing streamline-config.pl to remember defined variables in Makefiles
and substituting them when they are used in the obj-X lines, allows
Thomas (and others) to have their brcmsmac module stay configured
when it is loaded and running "make localmodconfig".

615f0833aa kconfig: Add LSMOD=file to override the lsmod for localmodconfig
Doing the following:

	make LSMOD=file localmodconfig

Will make the streamline-config code use the given file instead of
lsmod. If the file is an executable, it will execute it, otherwise
it will read it as text.

	make LSMOD=/my/local/path/lsmod localmodconfig

The above will execute the lsmod in /my/local/path instead of the
lsmods that may be located elsewhere.

	make LSMOD=embedded_board_lsmod localmodconfig

The above will read the "embedded_board_lsmod" as a text file. This
is useful if you are doing a cross compile and need to run the
config against modules that exist on an embedded device.

Note, if the LSMOD= file does is not a path, it will add the
path to the object directory. That is, the above example will look
for "embedded_board_lsmod" in the directory that the binary will
be built in (the O=dir directory).

dcc60243e7 kconfig: add streamline_config.pl to scripts
streamline_config.pl is a very powerful tool. For those that install
a kernel to a new box using the config file from the distribution know that
it can take forever to compile the kernel.

Making a custom config file that will still boot your box, but bring
down the compile time of the kernel can be quit painful, and to ask
someone that reported a bug to do this can be a large burdon since that
person may not even know how to build a kernel.

This script will perform "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the
current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which
CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the
dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG.
Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is
not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. The output goes to
standard out.

Here's a way to run the script. From the Linux directory that holds
a distribution .config.

 $ scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl arch/x86/Kconfig > config-sl
 $ mv .config config-save
 $ mv config-sl .config
 $ make oldconfig

Now you have a .config that will still build all your modules, but also
take much less time to build the kernel.
