Since commit3b9a19e089("kconfig: loop as long as we changed some symbols in randconfig"), conf_set_all_new_symbols() is repeated until there is no more choice left to be shuffled. The motivation was to shuffle a choice nested in another choice. Although commit09d5873e4d("kconfig: allow only 'config', 'comment', and 'if' inside 'choice'") disallowed the nested choice structure, we must still keep3b9a19e089because there are still cases where conf_set_all_new_symbols() must iterate. scripts/kconfig/tests/choice_randomize/Kconfig is the test case. The second choice depends on 'B', which is the member of the first choice. With3b9a19e089reverted, we would never get the pattern specified by scripts/kconfig/tests/choice_randomize/expected_config2. A real example can be found in lib/Kconfig.debug. Without3b9a19e089, the randconfig would not shuffle the "Compressed Debug information" choice, which depends on DEBUG_INFO, which is derived from another choice "Debug information". My goal is to refactor Kconfig so that randconfig will work more simply, without using the loop. For now, let's add a test case to ensure all dependent choices are shuffled, as it is a somewhat tricky case for the current Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
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 Restructured Text 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.
