Usage:
Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts.
Quote Tim Bird:
| I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often

| always go through a sequence of searching for the
| function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's
| completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
|
| 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.
I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options",
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
- - Kernel Function Graph Tracer
[*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer
- - Preemption-off Latency Tracer
[*] Sysprof Tracer
Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find
out how to make them selectable.

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses
replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).
Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look
interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel,
form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is
currently distributed with the kernel.

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text
includes the names of all other options the option in question depends
on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list
without scrolling horizontally.
This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word
boundaries to prevent truncating.
Tested by running
ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build
which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and
ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build
to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

Kconfig is powerfull tool. So powerfull that more and more software
projects are using it for configuration. So instead of fixing some of
them one by one, lets fix it in kernel and wait for sync.
This work was originaly done for PTXdist - GPL licensed build system for
userlands and cross-compilers, but it will not hurt kernel kconfig
either. PTXdist menuconfig now works on Windows linked with PDCurses and
compiled using MinGW - there is no termios and signals.
* Do not include <sys/wait.h> and <signal.h> (comes from times when
lxdialog was separate process)
* Do not mess with termios directly and let curses tell screen size.
Comment to commit c8dc68ad0f says
check for screen size could be removed later, but because it didn't
happen for more than year I left it here as well.
* Save cursor position added by Sam

menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select'
directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'. Unfortunately the same
notation is used for comments. If the implied option is module capable,
user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she
visits option's help. (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling
CFG80211)
This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2
new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by
another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for
options that cannot be at the moment changed by user.
The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes)
around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.

Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree. Look at the floppy disk
icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active
state.
Mouse click on it: .config is being saved.
This patch series changes things so taht
after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out.
If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens.
If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state",
that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written.
This patch:
Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state.
All read only accesses of
sym_change_count
are replaced by calls to
conf_get_changed()
.
mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when
conf_get_changed() returned true.

<ESC><ESC> is used to step one back in the dialogs.
When lxdialog became built-in pressing <ESC> once would cause one step back
and pressing <ESC><ESC> would cause two steps back.
This patch - based on concept from Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> -
makes one <ESC> a noop and pressing <ESC><ESC> will cause one step backward.
In addition the final yes/no dialog now has the option to go back to the
the kernel configuration. So if you get too far out you can now go back
to configuring the kernel without saving and starting all over again.

lxdialog was previously called as an external program causing screen
to flicker when used. With this patch lxdialog is now built-in.
It is loosly based om previous work by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>
Following is a list of changes:
o Moved build of dialog routings to kconfig Makefile
o menubox + checklist uses a new item list to hold all menu items
o in util.c implmented helper function to deal with item list
o menubox now uses parameters to save scroll state (avoids temp file)
o textbox now get text to be displayed as parameter and not a file
o make sure to properly delete subwin's before main windows
o killed unused files: lxdialog.c msgbox.c
o modified return value for ESC to match direct calling
o in a few places the code has been adjusted to 80 char wide
o in textbox a small refactoring was made to make code remotely readable
o in mconf removed all unused stuff (functions/variables)
Following is a list of know short comings:
a) pressing ESC twice will be interpreted as two ESC presses
b) resize does not work. menuconfig needs to be restarted to be adjusted

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.
No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.
Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:
LANG= make menuconfig
is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.
Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:
http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes
To start the translation process:
make update-po-config
This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.
To test your translation, as root issue this command:
msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po
Replace "es" with your language code.
Then execute, for instance:
make menuconfig
The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.
Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.
I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
