+
+Hi,
+
+This patch adds 'make menuconfig' support to EGLIBC.
+
+
+EGLIBC can re-use the Linux kernel kconfig host tools ('conf' and 'mconf') unmodified, by passing appropriate environment variables and with some pre- and post-processing on the input/output config files.
+
+There are three new make targets supported, which all are defined in the new libc/options-config/Makefile, which is included by the top-level libc/Makefile:
+
+- 'make defconfig'. This passes 'libc/option-groups.defaults' to 'conf' as a default config, and outputs 'option-groups.config' to the top-level build directory, which will be the same as the default config.
+
+- 'make config'. This is the same line-oriented interface as in the Linux kernel. Input and output is 'option-groups.config' in the top-level build directory.
+
+- 'make menuconfig'. This is the same menu-based interface as in the Linux kernel. Input and output is 'option-groups.config' in the top-level build directory.
+
+
+Pre-Processing:
+
+
+The Linux kernel kconfig tools expect a prefix of "CONFIG_" on all config option names, but EGLIBC expects a prefix of "OPTION_". The pre-processing script, libc/options-config/config-preproc.pl, simply replaces "CONFIG_ with "OPTION_" in the given config file. The libc/options-config/Makefile passes the script output to a temporary config file, which is then passed to 'conf' or 'mconf'.
+
+Post-Processing (libc/options-config/config-postproc.pl):
+
+
+- Disabled options are output as a comment line of the form "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". This needs to be changed to an explicit "CONFIG_FOO=n" in order to be compatible with 'option-groups.awk' which generates the option-groups.h header.
+
+- "CONFIG_" prefix is changed back to "OPTION_".
+
+
+- The kconfig tools will not output anything for options that depend on a parent option, when the parent option is disabled. This implicit disable must be converted to an explicit "CONFIG_FOO=n" in order to be compatible with the way EGLIBC overrides the default option settings in 'libc/option-groups.defaults' with those in 'option-groups.config'.
+
+
+A new configure option, '--with-kconfig=<PATH>', tells EGLIBC where to find the pre-built 'conf' and 'mconf' host tools from Linux kernel builds.
+
+libc/EGLIBC.cross-building is updated to include instructions for using '--with-kconfig' for the final EGLIBC build, and shows how and when to run 'make *config'.
+
+libc/EGLIBC.option-groups is updated to include new information on the menuconfig support.
+
+Thanks,
+
+attached is the updated patch to address above issues.

++Note the additional '--with-kconfig' option. This tells EGLIBC where to
++find the host config tools used by the kernel 'make config' and 'make
++menuconfig'.  These tools can be re-used by EGLIBC for its own 'make
++*config' support, which will create 'option-groups.config' for you.
++But first make sure those tools have been built by running some
++dummy 'make *config' calls in the kernel directory:
++
++    $ cd $obj/linux
++    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make config \
++    >      ARCH=$linux_arch CROSS_COMPILE=$target- \
++    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make menuconfig \
++    >      ARCH=$linux_arch CROSS_COMPILE=$target- \
++
++Now we can configure and build the full EGLIBC:
++
++    $ cd $obj/eglibc
++    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make defconfig
++    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make menuconfig
+     $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make
+     $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make install install_root=$sysroot

+-At the moment, EGLIBC performs no sanity checks on the contents of
+-'option-groups.config'; if an option group's name is mistyped, the
+-option group is silently included in the build.  EGLIBC should check
+-that all variables set in 'option-groups.config' are proper option
+-group names, and that their values are appropriate.
+-
+-Some portions of EGLIBC depend on others; for example, the Sun Remote
+-Procedure Call functions in 'sunrpc' depend on the networking
+-functions in 'inet'.  The sanity checking described above should check
+-that the selection configuration satisfies dependencies within EGLIBC,
+-and produce a legible error message if it does not.  At the moment,
+-inconsistent configurations produce link errors late in the build
+-process.
+-
+-The Linux kernel's configuration system provides interactive
+-interfaces for creating and modifying configuration files (which also
+-perform the sanity checking and dependency tracking described above).

+Upstream-Status: Pending
+Signed-off-by: Khem
+
+
+This patch builds on the menuconfig patch for EGLIBC.
+
+
+There are a few options that have non-boolean types, that would benefit from the new 'make *config' support:
+
+EGLIBC_MEMUSAGE_DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE (int)
+EGLIBC_NSSWITCH_FIXED_CONFIG (string)
+EGLIBC_NSSWITCH_FIXED_FUNCTIONS (string)
+
+
+The patch converts these to real options in libc/option-groups.def. Also, libc/scripts/option-groups.awk is modified to output a '#define' line for int, hex, or string options encountered in the config file.
+
+In the post-processing script config-postproc.pl, a small change is needed: for any boolean option FOO that is implicitly disabled in the kconfig output, make sure that option is indeed a boolean before printing the explicit OPTION_FOO=n.
+
+Finally, libc/malloc/Makefile passes __OPTION_EGLIBC_MEMUSAGE_DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE as a CPPFLAGS, which is not necessary anymore because this macro will now be present in the generated header.
+
+attached is the updated patch to address above issues.

+
+As part of the menuconfig development, I encountered some outdated information in the cross-build instructions, libc/EGLIBC.cross-building. This patch updates the file with new (and tested) instructions. It is unrelated to the menuconfig support, but applies after.
+
+My testing was done with an ARM target, and an x86_64 Linux host, so I converted the instructions to use those host/target types from the original i686/powerpc. Hope that's ok.
