      kconfig: fix make oldconfig · 14828349

       This seems to make "make oldconfig" a _lot_ more verbose than it

       I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4
       ("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that
       thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but
       actively breaks them.
      
      The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident.  Fix
      this so we are back to the version that are silent if there is nothing
      to ask about.

      Fix init ordering of /dev/console vs callers of modprobe · 31d1d48e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
      invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
      /dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.
      
      The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
      initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
      modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
      module.
      
      This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
      log:
      
      	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
      	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
      	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
      	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
      	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
      
      This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
      the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
      The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
      'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.
      
      Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

      KEYS: request_key() should return -ENOKEY if the constructed key is negative · 1e456a12
      David Howells 提交于
      request_key() should return -ENOKEY if the key it constructs has been
      negatively instantiated.
      
      Without this, request_key() can return an unusable key to its caller,
      and if the caller then does key_validate() that won't catch the problem.
