[ Upstream commit 77a92660d8fe8d29503fae768d9f5eb529c88b36 ]
expr_trans_bool() performs an incorrect transformation.
[Test Code]
config MODULES def_bool y modules
config A def_bool y select C if B != n
config B def_tristate m
config C tristate
[Result]
CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_A=y CONFIG_B=m CONFIG_C=m
This output is incorrect because CONFIG_C=y is expected.
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst clearly explains the function of the '!=' operator:
If the values of both symbols are equal, it returns 'n', otherwise 'y'.
Therefore, the statement:
select C if B != n
should be equivalent to:
select C if y
Or, more simply:
select C
Hence, the symbol C should be selected by the value of A, which is 'y'.
However, expr_trans_bool() wrongly transforms it to:
select C if B
Therefore, the symbol C is selected by (A && B), which is 'm'.
The comment block of expr_trans_bool() correctly explains its intention:
* bool FOO!=n => FOO ^^^^
If FOO is bool, FOO!=n can be simplified into FOO. This is correct.
However, the actual code performs this transformation when FOO is tristate:
if (e->left.sym->type == S_TRISTATE) { ^^^^^^^^^^
While it can be fixed to S_BOOLEAN, there is no point in doing so because expr_tranform() already transforms FOO!=n to FOO when FOO is bool. (see the "case E_UNEQUAL" part)
expr_trans_bool() is wrong and unnecessary.
