[ Upstream commit aabdc960a283ba78086b0bf66ee74326f49e218e ]
Currently, comparisons to 'm' or 'n' result in incorrect output.
[Test Code]
config MODULES
def_bool y
modules
config A
def_tristate m
config B
def_bool A > n
CONFIG_B is unset, while CONFIG_B=y is expected.
The reason for the issue is because Kconfig compares the tristate values
as strings.
Currently, the .type fields in the constant symbol definitions,
symbol_{yes,mod,no} are unspecified, i.e., S_UNKNOWN.
When expr_calc_value() evaluates 'A > n', it checks the types of 'A' and
'n' to determine how to compare them.
The left-hand side, 'A', is a tristate symbol with a value of 'm', which
corresponds to a numeric value of 1. (Internally, 'y', 'm', and 'n' are
represented as 2, 1, and 0, respectively.)
The right-hand side, 'n', has an unknown type, so it is treated as the
string "n" during the comparison.
expr_calc_value() compares two values numerically only when both can
have numeric values. Otherwise, they are compared as strings.
symbol numeric value ASCII code
-------------------------------------
y 2 0x79
m 1 0x6d
n 0 0x6e
'm' is greater than 'n' if compared numerically (since 1 is greater
than 0), but smaller than 'n' if compared as strings (since the ASCII
code 0x6d is smaller than 0x6e).
Specifying .type=S_TRISTATE for symbol_{yes,mod,no} fixes the above
test code.
Doing so, however, would cause a regression to the following test code.
[Test Code 2]
config MODULES
def_bool n
modules
config A
def_tristate n
config B
def_bool A = m
You would get CONFIG_B=y, while CONFIG_B should not be set.
The reason is because sym_get_string_value() turns 'm' into 'n' when the
module feature is disabled. Consequently, expr_calc_value() evaluates
'A = n' instead of 'A = m'. This oddity has been hidden because the type
of 'm' was previously S_UNKNOWN instead of S_TRISTATE.
sym_get_string_value() should not tweak the string because the tristate
value has already been correctly calculated. There is no reason to
return the string "n" where its tristate value is mod.

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.
