Commit 1ccb27143360 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and "Implied by:"
readable") made an incredible improvement in how reverse dependencies
are perceived by the user, by breaking down the single (often
interminable) expression string into small readable chunks.
Even so, what happens in practice when reading the reverse
dependencies is that 80-90% of the OR sub-expressions simply don't
matter, since they evaluate to [=n].
Assuming commit 617aebe6a97e ("Merge tag 'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64
and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 30 of CONFIG options with
the highest amount of OR sub-expressions that make up the final
"{Selected,Implied} by" reverse dependency expression.
| Config | Revdep all | Revdep ![=n] |
|-------------------------------|------------|--------------|
| REGMAP_I2C | 212 | 9 |
| CRC32 | 167 | 25 |
| FW_LOADER | 128 | 5 |
| MFD_CORE | 124 | 9 |
| FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT | 114 | 2 |
| FB_CFB_COPYAREA | 111 | 2 |
| FB_CFB_FILLRECT | 110 | 2 |
| SND_PCM | 103 | 2 |
| CRYPTO_HASH | 87 | 19 |
| WATCHDOG_CORE | 86 | 6 |
| IRQ_DOMAIN | 75 | 19 |
| SERIAL_CORE | 75 | 9 |
| PHYLIB | 74 | 16 |
| REGMAP_MMIO | 72 | 15 |
| GENERIC_PHY | 67 | 20 |
| DMA_ENGINE | 66 | 11 |
| SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE | 64 | 9 |
| CRYPTO_BLKCIPHER | 64 | 13 |
| PINMUX | 60 | 17 |
| CRYPTO | 59 | 10 |
| MII | 58 | 8 |
| GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP | 58 | 9 |
| MFD_SYSCON | 58 | 15 |
| VIDEOBUF2_DMA_CONTIG | 46 | 4 |
| REGMAP_IRQ | 45 | 6 |
| REGMAP_SPI | 44 | 2 |
| CLKSRC_MMIO | 42 | 5 |
| SND_SOC_GENERIC_DMAENGINE_PCM | 41 | 3 |
| CRYPTO_SHA1 | 37 | 2 |
| REGMAP | 36 | 4 |
The story behind the above is that we still need to visually
review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C
in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select
REGMAP_I2C, for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.
This patch attempts to bring at user's fingertips those reverse
dependencies that actually participate in selection of given symbol
filtering out the rest of them.

Hello,
One downside to this is that people might expect e.g. the '?'
menuconfig screen to list all the selecting symbols and use it as a
reference.
The best solution IMO would be to have a separate "Currently selected
by:" section on that screen, listing just the non-n selects. The
simpler next best thing would be to just replace the "Selected by:"
heading with "Currently selected by:", to make it clear that it
includes just the active selects.
For the most-selected symbols you listed, most of them end up as "m"
on my system by the way, because they come from drivers compiled in as
modules. "n" is the minority. Might want to check that most of the
ones with a million selects aren't like that, because it might not be
that hard to see what's going on for those anyway.
I used a similar approach in
https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/blob/master/kconfiglib.py#L3022
by the way. I was always a bit worried that all the expression
simplification shenanigans going on in the C implementation might mess
with an approach like that, but it seems fine in practice. :)
Cheers,
Ulf

Thanks for trying to improve my change.
Applying your patch, running
$ ARCH=arm64 make defconfig && ARCH=arm64 make menuconfig
and searching for USB prints "Selected by:" with nothing actually selected.
Kind regards,
Petr

Hello,
I implemented the behavior I had in mind. With this patch, REGMAP_I2C
shows up as follows:
Symbol: REGMAP_I2C [=y]│
Type : tristate│
Defined at drivers/base/regmap/Kconfig:19
Depends on: I2C [=y]
Currently selected by:
- RTC_I2C_AND_SPI [=y] && RTC_CLASS [=y] && I2C [=y]
- USB_HSIC_USB3503 [=y] && USB_SUPPORT [=y] && USB [=y] && I2C [=y]
- SND_SOC [=y] && SOUND [=y] && !UML && SND [=y] && I2C [=y]
- DRM_I2C_ADV7511 [=m] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM [=m] && DRM_BRIDGE
[=y] && OF [=y]
- REGULATOR_FAN53555 [=y] && REGULATOR [=y] && I2C [=y]
- MFD_SEC_CORE [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && I2C [=y]=y
- MFD_RK808 [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && I2C [=y] && OF [=y]
- MFD_MAX77620 [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && I2C [=y]=y && (OF [=y] ||
COMPILE_TEST [=n])
- SENSORS_INA2XX [=m] && HWMON [=y] && I2C [=y]
All selecting symbols:
- PWM_PCA9685 [=n] && PWM [=y] && I2C [=y]
- SX9500 [=n] && IIO [=y] && I2C [=y]

- HP03 [=n] && IIO [=y] && I2C [=y]
- BMP280_I2C [=n] && IIO [=y] && BMP280 [=n] && I2C [=y]
...
USB shows up as:
Symbol: USB [=y]
Type : tristate
Prompt: Support for Host-side USB
Location:
-> Device Drivers
(1) -> USB support (USB_SUPPORT [=y])
Defined at drivers/usb/Kconfig:38
Depends on: USB_SUPPORT [=y] && USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD [=y]
Selects: USB_COMMON [=y] && NLS [=y]
Currently selected by:
No symbols
All selecting symbols:
- DRM_UDL [=n] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM [=m] && USB_SUPPORT [=y] &&

- IR_IGUANA [=n] && RC_DEVICES [=y] && USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD [=y] && RC_CORE [=m]
- IR_IGORPLUGUSB [=n] && RC_DEVICES [=y] && USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD [=y] &&
RC_CORE [=m]
- IR_STREAMZAP [=n] && RC_DEVICES [=y] && USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD [=y] &&
RC_CORE [=m]
...
What do you think about this behavior? Tell me if you spot any bugs.
While working on the patch, I thought I had a regression where a
reverse dependency of just a single symbol showed up without a leading
" - ", hence the slight overengineering. On a second look, I think
the original patch also did that though. It's arguable whether that's
actually a bug, but now it always prints the " - ".
I don't have access to Mutt at the moment, and GMail's web interface
mangles patches, so I'll attach the patch.
If you go with something similar, you could add a Suggested-by:.
Cheers,
Ulf

Agreed. See my proposals below.

One certain thing is that with below two categories, some reverse
dependencies would be printed twice:
- "Currently selected by" - showing non-n expressions.
- "Selected by" - showing both non-n and n expressions.
To avoid the duplicates, I would think about (naming could be improved):
- "Actively selected by" or "Currently selected by"
- "Inactively selected by" or "Passively selected by"
- "Actively implied by" or "Currently implied by"
- "Inactively implied by" or "Passively implied by"
I do believe that before proceeding with any further alternative
implementations, we better first agree that the above way to print the
reverse dependencies is fine for everybody.

Replying specifically to your `it might not be that hard to see what's
going on for those anyway`, I do believe that for certain configs
it is a pain to visually identify the meaningful (i.e.
non-n) reverse dependencies when there are tens or hundreds of them.
Getting this information directly from Kbuild (instead of computing it
externally, either by hand or scripted) was my main motivation and
driving factor behind sharing the patch.

Can't wait to put my hands on Kconfiglib. Thanks for sharing!

I think the behavior is correct. All expressions that select USB
translate/evaluate to =n. CONFIG_USB is enabled in the arm64 defconfig.

Looks good to me. Could go with something like "Current active (m/y)
selects" and "Current inactive (n) selects" maybe, to make it super
clear.

Consider that a before-coffee comment. It's clearly pretty helpful
even for those "obvious" cases. I had missed those ARM stats. :)

Might gain some features that make it viable as a full C
implementation replacement soon, if some stuff pans out. It's always
been more of an auxiliary library. Apparently the C implementation is
a bit of a PITA on Windows.

I like this approach too. The only downside I see for not doing
explicit classification/break-down is that you will still have to
scroll through 212 Selected-by entries of REGMAP_I2C to identify the 9
ones which evaluate to =y or =m.
Fortunately, there are not so many symbols like REGMAP_I2C, so it will
most lilkely not bother anybody.
I'll make a sketch/proposal in the next days. But if anybody is
impatient about implementing this himself, I don't mind.
Thanks for your replies.
Best regards,
Eugeniu.

Yeah, I like the grouping feature too, with the m/y selects listed
separately from the n selects. That'd be helpful both when trying to
figure why a particular symbol is being selected, and when trying to
figure why it isn't being selected, both of which are probably pretty
common.

Though I guess it wouldn't matter for the not-selected case. Many
cases where it'd be helpful still I think.

...even there, it'd make it immediately obvious that the symbol isn't
