Merge branch 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild
Pull kconfig updates from Michal Marek: "This is the kconfig part of kbuild for v3.12-rc1: - post-3.11 search code fixes and micro-optimizations - CONFIG_MODULES is no longer a special case; this is needed to eventually fix the bug that using KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG breaks allmodconfig - long long is used to store hex and int values - make silentoldconfig no longer warns when a symbol changes from tristate to bool (it's a job for make oldconfig) - scripts/diffconfig updated to work with newer Pythons - scripts/config does not rely on GNU sed extensions" * 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kconfig: do not allow more than one symbol to have 'option modules' kconfig: regenerate bison parser kconfig: do not special-case 'MODULES' symbol diffconfig: Update script to support python versions 2.5 through 3.3 diffconfig: Gracefully exit if the default config files are not present modules: do not depend on kconfig to set 'modules' option to symbol MODULES kconfig: silence warning when parsing auto.conf when a symbol has changed type scripts/config: use sed's POSIX interface kconfig: switch to "long long" for sanity kconfig: simplify symbol-search code kconfig: don't allocate n+1 elements in temporary array kconfig: minor style fixes in symbol-search code kconfig/[mn]conf: shorten title in search-box kconfig: avoid multiple calls to strlen Documentation/kconfig: more concise and straightforward search explanation
