[PATCH] init/Kconfig: Fix break in middle of EXPERT menu
From: Josh Triplett
Date: Mon May 11 2015 - 14:15:06 EST
Commit e1abf2cc8d5 ("bpf: Fix the build on BPF_SYSCALL=y &&
!CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more configurable") made BPF_SYSCALL no
longer hidden with !EXPERT, but left it in the middle of the EXPERT
menu. menuconfig stops putting config items under a submenu once it
encounters an item that doesn't depend on the menu's config item, so
this caused the remainder of the EXPERT menu to spill out into the
containing menu around it. Fix by moving BPF_SYSCALL before the EXPERT
menu, next to BPF.

Ingo, do you want to take this through -tip? Or should this go through some
other tree?
I'm also thinking about splitting the entire EXPERT menu into a separate
Kconfig.expert and including it from init/Kconfig, to make it clear that
everything in that menu should only be visible if EXPERT. Right now, the long
EXPERT menu blends into the longer init/Kconfig, and issues like this happen
every few kernel releases.
