[PATCH 1/2] Revert "kconfig: qconf: don't show goback button on splitMode"

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sat Aug 01 2020 - 03:09:27 EST


This reverts commit cc1c08edccaf5317d99a17a3231fe06381044e83.

Maxim Levitsky reports 'make xconfig' crashes since that commit
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/18/411)

Or, the following is simple test code that makes it crash:

menu "Menu"

config FOO
bool "foo"
default y

menuconfig BAR
bool "bar"
depends on FOO

endmenu

Select the Split View mode, and double-click "bar" in the right window,
then you will see Segmentation fault.

When 'last' is not set for symbolMode, the following code in
ConfigList::updateList() calls firstChild().

item = last ? last->nextSibling() : firstChild();

However, ConfigList::firstChild() does not seem to return a (ConfigItem *)
capable pointer, which seems another bug.

Moreover, we should reconsider whether hiding the goback icon is the
right thing to do.

In the following test code, the Split View shows "Menu2" and "Menu3" in
the right window. You can descend into "Menu3", but there is no way to
ascend back to "Menu2" from "Menu3".

menu "Menu1"

config FOO
bool "foo"
default y

menu "Menu2"
depends on FOO

menu "Menu3"

config BAZ
bool "baz"

endmenu

endmenu

endmenu

It is true that the goback button is currently not functional due to yet
another bug, but hiding the problem is not the right way to go.

Anyway, Segmentation fault is rather fatal. Revert the offending commit
for now, and we should find the right solution.
