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
