Subject: [PATCH 0/3] remove undocumented type definition alias

This patchset removes support for the undocumented type definition keyword
'boolean', that is used in some config option definitions, in favor of the
much more widely used 'bool'. Both are semantically equivalent.

% git grep -w bool -- '*Kconfig*' | wc -l
7065
% git grep -w boolean -- '*Kconfig*' | wc -l
94

Having this alias is more confusing than helpful.

This change was suggested by Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@...hat.com>.


Patch 3/3 is purely cosmetic and therefore optional.

Christoph Jaeger (3):
  kconfig: regenerate parser
  kconfig: remove undocumented type definition alias 'boolean'
  kconfig: rename S_BOOLEAN to S_BOOL for consistency
