When reading .config input, Kconfig stores user-provided values first
and then resolves the final value after applying dependencies, ranges,
and other constraints.
If the final value differs from the user input, Kconfig already tracks
that state internally, but it does not provide a focused diagnostic to
show which explicit inputs were adjusted. This is particularly confusing
for requested values that get forced down by unmet dependencies or
clamped by ranges.
Add an opt-in diagnostic controlled by KCONFIG_WARN_CHANGED_INPUT. Emit
the warnings from conf_write() and conf_write_defconfig() after value
resolution. Print the diagnostic to stderr directly, not through the
normal message callback, so it remains visible when conf is run with -s,
such as from make -s.
Keep the diagnostic out of the conf_message() formatting buffer so long
warning lists are not truncated, and mark processed symbols as written
before the SYMBOL_WRITE check so duplicate menu nodes cannot emit
duplicate warnings.
Document the new environment variable and add tests for olddefconfig,
savedefconfig, and the silent-conf path.

The kconfig test harness ("make testconfig") was generating BrokenPipeError
warnings when running interactive tests like oldaskconfig and oldconfig:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_pytest/unraisableexception.py:85: PytestUnraisableExceptionWarning: Exception ignored in: <_io.BufferedWriter name=12>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/srv/code/scripts/kconfig/tests/conftest.py", line 127, in oldaskconfig
return self._run_conf('--oldaskconfig', dot_config=dot_config,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
interactive=True, in_keys=in_keys)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
The issue occurred when the test framework attempted to write to stdin
after the conf subprocess had already exited.
Wrap stdin write operations in try/except to catch BrokenPipeError and
stop sending more input. Add explicit flush() after writes so we can see
delivery errors immediately. Ignore BrokenPipeError when closing stdin.
Explicitly call wait() to validate subprocess termination.

This will help get consistent results for randconfig tests.

"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.
This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.
It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.

Many parts in Kconfig are so cryptic and need refactoring. However,
its complexity prevents us from moving forward. There are several
naive corner cases where it is difficult to notice breakage. If
those are covered by unit tests, we will be able to touch the code
with more confidence.
Here is a simple test framework based on pytest. The conftest.py
provides a fixture useful to run commands such as 'oldaskconfig' etc.
and to compare the resulted .config, stdout, stderr with expectations.
How to add test cases?
----------------------
For each test case, you should create a subdirectory under
scripts/kconfig/tests/ (so test cases are separated from each other).
Every test case directory should contain the following files:
- __init__.py: describes test functions
- Kconfig: the top level Kconfig file for the test
To do a useful job, test cases generally need additional data like
input .config and information about expected results.
How to run tests?
-----------------
You need python3 and pytest. Then, run "make testconfig". O= option
is supported. If V=1 is given, detailed logs captured during tests
are displayed.
