scripts/tkgen.c generates the middle part of the tcl/tk script kconfig.tk
from the various config.in's; kconfig.tk is then used by make xconfig.
In xconfig, it is not possible to select "Kernel/User netlink socket"
(under Networking options) unless "IP: Advanced Router" is also
selected. The reason for this bug is that the line
if [ "$CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER" = "y" ]; then
define_bool CONFIG_RTNETLINK y
define_bool CONFIG_NETLINK y
in net/ipv4/Config.in is not translated properly into tcl.
The procedure update_define in kconfig.tk handles conditional
define_bool's; it should not unconditionally set every variable to 0
since the variable may have been set to 1 elsewhere.
Here's the patch:
