Those configs are not new:
$ cat .config
...
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
...
CONFIG_BLOCK=y
...
But are tagged as NEW:
$ yes "" | make config > myconf
$ cat myconf | grep '(NEW)'
Namespaces support (NAMESPACES) [Y/?] (NEW) y
...
Enable the block layer (BLOCK) [Y/?] (NEW) y
...
You can also notice this bug when using gconfig/xconfig.
It's because the SYMBOL_DEF_USER bit of an invisible symbol is cleared
when the config file is read:
int conf_read(const char *name)
{
...
for_all_symbols(i, sym) {
if (sym_has_value(sym) && !sym_is_choice_value(sym)) {
/* Reset values of generates values, so they'll appear
* as new, if they should become visible, but that
* doesn't quite work if the Kconfig and the saved
* configuration disagree.
*/
if (sym->visible == no && !conf_unsaved)
sym->flags &= ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;
...
}
But a menu item which represents an invisible symbol is still
visible, if it's sub-menu is visible, so its SYMBOL_DEF_USER
bit should be set to indicate it's not NEW.

Without this patch, one has to refer to the Kconfig file to find
out the range of an integer/hex symbol.
│ Symbol: NR_CPUS [=4]
│ Type : integer
│ Range : [2 8]

This patch has been around for a long time in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux kernels and it may be useful for others. The nonint_oldconfig target
will fail and print the unset config options while loose_nonint_oldconfig will
simply let the config option unset. They're useful in distro kernel packages
where the config files are built using a combination of smaller config files.
Arjan van de Ven wrote the initial nonint_config and Roland McGrath added the
loose_nonint_oldconfig.

There's a button in gconfig to "Show all options", but I think

I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test
ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are
enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to
see if there is any config hidden.
I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options",
but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not
interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be
changed by users.
Exmaple:
--- Tracers
-*- Kernel Function Tracer
- - Kernel Function Graph Tracer
[*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer
- - Preemption-off Latency Tracer
[*] Sysprof Tracer
Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find
out how to make them selectable.

A symbol's value won't be recalc-ed until we save config file or
enter the menu where the symbol sits.
So If I enable OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, and search FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER:
Symbol: FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER [=y]
Prompt: Kernel Function Graph Tracer
Defined at kernel/trace/Kconfig:140
Depends on: ... [=y] && (!X86_32 [=y] || !CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE [=y])
...
From the dependency it should result in FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=n,
but it still shows FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y.

Minor perlcritic warning:
headerdep.pl: "return" statement with explicit "undef" at line 84, column 2. See page 199 of PBP. (Severity: 5)
The rationale according to PBP is that an explicit return of undef
(contrary to most people's expectations) doesn't
always evaluate as false. It has to with the fact that perl return value
depends on context the function is called. If function is used in
list context, the appropriate return value for false is an empty list;
whereas in scalar context the return value for false is undefined.
By just using a "return" both cases are handled.
In the context of a trivial script this doesn't matter. But one script
may be cut-paste into later code (most people like me only know 50%
of perl), that is why perlcritic always complains

Given that absolute paths can be forced by make O=. cscope, change the
default back to relative paths.
