Linus Torvalds Injects Tabs To Thwart Kconfig Parsers Not Correctly Handling Them
- Linus Torvalds added hidden tabs to Kconfig to challenge parsers that can't handle them.
- Tabs were intentionally added to the common Kconfig file for page sizes to expose faulty parsers.
- Torvalds believes parsers unable to handle tabs shouldn't be parsing kernel Kconfig files, aiming to force fixes.
