[ Upstream commit 61f7e318e99d3b398670518dd3f4f8510d1800fc ]

If a default variable contains itself, do not recurse on it.

For example:

  ADD_CONFIG := ${CONFIG_DIR}/temp_config
  DEFAULTS
  ADD_CONFIG = ${CONFIG_DIR}/default_config ${ADD_CONFIG}

The above works because the temp variable ADD_CONFIG (is a temp because it
is created with ":=") is already defined, it will be substituted in the
variable option. But if it gets commented out:

  # ADD_CONFIG := ${CONFIG_DIR}/temp_config
  DEFAULTS
  ADD_CONFIG = ${CONFIG_DIR}/default_config ${ADD_CONFIG}

Then the above will go into a recursive loop where ${ADD_CONFIG} will
get replaced with the current definition of ADD_CONFIG which contains the
${ADD_CONFIG} and that will also try to get converted. ktest.pl will error
after 100 attempts of recursion and fail.

When replacing a variable with the default variable, if the default
variable contains itself, do not replace it.

In the case of a test that uses the special option ${KERNEL_VERSION} in one
of its settings but has no configuration available in ${OUTPUT_DIR}, for
example if it's a new empty directory, then the `make kernelrelease` call
will fail and the subroutine will chomp an empty string, silently. Fix that
by adding an empty configuration and retrying.

<title>ktest.pl: Avoid false positives with grub2 skip regex</title>

Some distros have grub2 config files with the lines

    if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
      menuentry_id_option="--id"
    else
      menuentry_id_option=""
    fi

which match the skip regex defined for grub2 in get_grub_index():

    $skip = '^\s*menuentry';

These false positives cause the grub number to be higher than it
should be, and the wrong kernel can end up booting.

Grub documents the menuentry command with whitespace between it and the
title, so make the skip regex reflect this.

The test type "make_warnings_file" should have no mandatory configuration
parameters other than the ones required by the "build" test type, because
its purpose is to create a file with build warnings that may or may not be
used by other subsequent tests. Currently, the only way to use it as a
stand-alone test is by setting POWER_CYCLE, CONSOLE, SSH_USER,
BUILD_TARGET, TARGET_IMAGE, REBOOT_TYPE and GRUB_MENU.
