[ 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
