Masahiro Yamada 9ced3bddec kconfig: support user-defined function and recursively expanded variable
Now, we got a basic ability to test compiler capability in Kconfig.

config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
        def_bool $(shell,($(CC) -Werror -fstack-protector -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null 2>/dev/null) && echo y || echo n)

This works, but it is ugly to repeat this long boilerplate.

We want to describe like this:

config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
        bool
        default $(cc-option,-fstack-protector)

It is straight-forward to add a new function, but I do not like to
hard-code specialized functions like that.  Hence, here is another
feature, user-defined function.  This works as a textual shorthand
with parameterization.

A user-defined function is defined by using the = operator, and can
be referenced in the same way as built-in functions.  A user-defined
function in Make is referenced like $(call my-func,arg1,arg2), but I
omitted the 'call' to make the syntax shorter.

The definition of a user-defined function contains $(1), $(2), etc.
in its body to reference the parameters.  It is grammatically valid
to pass more or fewer arguments when calling it.  We already exploit
this feature in our makefiles; scripts/Kbuild.include defines cc-option
which takes two arguments at most, but most of the callers pass only
one argument.

By the way, a variable is supported as a subset of this feature since
a variable is "a user-defined function with zero argument".  In this
context, I mean "variable" as recursively expanded variable.  I will
add a different flavored variable in the next commit.

The code above can be written as follows:

[Example Code]

  success = $(shell,($(1)) >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo y || echo n)
  cc-option = $(success,$(CC) -Werror $(1) -E -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null)

  config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
          def_bool $(cc-option,-fstack-protector)

[Result]
  $ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 1 .config
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR=y

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
