ktest.pl: Prevent recursion of default variable options
[ 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.
