[PATCH v5 09/31] kconfig: add 'shell' built-in function

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon May 28 2018 - 05:29:36 EST


This accepts a single command to execute. It returns the standard
output from it.

[Example code]

config HELLO
string
default "$(shell,echo hello world)"

config Y
def_bool $(shell,echo y)

[Result]

$ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 2 .config
CONFIG_HELLO="hello world"
CONFIG_Y=y

Caveat:
Like environments, functions are expanded in the lexer. You cannot
pass symbols to function arguments. This is a limitation to simplify
the implementation. I want to avoid the dynamic function evaluation,
which would introduce much more complexity.
