buildman: Detect Kconfig loops
Hex and int Kconfig options are supposed to have defaults. This is so we
can configure U-Boot without having to enter particular values for the
items that don't have specific values in the board's defconfig file.
If this rule is not followed, then introducing a new Kconfig can produce
a loop like this:
Break things (BREAK_ME) [] (NEW)
Error in reading or end of file.
Break things (BREAK_ME) [] (NEW)
Error in reading or end of file.
The continues forever since buildman passes /dev/null to 'conf', and
the build system just tries again. Eventually there is so much output that
buildman runs out of memory.
We can detect this situation by looking for a symbol (like 'BREAK_ME')
which has no default (the '[]' above) and is marked as new. If this
appears multiple times in the output, we know something is wrong.
Add a filter function for the output which detects this situation. Allow
it to return True to terminate the process. Implement this termination in
cros_subprocess.
With this we get a nice message:
buildman --board sandbox -T0

+(** did you define an int/hex Kconfig with no default? **)
