v3 cover kconfig: warn of unhandled characters in Kconfig commands

This patchset changes the lexer file to emit a warning if any unhandled characters are found in the input. So far, Kconfig options like

+config FOO

    bool
    [...]

(note the wrong '+'!) were parsed without a warning. As simply adding a warning for '.' produces lots of warnings as occasionally '---help---' is used instead of 'help' (and thus '-' is recognized as an unhandled character), we need to handle '---help---' separately.

Changes to v1:
- add '---help---' in zconf.gperf instead of special casing it in zconf.l

Changes to v2:
- Do no constify char parameter to warn_ignored_character
- Shorten rule definitions for '.'

PATCH v3 1/2 kconfig: warn of unhandled characters in Kconfig commands

In Kconfig, definitions of options take the following form:
"<COMMAND> <PARAM> <PARAM> ...". COMMANDs and PARAMs are treated slightly different by the underlying parser.

While commit 2e0d737fc76f ("kconfig: don't silently ignore unhandled characters") introduced a warning for unsupported characters around PARAMs, it does not cover situations where a COMMAND has additional characters before it.

This change makes Kconfig emit a warning if superfluous characters are found before COMMANDs. As the 'help' statement sometimes is written as '---help---', the '-' character would now also be regarded as unhandled and generate a warning. To avoid that, '-' is added to the list of allowed characters, and the token '---help---' is included in the zconf.gperf file.

I think the quotes are redundant here, and tabs instead of spaces would be consistent with the other entries. Make sure everything lines up with 8-space tabstops.

PATCH v3 2/2 kconfig: Regenerate shipped zconf.{hash,lex}.c files

In reply to Andreas Ruprecht

Update the shipped files generated by flex and gperf to support the explicit use of "---help---" and to emit warnings for unsupported characters on COMMAND tokens.

As I could not find out which flex/gperf version was used to generate the previous version, I used flex 2.5.35 and gperf 3.0.4 from Ubuntu 14.04 - this also leads to the big number of changed lines in this patch.

This patchset changes the lexer file to emit a warning if any unhandled characters are found in the input. So far, Kconfig options like

+config FOO

    bool
    [...]

(note the wrong '+'!) were parsed without a warning. As simply adding a warning for '.' produces lots of warnings as occasionally '---help---' is used instead of 'help' (and thus '-' is recognized as an unhandled character), we need to handle '---help---' separately.

Changes to v1:
- add '---help---' in zconf.gperf instead of special casing it in zconf.l

Changes to v2:
- Do no constify char parameter to warn_ignored_character
- Shorten rule definitions for '.'

Looks good to me.

I ran the Kconfiglib test suite on it too. Since it simply compares the output of Kconfiglib and the C implementation, it doubles as a good regression test for the C implementation.

Cheers,
