stable inclusion from linux-4.19.203 commit 273a38908f0ce411f4cc61212233c0fbc089757c
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 28bbbb9875a35975904e46f9b06fa689d051b290 ]
When cross compiling a MIPS kernel on a BSD based HOSTCC leads to errors like
SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd - due to: .config egrep: empty (sub)expression UPD include/config/kernel.release HOSTCC scripts/dtc/dtc.o - due to target missing
It turns out that egrep uses this egrep pattern:
(|MINOR_|PATCHLEVEL_)
This is not valid syntax or gives undefined results according to POSIX 9.5.3 ERE Grammar
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html
It seems to be silently accepted by the Linux egrep implementation while a BSD host complains.
Such patterns can be replaced by a transformation like
"(|p1|p2)" -> "(p1|p2)?"
