Subject: kbuild: escape meta characters in regular expression in make TAGS
From: Masatake YAMATO <yamato@xxxxxxxxxx>
Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> introduced a change which adds
menuconfig SOMETHING in Kconfig to tags output when you did "make tags".
See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=80ff26241623875636674a31c0540a78c0fb5433
"make tags" may work fine with his code. However make TAGS doesn't work well
because etags command requires backslashes to escape meta characters like `(',
`)' and `|'.
Here is a patch.
