This patch makes it possible to have a first environment that will be
the base environment, secondary environment that will be pre-loaded and
have its variables passing through the whitelist "mask" to override
variables in the base environment.

The base environment will be the environment with the highest priority
(0 is highest) that can load and the next loadable environment will be
the secondary environment (with a lowest priority than the base
environment of course).

The whitelist "mask" is built with the content of space-separated list
of environment variables in ENV_VAR_WHITELIST_LIST in Kconfig.

This description seems to do what is already done in the "env import"
command.

It also allows for setting env variables from HUSH prompt.

Maybe it would be possible to re-use or extend it to suits your needs?


Best regards,

Didn't know that one, thanks.

It's pretty much everything I needed except the whitelisting of variables.

While it's possible for env export to take a list of variables to
export, for what I've seen, env import does not take a list of variables
to import.

It's needed since the env I'll import is unsafe. I'll have a look at
that and make an other RFC :)

Thanks for the review, very helpful,

Quentin
