2024-05-09	kbuild,bpf: Switch to using --btf_features for pahole v1.26 and later	Alan Maguire	1	-2/+13
	The btf_features list can be used for pahole v1.26 and later - it is useful because if a feature is not yet implemented it will not exit with a failure message. This will allow us to add feature requests to the pahole options without having to check pahole versions in future; if the version of pahole supports the feature it will be added.

2023-10-28	kbuild: avoid too many execution of scripts/pahole-flags.sh	Masahiro Yamada	1	-0/+19
	scripts/pahole-flags.sh is executed so many times. You can confirm it, as follows: $ cat <<EOF >> scripts/pahole-flags.sh > echo "scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed" >&2 > EOF $ make -s scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed [ lots of repeated lines... ] This scripts is executed more than 20 times during the kernel build because PAHOLE_FLAGS is a recursively expanded variable and exported to sub-processes. With GNU Make >= 4.4, it is executed more than 60 times because exported variables are also passed to other $(shell ) invocations. Without careful coding, it is known to cause an exponential fork explosion. [1] The use of $(shell ) in an exported recursive variable is likely wrong because $(shell ) is always evaluated due to the 'export' keyword, and the evaluation can occur multiple times by the nature of recursive variables. Convert the shell script to a Makefile, which is included only when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y.
