Port silent mode detection to the future (post make-4.4) versions of gnu make. Makefile contains the following piece of make code to detect if option -s is specified on the command line. ifneq ($(findstring s,$(filter-out --%,$(MAKEFLAGS))),) This code is executed by make at parse time and assumes that MAKEFLAGS does not contain command line variable definitions. Currently if the user defines a=s on the command line, then at build only time MAKEFLAGS contains " -- a=s". However, starting with commit dc2d963989b96161472b2cd38cef5d1f4851ea34 MAKEFLAGS contains command line definitions at both parse time and build time. This '-s' detection code then confuses a command line variable definition which contains letter 's' with option -s. $ # old make $ make net/wireless/ocb.o a=s CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh DESCEND objtool $ # this a new make which defines makeflags at parse time $ ~/src/gmake/make/l64/make net/wireless/ocb.o a=s $ We can see here that the letter 's' from 'a=s' was confused with -s. This patch checks for presence of -s using a method recommended by the make manual here https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Testing-Flags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
