[ Upstream commit 5384cc0d1a88c27448a6a4e65b8abe6486de8012 ]
When getting kernel version via make, the result may be polluted by other
output, like directory change info. e.g.
$ export MAKEFLAGS="-w"
$ make kernelversion
make: Entering directory '/home/net'
6.8.0
make: Leaving directory '/home/net'
This will distort the reStructuredText output and make latter rst2man
failed like:
[...]
bpf-helpers.rst:20: (WARNING/2) Field list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
[...]
Using silent mode would help. e.g.
$ make -s --no-print-directory kernelversion
6.8.0
Fixes: fd0a38f9c37d ("scripts/bpf: Set version attribute for bpf-helpers(7) man page")

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.
