Pass the value of make's -j/--jobs argument to pahole, to avoid out of memory errors and make pahole respect the "jobs" value of make. On systems with little memory but many cores, invoking pahole using -j without argument potentially creates too many pahole instances, causing an out-of-memory situation. Instead, we should pass make's "jobs" value as an argument to pahole's -j, which is likely configured to be (much) lower than the actual core count on such systems. If make was invoked without -j, either via cmdline or MAKEFLAGS, then JOBS will be simply empty, resulting in the existing behavior, as expected. Signed-off-by: Florian Schmaus <flo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
