When building with 'make -s', there is some output from resolve_btfids: $ make -sj"$(nproc)" oldconfig prepare MKDIR .../tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/libbpf/ MKDIR .../tools/bpf/resolve_btfids//libsubcmd LINK resolve_btfids Silent mode means that no information should be emitted about what is currently being done. Use the $(silent) variable from Makefile.include to avoid defining the msg macro so that there is no information printed. Fixes: fbbb68de80a4 ("bpf: Add resolve_btfids tool to resolve BTF IDs in ELF object") Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This should apply to either bpf or bpf-next so no subject prefix. I would prefer it goes in sooner rather than later but I'll leave that up to you all. tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile b/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile index 9ddeca947635..320a88ac28c9 100644 --- a/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile +++ b/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile @@ -9,7 +9,11 @@ ifeq ($(V),1) msg = else Q = @ - msg = @printf ' %-8s %s%s\n' "$(1)" "$(notdir $(2))" "$(if $(3), $(3))"; + ifeq ($(silent),1) + msg = + else + msg = @printf ' %-8s %s%s\n' "$(1)" "$(notdir $(2))" "$(if $(3), $(3))"; + endif MAKEFLAGS=--no-print-directory endif base-commit: 26291c54e111ff6ba87a164d85d4a4e134b7315c -- 2.35.1
