[ Upstream commit 91e6ee581270b8ae970f028b898314d73f16870b ]
$(filter -i,$(MAKEFLAGS)) works only in limited use-cases.
The representation of $(MAKEFLAGS) depends on various factors:
- GNU Make version (version 3.8x or version 4.x)
- The presence of other flags like -j
In my experiments, $(MAKEFLAGS) is expanded as follows:
* GNU Make 3.8x:
* without -j option:
--no-print-directory -Rri
* with -j option:
--no-print-directory -Rr --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j -i
* GNU Make 4.x:
* without -j option:
irR --no-print-directory
* with -j option:
irR -j --jobserver-fds=3,4 --no-print-directory
For GNU Make 4.x, the flags are grouped as 'irR', which does not work.
For the single thread build with GNU Make 3.8x, the flags are grouped
as '-Rri', which does not work either.
To make it work for all cases, do likewise as commit 6f0fa58e4596
("kbuild: simplify silent build (-s) detection").
BTW, since commit ff9b45c55b26 ("kbuild: modpost: read modules.order
instead of $(MODVERDIR)/*.mod"), you also need to pass -k option to
build final *.ko files. 'make -i -k' ignores compile errors in modules,
and build as many remaining *.ko as possible.
Please note this feature is kind of dangerous if other modules depend
on the broken module because the generated modules will lack the correct
module dependency or CRC. Honestly, I am not a big fan of it, but I am
keeping this feature.
Fixes: eed380f3f593 ("modpost: Optionally ignore secondary errors seen if a single module build fails")
