From: Chris Down <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2a67a6ccb01f21b854715d86ff6432a18b97adb3 ] When trying to compile with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled, I got this error: % make -s Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF make[3]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Compiling again without -s shows the true error (that pahole is missing), but since this is fatal, we should show the error unconditionally on stderr as well, not silence it using the `info` function. With this patch: % make -s BTF: .tmp_vmlinux.btf: pahole (pahole) is not available Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF make[3]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Chris Down <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@xxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200122000110.GA310073@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/link-vmlinux.sh | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh index 4363799403561..408b5c0b99b1b 100755 --- a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh +++ b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh @@ -108,13 +108,13 @@ gen_btf() local bin_arch if !
