Subject: [PATCH v2] backports: suppress errors from 'make kernelversion'
Date: Tue,  4 May 2021 23:12:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210504231203.d7b5b5ce71f7.I3aace2170f657561190f0473f2affafc850559b3@changeid> (raw)

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Since kernel 5.8, specifically commit 4d0831e8a029 ("kconfig: unify
cc-option and as-option"), 'make kernelversion' will call into the
Kconfig system, evaluating cc-option from scripts/Kconfig.include,
which requires a writable current working directory due to the use
of ".tmp_<pid>" for temporary files.

This was fixed upstream in commit 805b2e1d427a ("kbuild: include
Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed").

To work around it, pass M= as suggested here:
