Subject: tracing: Create output file from cmd_check_undefined
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=057caace5214da3b457bbd295e1a2ad34d3685ea;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

tracing: Create output file from cmd_check_undefined

As the output file is currently never created, the check will run every
time, even if the inputs have not changed.

Create an empty output file which allows make to skip the execution when
it is not necessary.
