From: Daniel Golle Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 19:32:18 +0000 (+0100) Subject: scripts/jobserver-exec: propagate child exit status X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=28019885a3fff013a3e3d0b4d2cd9df41e95658a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git scripts/jobserver-exec: propagate child exit status main() called JobserverExec().run() and discarded its return value, then the script exited with the implicit status 0. As a result, any Makefile that wired a build step through jobserver-exec saw the step silently succeed even when the wrapped command had failed. Two in-tree callers were affected: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/Makefile cmd_chk_style runs a python checker via jobserver-exec and uses "&& touch $@ || true" so failures leave the stamp file untouched and the next make rerun reports them again. The swallowed exit code made the stamp file get created even on failure, caching the failed run and hiding the reported issues until the inputs change. scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o cmd_gen_initcalls_lds runs scripts/generate_initcall_order.pl via jobserver-exec; a perl failure was masked by the wrapper. Return the subprocess exit code from main() and pass it to sys.exit() so the wrapped command's status reaches make.
