scripts/pahole-flags.sh is executed so many times.
You can confirm it, as follows:
$ cat <<EOF >> scripts/pahole-flags.sh
> echo "scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed" >&2
> EOF
$ make -s
scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed
scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed
scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed
scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed
scripts/pahole-flags.sh was executed
[ lots of repeated lines... ]
This scripts is executed more than 20 times during the kernel build
because PAHOLE_FLAGS is a recursively expanded variable and exported
to sub-processes.
With GNU Make >= 4.4, it is executed more than 60 times because
exported variables are also passed to other $(shell ) invocations.
Without careful coding, it is known to cause an exponential fork
explosion. [1]
The use of $(shell ) in an exported recursive variable is likely wrong
because $(shell ) is always evaluated due to the 'export' keyword, and
the evaluation can occur multiple times by the nature of recursive
variables.
Convert the shell script to a Makefile, which is included only when
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y.
