The quiet infrastructure was moved out of Makefile.build to accomidate the new syscall table generation scripts in perf. Syscall table generation wanted to also be able to be quiet, so instead of again copying the code to set the quiet variables, the code was moved into Makefile.perf to be used globally. This was not the right solution. It should have been moved even further upwards in the call chain. Makefile.include is imported in many files so this seems like a proper place to put it.

Nack. libbpf and bpftool are synced independently to github and released from there. This change breaks it.
Sorry, I overlooked this part and merged a change that touched the common files into the perf tree.
f2868b1a66d4f40f ("perf tools: Expose quiet/verbose variables in Makefile.perf")
Unfortunately, it's already in v6.14-rc1.
Can you explain how it breaks it? Currently bpftool and resolve_btfids don't build quietly so this was an attempt to fix that.
So I think you will need something like this for v6.14. Again, sorry about the trouble.
Just revert f2868b1a66d4f40f that created this mess.
Why are you opposed to unifying this helpers among the various projects in tools? Can you explain what about this breaks the Github syncing flow and why it cannot be resolved? It doesn't make sense to duplicate "Q=" in every Makefile anybody ever wants to add to tools just because bpf syncing isn't robust.
