[ Upstream commit ab09da75700e9d25c7dfbc7f7934920beb5e39b9 ]
Building the kernel with O= is affected by stale in-tree build artifacts.
So, if the source tree is not clean, Kbuild displays the following:
$ make ARCH=um O=build defconfig make[1]: Entering directory '/.../linux/build' *** *** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=um mrproper' *** in /.../linux *** make[2]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:673: outputmakefile] Error 1 make[1]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/.../linux/build' make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
Usually, running 'make mrproper' is sufficient for cleaning the source tree for out-of-tree builds.
However, building UML generates build artifacts not only in arch/um/, but also in the SUBARCH directory (i.e., arch/x86/). If in-tree stale files remain under arch/x86/, Kbuild will reuse them instead of creating new ones under the specified build directory.
This commit makes 'make ARCH=um clean' recurse into the SUBARCH directory.
