4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de
commit 5d06ee20b662a78417245714fc576cba90e6374f upstream.
When a user calls 'make -s', we can assume they don't want to see any output except for warnings and errors, but instead they see this for a warning free build:
### ### Now generating an X.509 key pair to be used for signing modules. ### ### If this takes a long time, you might wish to run rngd in the ### background to keep the supply of entropy topped up. It ### needs to be run as root, and uses a hardware random ### number generator if one is available. ### Generating a 4096 bit RSA private key .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................++ ..............................................................................................................................++ writing new private key to 'certs/signing_key.pem' ----- ### ### Key pair generated. ###
The output can confuse simple build testing scripts that just check for an empty build log.
This patch silences all the output: - "echo" is changed to "@$(kecho)", which is dropped when "-s" gets passed - the openssl command itself is only printed with V=1, using the $(Q) macro - The output of openssl gets redirected to /dev/null on "-s" builds.
