[ Upstream commit8a4c5b2a6d] The 'shell' built-in only returns the first 256 bytes of the command's output. In some cases, 'shell' is used to return a path; by bumping up the buffer size to 4096 this lets us capture up to PATH_MAX. The specific case where I ran into this was due to commit1e860048c5("gcc-plugins: simplify GCC plugin-dev capability test"). After this change, we now use `$(shell,$(CC) -print-file-name=plugin)` to return a path; if the gcc path is particularly long, then the path ends up truncated at the 256 byte mark, which makes the HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS depends test always fail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
