[ Upstream commita278f3d819] The '&&' command seems to have a bad effect when $(cmd_$(1)) exits with non-zero effect: the command failure is masked (despite `set -e`) and all but the first command of $(dep-cmd) is executed (successfully, as they are mostly printfs), thus overall returning 0 in the end. This means in practice that despite compilation errors, tools's build Makefile will return success. We see this very reliably with libbpf's Makefile, which doesn't get compilation error propagated properly. This in turns causes issues with selftests build, as well as bpftool and other projects that rely on building libbpf. The fix is simple: don't use &&. Given `set -e`, we don't need to chain commands with &&. The shell will exit on first failure, giving desired behavior and propagating error properly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
