This log message was accidentally chopped off.

I was wondering why this happened, but checking the ML log, Mark
precisely followed my suggestion [1].

I just used "..." because I was too lazy to type the sentence fully.
Sorry for the confusion.

<title>kbuild: fix empty ${PYTHON} in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh</title>

<id>099c22bdca406733c80f3d34ea2d2554bd15fb16</id>
<content type='text'>
The two commits

  d8d2d38275c1 ("kbuild: remove PYTHON variable")
  a8cccdd95473 ("init: lto: ensure initcall ordering")

were applied in the same development cycle, into two different trees.

After they were merged together, this ${PYTHON} expands to an empty
string.

Therefore, ${srctree}/scripts/jobserver-exec is executed directly.
(it has the executable bit set)

This is working but let's fix the code into the intended form.

<id>69304379ff036ce8ecf41efc2aeea4b29dd0c43f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, fixdep checks the return value from (v)printf(), but it does
not ensure the complete write to the .cmd file.

printf() just writes data to the internal buffer, which usually succeeds.
(Of course, it may fail for another reason, for example when the file
descriptor is closed, but that is another story.)

When the buffer (4k?) is full, an actual write occurs, and printf() may
really fail. One of typical cases is "No space left on device" when the
disk is full.

The data remaining in the buffer will be pushed out to the file when
the program exits, but we never know if it is successful.

One straight-forward fix would be to add the following code at the end
of the program.

   ret = fflush(stdout);
   if (ret &lt; 0) {
          /* error handling */
   }

However, it is tedious to check the return code in all the call sites
of printf(), fflush(), fclose(), and whatever can cause actual writes
to the end device. Doing that lets the program bail out at the first
failure but is usually not worth the effort.

Instead, let's check the error status from ferror(). This is 'sticky',
so you need to check it just once. You still need to call fflush().
