[PATCH 5.1 074/121] kbuild: tar-pkg: enable communication with jobserver

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 24 2019 - 06:17:41 EST


[ Upstream commit a6e0487709ded7cd1ba0c390d9771e5cb76a8453 ]

The buildtar script might want to invoke a make, so tell the parent
make to pass the jobserver token pipe to the subcommand by prefixing
the command with a +.

This addresses the issue seen here:

/bin/sh ../scripts/package/buildtar tar-pkg
make[3]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add '+' to parent make rule.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Job-Slots.html
for more information.
