[PATCH] kbuild: make -s should be used with kernelrelease/kernelversion/image_name

From: Michal Marek
Date: Fri Jul 11 2014 - 10:13:53 EST


If .config has been edited, there will be a silentoldconfig run:

$ make defconfig
...
$ make kernelrelease
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
3.16.0-rc1+

Recently, kbuild started to print the name of the build directory when
using O=

$ make O=build kernelrelease
make[1]: Entering directory `/dev/shm/mmarek/linux-2.6/build'
3.16.0-rc1+

Since these targets are often used in scripts, add a hint to use make -s
to the help text.
