[PATCH] kbuild: pahole-version: avoid errors if executing fails

From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Sun Jul 28 2024 - 08:55:46 EST


Like patch "rust: suppress error messages from
CONFIG_{RUSTC,BINDGEN}_VERSION_TEXT" [1], do not assume the file existing
and being executable implies executing it will succeed. Instead, bail
out if executing it fails for any reason.

For instance, `pahole` may be built for another architecture, may be a
program we do not expect or may be completely broken:

$ echo 'bad' > bad-pahole
$ chmod u+x bad-pahole
$ make PAHOLE=./bad-pahole defconfig
...
./bad-pahole: 1: bad: not found
init/Kconfig:112: syntax error
init/Kconfig:112: invalid statement
