[PATCH 0/3] kbuild: don't print DESCEND messages from tools/ build

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 00:57:50 EST


kbuild itself does not print the directories it descends into, the
tools/ build however does so. When kbuild executes the tools/ build
these messages are out of place.

Forward kbuild's behavior to the tools/ build:
Nothing is printed by default, the full command is printed with V=1.
