The cmd-check macro compares $(cmd_$@) and $(cmd_$1), but a pitfall is
that you cannot use cmd_<target> as the variable name for the command.
For example, the following code will not work in the top Makefile
or ./Kbuild.
quiet_cmd_foo = GEN $@
cmd_foo = touch $@
targets += foo
foo: FORCE
$(call if_changed,foo)
In this case, both $@ and $1 are expanded to 'foo', so $(cmd_check)
is always empty.
We do not need to use the same prefix for cmd_$@ and cmd_$1.
Rename the former to savedcmd_$@.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
