kbuild: Mark the gzip recipes as recursive
Since commit 48ebe1cbbeb51 ("kbuild: compress the kernel with pigz if available"), cmd_gzip runs pigz through scripts/jobserver-exec, which takes the job slots make has free. GNU Make passes the jobserver pipe only to recipes it treats as recursive, but leaves --jobserver-auth in MAKEFLAGS for all of them. The make 4.3 in CentOS Stream 9 also hides the pipe in sub-makes (a backport of the fix for GNU Make bug 58232), so jobserver-exec cannot open it, runs pigz on one thread, and prints: WARNING: Unable to reopen jobserver read-side pipe: FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory') Mark every recipe that can run cmd_gzip as recursive with "+", as commit ecab4115c44cc ("kbuild: mark `rustc` (and others) invocations as recursive") did for rustc. Besides the $(call if_changed,gzip) rules, this covers those that choose gzip through a variable: the built-in initramfs in usr/Makefile (which rcutorture's kvm.sh builds), the EFI zboot image, and the arm, csky, and mips compressed images. As with rustc, "make -n" now runs these recipes, including those that choose through a variable when they select another compressor. Also update the gzip entry in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst, as suggested in review. Tested with GNU Make 4.3 plus CentOS Stream 9's make-4.3-cloexec.patch, GCC 16.2.0, and -j64, on ARCH=x86_64, arm64, and arm defconfig, and ARCH=x86_64 defconfig with a built-in initramfs: none of them prints the warning, and pigz gets the free job slots (-p 54, 64, and 50 for the kernel image). Without this change, the x86_64 builds print it for the kernel image and for the initramfs. Reported-by: Paul E.
