[PATCH v2] [PATCH] perf build: Specify that shellcheck should use the bash dialect.
From: Collin Funk
Date: Mon Jun 23 2025 - 22:06:34 EST
When someone has a global shellcheckrc file, for example at
~/.config/shellcheckrc, with the directive 'shell=sh', building perf
will fail with many shellcheck errors like:
In tests/shell/base_probe/test_adding_kernel.sh line 294:
(( TEST_RESULT += $? ))
^---------------------^ SC3006 (warning): In POSIX sh, standalone ((..)) is undefined.
For more information:
https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC3006 -- In POSIX sh, standalone ((..)) is...
make[5]: *** [tests/Build:91: tests/shell/base_probe/test_adding_kernel.sh.shellcheck_log] Error 1
Passing the '-s bash' option ensures that it runs correctly regardless
of a developers global configuration.
This patch adds '-s bash' to the SHELLCHECK variable in Makefile.perf
and makes use of the variable consistently.
