aszlig f19c961b4e linux-testing: Fix arg list too long in modinst ... With the default kernel and thus with the build I have tested in 74ec94bfa2, we get an error during modules_install: make[2]: execvp: /nix/store/.../bin/bash: Argument list too long I haven't noticed this build until I actually tried booting using this kernel because make didn't fail here. The reason this happens within Nix and probably didn't yet surface in other distros is that programs only have a limited amount of memory available for storing the environment and the arguments. Environment variables however are quite common on Nix and thus we stumble on problems like this way earlier - in this case Linux 4.8 - but I have noticed this in 4.7-next as well already. The fix is far from perfect and suffers performance overhead because we now run grep for every *.mod file instead of passing all *.mod files into one single invocation of grep. But comparing the performance overhead (around 1s on my machine) with the overall build time of the kernel I think the overhead really is neglicible.
