Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: use a pipe rather than process substitution
Date:   Fri, 10 Jun 2022 23:34:52 +0200

From: Alvin Šipraga <alsi@bang-olufsen.dk>

Bash process substitution of the form `foo < <(bar)`, as found in
scripts/check-local-export, can cause issues in chrooted environments
and with tools such as pseudo. The blamed commit started to cause build
errors for me when using the Yocto project's devshell environment;
devshell uses pseudo internally:

.../scripts/check-local-export: line 51: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory

Replace the process substitution with a simple pipe into the while loop.
This is functionally equivalent and more portable than the former. Note
that pipefail is enabled so that the script terminates when ${NM} fails.

Fixes: 31cb50b5590f ("kbuild: check static EXPORT_SYMBOL* by script instead of modpost")
