kbuild: rust-analyzer: better error handling
1) Provide a better error message for the "Rust not available" case. Without this patch, one gets various misleading messages, such as: "No rule to make target 'rust-analyzer'" Instead, run scripts/rust_is_available.sh directly, as a prerequisite, and let that script report the cause of any problems, as well as providing a link to the documentation. Thanks to Miguel Ojeda for the idea of just letting rust_is_available.sh report its results directly. The new output in the failure case looks like this: $ make rust-analyzer *** *** Rust compiler 'rustc' could not be found. *** *** *** Please see Documentation/rust/quick-start.rst for details *** on how to set up the Rust support. *** make[1]: *** [/kernel_work/linux-github/Makefile:1975: rust-analyzer] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:240: __sub-make] Error 2 Reviewed-by: Finn Behrens <me@kloenk.dev> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Tested-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Signed-off-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240628004356.1384486-2-jhubbard@nvidia.com [ Reworded title. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
