Package: kernel-package
Version: 13.014+nmu1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/make-kpkg

Hello Manoj,

I get a  strange behaviour of the kernel build system but only while
running under make-kpkg.

Symptoms are: the builds starts like usual, various scripts are
run. Then, after a couple of minutes (probably when the module
build starts) the PC becomes slow and totally irresponsive because it
runs into heavy swap usage.

I watched it with top and ps (as long as it was still responding) and
what I see are hundreds of gcc calls, like calling "make -j" without
thread limit. But I checked the process command lines (only in the
beginning as long as I had a chance to suspend the process) and there
was no "j" in make calls anywhere.

And if I run "make -j2 bzImage modules" manually then it simply works as
expected. I have also suspected fakeroot first but remoing it didn't
change anything.

This happened with 3.18rc7 and 3.18. I have built 3.16-rc6 before (but
from tarball, not git) in the same laptop without such issues.

$CONCURRENCY_LEVEL is not set at all.

I hope you have an idea.

Regards,
Eduard.
