Subject: [RFC PATCH bpf-next v5 4/8] selftests/bpf: generate the signing key and certificate once
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 10:01:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804170156.1709916-5-nickolay.lysenko@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804170156.1709916-1-nickolay.lysenko@gmail.com>
$(VERIFICATION_CERT) and $(PRIVATE_KEY) come from a single genkey
invocation, but a rule with two normal targets runs its recipe once
per stale target - under -j both runs execute concurrently and the
openssl invocations race on the same output files. Rewrite it as a
pattern rule: pattern rules with multiple targets are implicitly
grouped even before make 4.3 introduced grouped (&:) targets - the
same workaround the test_kmods rule already uses.
