Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 19:55:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-213587@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112195427.3411746-6-sashal@kernel.org>
> Add a "Kernel selftests" sub-menu with one entry per selftests directory
> that builds with only a C library and does not write into the source
> tree. Each is built as "make kselftest-all" builds it, with KHDR_INCLUDES
> pointing at the UAPI headers installed in the object tree, but by its own
> make, so the selected ones build in parallel. Selftests whose Makefile
> does not use KHDR_INCLUDES still build against the C library's copy of
> the UAPI headers.
>
> As with "make kselftest-all", a selftest that fails to build does not
> fail the build unless FORCE_TARGETS is set. kselftest_deps.sh then lists
> the libraries the selftest needs that the compiler cannot link with.
>
> The selftests do not track header dependencies, so a selftest is built
> again from scratch when its own directory, a header or makefile any
> selftest may share, or the kernel sources and headers it includes (the
> vDSO test includes the architecture's vDSO code) are newer than its last
> build.
>
> Selftests that need libraries beyond the C library, a vmlinux with BTF,
> or a sanitizer runtime are left out for now.
