BTW, I've found another path to make selftest in Makefile, Actually you can do make -C tools/ selftest And there are selftest_install and selftest_clean targets (but currently it has a bug and doesn't work, anyway) I think we'd better do subdir make instead of adding these targets. This means that "make kselftest*" should be an alias of "make -C tools/ selftest*" Also, I'd like to request passing some options like as O=$(objtree) so that we can make test kmodules in selftests.
