Subject: [PATCH RESEND] rtla: Fix output files in source tree
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 18:24:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ahMmN4PdsJzr_Va-@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4786 bytes --]
Some output files (src/timerlat.bpf.o, src/timerlat.skel.h,
example/timerlat_bpf_action.o, tests/bpf/bpf_action_map.o) are
currently generated in the source tree, preventing a fully out-of-tree
build. To fix this:
- Add $(OUTPUT) to their filenames in the relevant Makefile rules, and
create subdirectories as needed
- Add $(OUTPUT)src to the include path
- Add ${OUTPUT} to the BPF object filename in tests/timerlat.t
Fixes: e34293ddcebd ("rtla/timerlat: Add BPF skeleton to collect samples")
Fixes: 0304a3b7ec9a ("rtla/timerlat: Add example for BPF action program")
Fixes: 5525aebd4e0c ("rtla/tests: Test BPF action program")
