Subject: [net-next PATCH V4 4/5] samples/bpf: allow make to be run from samples/bpf/ directory
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:21:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160428122109.16807.59535.stgit@firesoul> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160428121949.16807.84828.stgit@firesoul>

It is not intuitive that 'make' must be run from the top level
directory with argument "samples/bpf/" to compile these eBPF samples.

Introduce a kbuild make file trick that allow make to be run from the
"samples/bpf/" directory itself.  It basically change to the top level
directory and call "make samples/bpf/" with the "/" slash after the
directory name.

Also add a clean target that only cleans this directory, by taking
advantage of the kbuild external module setting M=$PWD.
