[PATCH 00/12] selftests: Miscellaneous fixes

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Mon Jan 14 2019 - 08:52:00 EST


Hi all,

This patch series contains several build fixes and cleanups for issues I
encountered when trying to cross-build an rtctest binary in a separate
output directory (like I use for all my kernel builds).

Most patches are independent. Exceptions are:
- Patch 3 depends on patch 2,
- Patch 7 depends on patch 6,
- Patch 11 depends on patches 2 and 3,

This has been tested with native (amd64):
- make kselftest-build
- make -C tools/testing/selftests
- make O=/tmp/kselftest kselftest-build
- make O=/tmp/kselftest -C tools/testing/selftests
and cross-builds (arm):
- make kselftest-build (from a separate output directory).

Known remaining issues (not introduced by this patch series):
- tools/lib/bpf fails to build in some cases (cfr.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAMuHMdXRN=mSKTjZNBSxQi-pkgSrKqeANxD-GB+hqC8pDjx7nQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/),
- tools/gpio is not always built correctly,
- When building in a separate output directory, there are still files
created in the source directory under:
- arch/x86/include/generated/,
- arch/x86/tools/,
- include/generated/uapi/linux,
- scripts (fixdep and unifdef),
- Some tests may fail to find the installed header files,
- There may be^H^H^H^H^H^Hare more.

Thanks for your comments!
