Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patch set extensively revamps selftests/bpf's Makefile to generalize test runner concept and apply it uniformly to test_maps and test_progs test runners, along with test_progs' few build "flavors", exercising various ways to build BPF programs. As we do that, we fix dependencies between various phases of test runners, and simplify some one-off rules and dependencies currently present in Makefile. test_progs' flavors are now built into root $(OUTPUT) directory and can be run without any extra steps right from there. E.g., test_progs-alu32 is built and is supposed to be run from $(OUTPUT). It will cd into alu32/ subdirectory to load correct set of BPF object files (which are different from the ones built for test_progs). Outline: - patch #1 teaches test_progs about flavor sub-directories; - patch #2 fixes one of CO-RE tests to not depend strictly on process name; - patch #3 changes test_maps's usage of map_tests/tests.h to be the same as test_progs' one; - patch #4 adds convenient short `make test_progs`-like targets to build only individual tests, if necessary; - patch #5 is a main patch in the series; it uses a bunch of make magic (mainly $(call) and $(eval)) to define test runner "skeleton" and apply it to 4 different test runners, lots more details in corresponding commit description; - patch #6 does a bit of post-clean up for test_queue_map and test_stack_map BPF programs; - patch #7 cleans up test_libbpf.sh/test_libbpf_open superseded by test_progs. v3->v4: - remove accidentally checked in binaries; v2->v3: - drop test_xdp.o mixed compilation mode, remove test_libbpf.sh (Alexei); v1->v2: - drop test_progs-native causing compilation failures due to __builtin_preserve_field_access, add back test_xdp.o override, which will now emit rule re-definition warning. ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
