I guess that's because it's a prerequisite and we have a target that puts all prerequisites when calling CC: test_progs: a.c b.c tests.h gcc a.c b.c tests.h -o test_progs So gcc compiles each input file. I'm not actually sure why default dependency system that uses 'gcc -M' is not working for us (see scripts/Kbuild.include) and we need to manually add tests.h dependency.

That's your call, but I'm not sure what's uglier: complicating already complex make rules or making a header self contained. > > > Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@xxxxxx> > > > --- > > > tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile | 6 +++--- > > > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > > > > > diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile > > > index 11c9c62c3362..bb66cc4a7f34 100644 > > > --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile > > > +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile > > > @@ -235,7 +235,7 @@ PROG_TESTS_H := $(PROG_TESTS_DIR)/tests.h > > > PROG_TESTS_FILES := $(wildcard prog_tests/*.c) > > > test_progs.c: $(PROG_TESTS_H) > > > $(OUTPUT)/test_progs: CFLAGS += $(TEST_PROGS_CFLAGS) > > > -$(OUTPUT)/test_progs: test_progs.c $(PROG_TESTS_H) $(PROG_TESTS_FILES) > > > +$(OUTPUT)/test_progs: test_progs.c $(PROG_TESTS_FILES) | $(PROG_TESTS_H) > > > $(PROG_TESTS_H): $(PROG_TESTS_FILES) | $(PROG_TESTS_DIR) > > > $(shell ( cd prog_tests/; \ > > > echo '/* Generated header, do not edit */'; \ > > > @@ -256,7 +256,7 @@ MAP_TESTS_H := $(MAP_TESTS_DIR)/tests.h > > > MAP_TESTS_FILES := $(wildcard map_tests/*.c) > > > test_maps.c: $(MAP_TESTS_H) > > > $(OUTPUT)/test_maps: CFLAGS += $(TEST_MAPS_CFLAGS) > > > -$(OUTPUT)/test_maps: test_maps.c $(MAP_TESTS_H) $(MAP_TESTS_FILES) > > > +$(OUTPUT)/test_maps: test_maps.c $(MAP_TESTS_FILES) | $(MAP_TESTS_H) > > > $(MAP_TESTS_H): $(MAP_TESTS_FILES) | $(MAP_TESTS_DIR) > > > $(shell ( cd map_tests/; \ > > > echo '/* Generated header, do not edit */'; \ > > > @@ -277,7 +277,7 @@ VERIFIER_TESTS_H := $(VERIFIER_TESTS_DIR)/tests.h > > > VERIFIER_TEST_FILES := $(wildcard verifier/*.c) > > > test_verifier.c: $(VERIFIER_TESTS_H) > > > $(OUTPUT)/test_verifier: CFLAGS += $(TEST_VERIFIER_CFLAGS) > > > -$(OUTPUT)/test_verifier: test_verifier.c $(VERIFIER_TESTS_H) > > > +$(OUTPUT)/test_verifier: test_verifier.c | $(VERIFIER_TEST_FILES) $(VERIFIER_TESTS_H) > > > $(VERIFIER_TESTS_H): $(VERIFIER_TEST_FILES) | $(VERIFIER_TESTS_DIR) > > > $(shell ( cd verifier/; \ > > > echo '/* Generated header, do not edit */'; \ > > > -- > > > 2.17.1 > > >
