samples/bpf not working?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, building the bpf samples isn't working.
Running make from the directory 'samples/bpf' will just shows following
result without compiling any samples.

$ make
make -C ../../ /git/linux/samples/bpf/ BPF_SAMPLES_PATH=/git/linux/samples/bpf
make[1]: Entering directory '/git/linux'
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  DESCEND  objtool
make[1]: Leaving directory '/git/linux'
$ ls *kern.o
ls: cannot access '*kern.o': No such file or directory

By using 'git bisect', found the problem is derived from below commit.
commit 394053f4a4b3 ("kbuild: make single targets work more correctly")

Not familiar with kbuild, so I'm not sure why this led to build failure.
My humble guess is, samples/bpf/Makefile tries to run make from current
directory, 'sample/bpf', but somehow upper commit changed the way it works.

samples/bpf/Makefile:232
# Trick to allow make to be run from this directory
all:
        $(MAKE) -C ../../ $(CURDIR)/ BPF_SAMPLES_PATH=$(CURDIR)

I've tried to figure out the problem with 'make --trace', but not sure why
it's not working. Just a hunch with build directory.

Any ideas to fix this problem?
