When BPF selftests are built in RELEASE=1 mode with -O2 optimization level, uprobe_multi binary, called from multi-uprobe tests is optimized to the point that all the thousands of target uprobe_multi_func_XXX functions are eliminated, breaking tests. So ensure they are preserved by using weak attribute. But, actually, compiling uprobe_multi binary with -O2 takes a really long time, and is quite useless (it's not a benchmark). So in addition to ensuring that uprobe_multi_func_XXX functions are preserved, opt-out of -O2 explicitly in Makefile and stick to -O0. This saves a lot of compilation time. With -O2, just recompiling uprobe_multi: $ touch uprobe_multi.c $ time make RELEASE=1 -j90 make RELEASE=1 -j90 291.66s user 2.54s system 99% cpu 4:55.52 total With -O0: $ touch uprobe_multi.c $ time make RELEASE=1 -j90 make RELEASE=1 -j90 22.40s user 1.91s system 99% cpu 24.355 total 5 minutes vs (still slow, but...) 24 seconds.
