According to the documentation, when building a kernel with the C=2 parameter, all source files should be checked. But this does not happen for the kernel/bpf/ directory. $ touch kernel/bpf/core.o $ make C=2 CHECK=true kernel/bpf/core.o Outputs: CHECK scripts/mod/empty.c CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh DESCEND objtool INSTALL libsubcmd_headers CC kernel/bpf/core.o As can be seen the compilation is done, but CHECK is not executed. This happens because kernel/bpf/Makefile has defined its own rule for compilation and forgotten the macro that does the check. There is no need to duplicate the build code, and this rule can be removed to use generic rules.
