Björn, I think I figured out the cause of the issue, but some details and a proper solution are unclear yet. In generated %.test.d makefiles some dependencies (in particular %.skel.h) are referred to by filename as opposed to full path. For example: $ cat /output/foo/kselftest/bpf/cpuv4/atomics.test.d /output/foo/kselftest/bpf/cpuv4/atomics.test.o: \ /opt/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/atomics.c \ [...] /opt/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/trace_helpers.h \ /opt/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/testing_helpers.h atomics.lskel.h \ # <-- THIS /output/foo/kselftest/bpf/tools/include/bpf/skel_internal.h \ /output/foo/kselftest/bpf/tools/include/bpf/bpf.h This is of course a problem, because make needs to know how to build a target with this exact name. And in the patch it was (partially) solved by this piece: +# When the compiler generates a %.d file, only skel basenames (not +# full paths) are specified as prerequisites for corresponding %.o +# file. This target makes %.skel.h basename dependent on full paths, +# linking generated %.d dependency with actual %.skel.h files. +$(notdir %.skel.h): $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/%.skel.h + @true This links %.skel.h to /output/foo/kselftest/bpf/no_alu32/%.skel.h and alike. Your build is breaking because there is no such rule for %.lskel.h and %.subskel.h, which are trivial to add: --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile @@ -628,6 +628,12 @@ $(TRUNNER_BPF_SKELS_LINKED): $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/%: $$$$(%-deps) $(BPFTOOL) | $(TR $(notdir %.skel.h): $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/%.skel.h @true +$(notdir %.lskel.h): $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/%.lskel.h + @true + +$(notdir %.subskel.h): $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/%.subskel.h + @true + endif With this change a command below completed for me in the environment you shared: $ make -j \$((\$(nproc)-1)) O=/output/foo TARGETS=bpf SKIP_TARGETS="" KSFT_INSTALL_PATH=/output/foo/kselftest -C tools/testing/selftests install What is a mystery to me is why this was not an issue for simple `make -C tool/testing/selftests/bpf`. And also why in the environment I tried yesterday I didn't get the failure you're seeing. Do you happen to have a Dockerfile of ghcr.io/linux-riscv/pw-builder ? If possible, I'd like to look at it and compare with my local environment. The other issue that I'll have to think about is the unnecessary re-builds that you've noticed. I suspect this happens due to the same reason: a generated dependency on X.skel.h can't find a file in current directory (because it was put to /output/foo), and so rebuild is triggered. I'll have to come up with a workaround. Björn, please try a change suggested above and let me know if it helps. I will investigate these problems more, and there will definitely be a follow up patch.
