But there is code there trying to handle it. All that OUTPUT
related things must be removed if it's broken, right? Can I post
a patch?

Well, M=... at least includes all the makefiles.

I care about make install actually. But fixing it I had to deal
with OUTPUT. Looking a proper for that I found that it's a bit
broken.



kselftest supports install of all all tests and a sub-set of tests
both native and cross-builds.

Simple case:
If you want to build all tests and install to $HOME/install/
This has a dependency on kernel being built in the source repo
you are running the following install command from:

In Kernel source root dir run:
make kselftest-install O=$HOME/install

You will find installed tests with run script to run them all
under $HOME/install/kselftest/kselftest_install/

If you run run_kselftest.sh under kselftest_install, it will run
all the tests.

You can use TARGETS var to build a sub-set of tests.

In Kernel source root dir run:
make kselftest-install TARGETS=bpf O=$HOME/install


Native or cross-build case when you are doing relocatable
builds.

arm64 cross-build:
# first do a relocatable kernel build in $HOME/arm64_build
make O=$HOME/arm64_build/ ARCH=arm64 HOSTCC=gcc \
            CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig

make O=$HOME/arm64_build/ ARCH=arm64 HOSTCC=gcc \
            CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all

# install selftests (all)
make kselftest-install O=$HOME/arm64_build ARCH=arm64 \
            HOSTCC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

# install selftests (just bpf)
make kselftest-install TARGETS=bpf O=$HOME/arm64_build ARCH=arm64 \
            HOSTCC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-


You will find kselftest installed under

$HOME/arm64_build/kselftest/kselftest_install

You can use the same procedure for native builds as well
assuming your native env. is x86_64

# first do a relocatable kernel build in $HOME/x86_64_build

make kselftest-install TARGETS=bpf O=$HOME/x86_64_build

You will find kselftest installed under

$HOME/x86_64_build/kselftest/kselftest_install

It is on todo to update the documentation. :(
