Building selftests in a separate directory like this: make O="$BUILD" -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf and then running: cd "$BUILD" && ./test_progs -t btf causes all the non-flavored btf_dump_test_case_*.c tests to fail, because these files are not copied to where test_progs expects to find them. Fix by not skipping EXT-COPY when the original $(OUTPUT) is not empty (lib.mk sets it to $(shell pwd) in that case) and using rsync instead of cp: cp fails because e.g. urandom_read is being copied into itself, and rsync simply skips such cases. rsync is already used by kselftests and therefore is not a new dependency.

Fix by making EXT-COPY conditional again, but this time skip it only for non-flavored in-srctree builds. tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile index 044bfdcf5b74..a81af15e4ded 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile @@ -382,11 +382,12 @@ $(TRUNNER_EXTRA_OBJS): $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/%.o: \ $$(call msg,EXT-OBJ,$(TRUNNER_BINARY),$$@) $(Q)$$(CC) $$(CFLAGS) -c $$< $$(LDLIBS) -o $$@ -# only copy extra resources if in flavored build +# non-flavored in-srctree builds receive special treatment, in particular, we +# do not need to copy extra resources (see e.g. test_btf_dump_case()) $(TRUNNER_BINARY)-extras: $(TRUNNER_EXTRA_FILES) | $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT) -ifneq ($2,) +ifneq ($2:$(OUTPUT),:$(shell pwd)) $$(call msg,EXT-COPY,$(TRUNNER_BINARY),$(TRUNNER_EXTRA_FILES)) - $(Q)cp -a $$^ $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/ + $(Q)rsync -aq $$^ $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/ endif $(OUTPUT)/$(TRUNNER_BINARY): $(TRUNNER_TEST_OBJS) \ -- 2.29.2
