[PATCH bpf] selftests: bpf: fix makefile dependencies on libbpf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When building bpf selftest with make -j, I'm randomly getting build failures
such as this one:

> In file included from progs/bpf_flow.c:19:
> [...]/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/bpf/bpf_helpers.h:11:10: fatal error: 'bpf_helper_defs.h' file not found
> #include "bpf_helper_defs.h"
>          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The file that fails the build varies between runs but it's always in the
progs/ subdir.

The reason is a missing make dependency on libbpf for the .o files in
progs/. There was a dependency before commit 3ac2e20fba07e but that commit
removed it to prevent unneeded rebuilds. However, that only works if libbpf
has been built already; the 'wildcard' prerequisite does not trigger when
there's no bpf_helper_defs.h generated yet.

Keep the libbpf as an order-only prerequisite to satisfy both goals. It is
always built before the progs/ objects but it does not trigger unnecessary
rebuilds by itself.

Fixes: 3ac2e20fba07e ("selftests/bpf: BPF object files should depend only on libbpf headers")
