[PATCH v3 10/11] Documentation: kselftest: "make headers" is a prerequisite

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

 



As per a discussion with Muhammad Usama Anjum [1], the following is how
one is supposed to build selftests:

    make headers && make -C tools/testing/selftests/mm

However, that's not yet documented anywhere. So add it to
Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst .
