Hi Marcos,

Sorry for the late reply on this, but I'm reviewing this version by
trying to retrofit it into our selftest packaging (pre-build the test
module .ko's and stash those into an rpm rather than building on the
test host).

Since $TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR is treated as a directory, I found that the
selftest install target copies a bunch of intermediate object and kbuild
files:

  $ mkdir /tmp/test-install
  $ make KDIR=$(pwd) INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/test-install TARGETS=livepatch \
       -C tools/testing/selftests/ install

  [ ... builds livepatch selftests ... ]

the rsync in question:

  rsync -a --copy-unsafe-links /home/jolawren/src/kernel/tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules /tmp/test-install/livepatch/
  ...

and then looking at the destination:

  $ tree -a /tmp/test-install/
  /tmp/test-install/

  │   ├── prefix.pl
  │   └── runner.sh

  │   │   ├── .test_klp_atomic_replace.o.cmd
  ...

On the other hand, variables like $TEST_GEN_FILES specify individual
files, so only final binaries like test_klp-call_getpid (and not
test_klp-call_getpid.c) are copied to $INSTALL_PATH.

Since the selftest module builds appear to ignore
CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_* the smallest tweak I can think of to avoid the
above scenario is:

  --- a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk
  +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk

          $(eval INSTALL_LIST = $(wildcard config settings)) $(INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE)
   endef

However, that will copy .ko's directly into $INSTALL_PATH and out of the
$TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR subdirectory(s), so maybe not a great solution after
all.

Anyway, I thought I might mention this in case it runs against the
spirit of the selftest install target.  I only tripped over it while
digging into the bowels of our kernel specfile and discovered that it
invoked this target.
