This sort of Makefile construct is a wonderful source of patch rejects and fixups.

When I apply the patch, ./efivarfs.sh doesn't have execute permissions. I don't think there's a way of (reliably?) transporting this with patch and diff. So we should explicitly invoke sh or /bin/sh or $SHELL or whatever here. This problem is common to several Makefiles in tools/testing/selftests/ I'll do this for now: --- a/tools/testing/selftests/efivarfs/Makefile~selftests-add-tests-for-efivarfs-fix +++ a/tools/testing/selftests/efivarfs/Makefile @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ test_objs = open-unlink all: $(test_objs) run_tests: all - @./efivarfs.sh || echo "efivarfs selftests: [FAIL]" + @/bin/sh ./efivarfs.sh || echo "efivarfs selftests: [FAIL]" clean: rm -f $(test_objs) but I'm not sure I did it right :( The general ruleset for selftests is: do as much as you can if you're not root and don't take too long and don't break the build on any architecture and don't cause the top-level "make run_tests" to fail if your feature is unconfigured.
