Here are the different ways I've used to test it: 1) Same directory build of kselftest (this is already working) make kselftest make kselftest-all make kselftest-install make kselftest-clean make kselftest-gen_tar 2) These were failing when separate output directory is specified either as relative or absolute path. After adding this patch, these are also working. kselfetst.rst mentions separate output directory build in this way. make kselftest O=build make kselftest-all O=build make kselftest-install O=build make kselftest-clean O=build make kselftest-gen_tar O=build make kselftest O=/build make kselftest-all O=/build make kselftest-install O=/build make kselftest-clean O=/build make kselftest-gen_tar O=/build Tested on top of next-20220307 after applying this patch.
