Please check, something is off with .gitignore or where those are put: $ cd ~/linux/tools/lib/bpf $ make -j90 $ git st On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'bpf-next/master' by 4 commits. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) fixdep sharedobjs/ staticobjs/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) Other than that the changes look good, but we should be leaving uncommitted (and unignored) files around. Also (in it's less the question to the author, but rather all the maintainers involved), which kernel tree is this intended to go through, seems like it was marked as "Not Applicable" for bpf, so I'm wondering where is the proper destination? > Changes in v3: > - add Jiri's Acked-by > > Changes in v2: > - also fix libbpf shared library rules > - ensure OUTPUT is always set, and always an absolute path > - add backup $(Q) definition in tools/build/Makefile.include > > tools/build/Makefile.include | 12 +++++++++++- > tools/lib/bpf/Makefile | 14 ++++++++++++-- > 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > [...] > -$(BPF_IN_SHARED): force $(BPF_GENERATED) > +$(SHARED_OBJDIR): > + $(Q)mkdir -p $@ > + > +$(STATIC_OBJDIR): > + $(Q)mkdir -p $@ I'd probably combine the above two rules into one, but it's minor [...]
