Commit 1056d3d2c97e ("selftests: enforce local header dependency in lib.mk") added header dependency to the rule, but as the rule uses $^, the headers are added to the compiler command line. This can cause unexpected precompiled header files being generated when compilation fails: $ echo { >> openat2_test.c $ make gcc -Wall -O2 -g -fsanitize=address -fsanitize=undefined openat2_test.c tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h helpers.c -o tools/testing/selftests/openat2/openat2_test openat2_test.c:313:1: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘{’ token 313 | { | ^ make: *** [../lib.mk:140: tools/testing/selftests/openat2/openat2_test] Error 1 $ file openat2_test* openat2_test: GCC precompiled header (version 014) for C openat2_test.c: C source, ASCII text Fix it by filtering out the headers, so that we'll only pass the actual *.c files in the compiler command line.
