Currently the exec test does not build: make[1]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/exec' ... make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/output/kselftest/exec/pipe', needed by 'all'. This is because pipe is listed in TEST_GEN_FILES, but pipe is not generated by the Makefile, it's created at runtime. So drop pipe from TEST_GEN_FILES. With that fixed, then install fails: make[1]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/exec' rsync -a binfmt_script non-regular /output/install/exec/ rsync: link_stat "/linux/tools/testing/selftests/exec/non-regular" failed: No such file or directory (2) That's because non-regular hasn't been built, because it's in TEST_PROGS, it should be part of TEST_GEN_PROGS to indicate that it needs to be built.
