It is outside of tools/tests/selftests/. It would mean that the tests are not self-contained any longer. The tests should support all scenarios described in Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst. Note that it allows to install them and run them from the installed copy. I guess that this is useful if you want to package the selftests. > Final note, kbuild is probably my weakest area, so I'm of limited help > review-wise there.

I personally test the mainline kernels the following way: workstation> make binrpm-pkg test-system-qemu# sshfs workstation:/path/to/packages /mnt test-system-qemu# rpm -ivh /mnt/RPMS/x86_64/kernel-xxxx.rpm test-system-qemu# reboot test-system-qemu# sshfs workstation:/path/to/sources /mnt test-system-qemu# cd /mnt/linux/tools/tests/selftests/livepatch test-system-qemu# make run_tests With this patchset I get: test-system-qemu:/mnt/kernel/linux/tools/testing/selftests/livepatch # make run_tests make -C test_modules test_klp_atomic_replace.ko make[1]: Entering directory '/mnt/kernel/linux/tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules' make -C /lib/modules/5.19.0-rc8-default+/build M=/mnt/kernel/linux/tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules test_klp_atomic_replace.ko make[2]: Entering directory '/mnt/kernel/linux/tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test_modules' make[2]: *** /lib/modules/5.19.0-rc8-default+/build: No such file or directory.

But it looks to me that it is the way how to test "any" kernel with selftests from an up-to-date kernel sources. Best Regards, Petr
