The pattern rule `$(OUTPUT)/%: %.c` inadvertently included a circular dependency on the global-timer target due to its inclusion in $(TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED). This resulted in a circular dependency warning during the build process. To resolve this, the dependency on $(TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED) has been replaced with an explicit dependency on $(OUTPUT)/libatest.so. This change ensures that libatest.so is built before any other targets that require it, without creating a circular dependency. This fix addresses the following warning: make[4]: Entering directory 'tools/testing/selftests/alsa' make[4]: Circular default_modconfig/kselftest/alsa/global-timer <- default_modconfig/kselftest/alsa/global-timer dependency dropped. make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'all'. make[4]: Leaving directory 'tools/testing/selftests/alsa' Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Li Zhijian <lizhijian@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Cc: linux-sound@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-kselftest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- tools/testing/selftests/alsa/Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/alsa/Makefile b/tools/testing/selftests/alsa/Makefile index 944279160fed..8dab90ad22bb 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/alsa/Makefile +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/alsa/Makefile @@ -27,5 +27,5 @@ include ../lib.mk $(OUTPUT)/libatest.so: conf.c alsa-local.h $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -shared -fPIC $< $(LDLIBS) -o $@ -$(OUTPUT)/%: %.c $(TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED) alsa-local.h +$(OUTPUT)/%: %.c $(OUTPUT)/libatest.so alsa-local.h $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $< $(LDLIBS) -latest -o $@ -- 2.44.0
