[PATCH] Revert "selftests: error out if kernel header files are not yet built"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit 9fc96c7c19df ("selftests: error out if kernel header
files are not yet built").

It turns out that requiring the kernel headers to be built as a
prerequisite to building selftests, does not work in many cases. For
example, Peter Zijlstra writes:

"My biggest beef with the whole thing is that I simply do not want to use
'make headers', it doesn't work for me.

I have a ton of output directories and I don't care to build tools into
the output dirs, in fact some of them flat out refuse to work that way
(bpf comes to mind)." [1]

Therefore, stop erroring out on the selftests build. Additional patches
will be required in order to change over to not requiring the kernel
headers.
