This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tools/resolve_btfids: Set srctree variable unconditionally to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tools-resolve_btfids-set-srctree-variable-unconditio.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d860c991faeb5a2d075c0b6a0d1514137c66bed2 Author: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 5 13:40:19 2021 +0100 tools/resolve_btfids: Set srctree variable unconditionally [ Upstream commit 7962cb9b640af98ccb577f46c8b894319e6c5c20 ] We want this clean to be called from tree's root Makefile, which defines same srctree variable and that will screw the make setup. We actually do not use srctree being passed from outside, so we can solve this by setting current srctree value directly. Also changing the way how srctree is initialized as suggested by Andrri. Also root Makefile does not define the implicit RM variable, so adding RM initialization.
