6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiayuan Chen <mrpre@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 73b9075f334f5debf28646884a320b796b27768d ] Currently, when we run the BPF selftests with the following command: make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=bpf SKIP_TARGETS="" The command generates untracked files and directories with make version less than 4.4: ''' Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) tools/testing/selftests/bpfFEATURE-DUMP.selftests tools/testing/selftests/bpffeature/ ''' We lost slash after word "bpf". The reason is slash appending code is as follow: ''' OUTPUT := $(OUTPUT)/ $(eval include ../../../build/Makefile.feature) OUTPUT := $(patsubst %/,%,$(OUTPUT)) ''' This way of assigning values to OUTPUT will never be effective for the variable OUTPUT provided via the command argument [1] and BPF makefile is called from parent Makfile(tools/testing/selftests/Makefile) like: ''' all: ... $(MAKE) OUTPUT=$$BUILD_TARGET -C $$TARGET ''' According to GNU make, we can use override Directive to fix this issue [2].
