It just hit my travis jobs when I merged up to master:
https://travis-ci.org/linuxppc/linux/jobs/617482001Shuah can we please get this reverted?
I will take care of this. Supporting all these use-cases has been maintenance problem. Fixing one use-case breaks another. :(

If all of the above works with kselftest-install target, I would rather ask for CI's to change, so we can get rid of make -C usage for install.
In which case, I would rather not revert this and request CIs to start using kselftest-install target.
Okay reverted now and pushed it to linux-kselftest fixes. Will send it to Linus in a couple of days.
I would like to see CI's use kselftest-* targets from the main makefile for build/run/install.
The problem is old kernels (stable branches & distro kernels) don't support that (or it doesn't work correctly).
So then the CIs have to invoke the selftest build differently depending
on which kernel version they're building, which gets ugly for them.
Let's move there slowly as stables get retired. I would like to see using kselftest main Makefile files as the supported mode going forward. This is necessary for us to make it easier to support and maintain the use-cases.
