Hi
while testing on linux-next
I see that, when KBUILD_OUTPUT is set in the env, running something like (using TARGETS=exec as a random subsystem here...)
$ make TARGETS=exec INSTALL_PATH=/nfs/LTP-official-debian-aarch64-rootfs/opt/KSFT_next kselftest-install
works fine as usual, WHILE the alternative invocation (still documented in Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst)
make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=exec INSTALL_PATH=/nfs/LTP-official-debian-aarch64-rootfs/opt/KSFT_next install
fails miserably with: ... ... REMOVE usr/include/rdma/cxgb3-abi.h usr/include/rdma/nes-abi.h HDRINST usr/include/asm/kvm.h INSTALL /kselftest/usr/include mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/kselftest’: Permission denied /home/crimar01/ARM/dev/src/pdsw/linux/Makefile:1187: recipe for target 'headers_install' failed make[2]: *** [headers_install] Error 1
This is fixed by unsetting KBUILD_OUTPUT OR reverting:
303e6218ecec (ksft/fixes) selftests: Fix O= and KBUILD_OUTPUT handling for relative paths
since bypassing top makefile with -C, the definition of abs-objtree used by the above patch is no more available.
As a side effect when KBUILD_OUTPUT is set, this breaks also the usage kselftest_install.sh.

Any thoughts ? ... or am I missing something ?
You're not missing anything, this is broken.
Thanks for the feedback !

(I think I'm starting to see this in latest CI linaro kselftest while they cross-compile for arm64)
It just hit my travis jobs when I merged up to master:
https://travis-ci.org/linuxppc/linux/jobs/617482001
Shuah can we please get this reverted?
cheers
