Currently all test cases are linked with thp_settings, while only 6 out of 50+ targets rely on it.
Instead of making thp_settings as a common dependency, link it only when necessary.
You don't state why we should care about that? I don't see how binary size is a problem, why do you think it is?
Yeah overall I'm with David on this, I'd rather we keep things simple (so you don't need to remember to link against this file) and just plonk all the stuff you need to link to together in the Makefile.
I have thought about this, while current implementation do specify its necessary dependency for some target like uffd-common.c/pkey_util.c.
So I thought we may keep the same style.
It's not really a big deal when it comes to test stuff I don't think.
Yes, this is not a big deal in general. I come up with this idea because my test machine is too old. This change could same me some time during coding/debugging.
