Hi!
I'm wondering how out of tree check is supposed to work for make O=dir run_tests from selftests (or make -C ...) directory?
(both with 051f278e9d81 ("kbuild: replace KBUILD_SRCTREE with boolean building_out_of_srctree") and without)
make M= ... does not work with run_tests.
Kselftests run_tests target isn't intended for building and running tests OOT. Also make M= doesn't make sense for them.
There is no support to build OOT at the moment. I would like to get a better understanding of your use-case. Can you elaborate?
Hey Yauheni, can you CC me on the use-case explanation?
We currently do something really silly for the livepatch selftests on RHEL-7 for CKI that requires building them as pseudo OOT... in our case, we'd like to just be able to do something like make modules_prepare && make M= lib/livepatch, so perhaps a bit different... but I'd be curious for which problem you're currently trying to solve.
