From: Björn Töpel bjorn@rivosinc.com
When the BPF selftests are cross-compiled, only the a host version of bpftool is built. This version of bpftool is used to generate various intermediates, e.g., skeletons.
The test runners are also using bpftool. The Makefile will symlink bpftool from the selftest/bpf root, where the test runners will look for the tool:
| ... | $(Q)ln -sf $(if $2,..,.)/tools/build/bpftool/bootstrap/bpftool \ | $(OUTPUT)/$(if $2,$2/)bpftool
There are two issues for cross-compilation builds:
1. There is no native (cross-compilation target) build of bpftool 2. The bootstrap variant of bpftool is never cross-compiled (by design)
Make sure that a native/cross-compiled version of bpftool is built, and if CROSS_COMPILE is set, symlink to the native/non-bootstrap version.

Similar use case. There also seems to be a lot of issues building these tests out of tree.
I have some potential fixes up to 6.1 but linux-next seems to have introduced a few more issues on top.

Ah, yes. FWIW, the BPF CI builds the selftests *in-tree*, so with this patch (and my PRs) the BPF CI is capable of cross-compiling.

Jean-Philippe, I know you do some cross-compiling with bpftool, how does this look from your side?

I don't have enough time for BPF at the moment unfortunately. Zachary is looking at cross-compiling the selftests for arm64
Thanks, Jean
Hi Bjorn,
Thanks for the patch, I've tested it and it works for me.
I have a minor suggestion but otherwise happy to see this getting fixed.

Good one. I'll spin a v2, and also fix Quentin's "double-slash".
