Linux kernel source tree
87ee33bfdd
The script test_bpftool_build.sh attempts to build bpftool in the various supported ways, to make sure nothing breaks. One of those ways is to run "make tools/bpf" from the root of the kernel repository. This command builds bpftool, along with the other tools under tools/bpf, and runqslower in particular. After running the command and upon a successful bpftool build, the script attempts to cleanup the generated objects. However, after building with this target and in the case of runqslower, the files are not cleaned up as expected. This is because the "tools/bpf" target sets $(OUTPUT) to .../tools/bpf/runqslower/ when building the tool, causing the object files to be placed directly under the runqslower directory. But when running "cd tools/bpf; make clean", the value for $(OUTPUT) is set to ".output" (relative to the runqslower directory) by runqslower's Makefile, and this is where the Makefile looks for files to clean up. We cannot easily fix in the root Makefile (where "tools/bpf" is defined) or in tools/scripts/Makefile.include (setting $(OUTPUT)), where changing the way the output variables are passed would likely have consequences elsewhere. We could change runqslower's Makefile to build in the repository instead of in a dedicated ".output/", but doing so just to accommodate a test script doesn't sound great. Instead, let's just make sure that we clean up runqslower properly by adding the correct command to the script. This will attempt to clean runqslower twice: the first try with command "cd tools/bpf; make clean" will search for tools/bpf/runqslower/.output and fail to clean it (but will still clean the other tools, in particular bpftool), the second one (added in this commit) sets the $(OUTPUT) variable like for building with the "tool/bpf" target and should succeed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
