Linux kernel source tree
e689a87696
The rules to link selftests are:
> $(OUTPUT)/%_ipv4: %.c
> $(LINK.c) $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $@
>
> $(OUTPUT)/%_ipv6: %.c
> $(LINK.c) -DIPV6_TEST $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $@
The intel test robot uses only selftest's Makefile, not the top linux
Makefile:
> make W=1 O=/tmp/kselftest -C tools/testing/selftests
So, $(LINK.c) is determined by environment, rather than by kernel
Makefiles. On my machine (as well as other people that ran tcp-ao
selftests) GNU/Make implicit definition does use $(LDFLAGS):
> [dima@Mindolluin ~]$ make -p -f/dev/null | grep '^LINK.c\>'
> make: *** No targets. Stop.
> LINK.c = $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH)
But, according to build robot report, it's not the case for them.
While I could just avoid using pre-defined $(LINK.c), it's also used by
selftests/lib.mk by default.
Anyways, according to GNU/Make documentation [1], I should have used
$(LDLIBS) instead of $(LDFLAGS) in the first place, so let's just do it:
> LDFLAGS
> Extra flags to give to compilers when they are supposed to invoke
> the linker, ‘ld’, such as -L. Libraries (-lfoo) should be added
> to the LDLIBS variable instead.
> LDLIBS
> Library flags or names given to compilers when they are supposed
> to invoke the linker, ‘ld’. LOADLIBES is a deprecated (but still
> supported) alternative to LDLIBS. Non-library linker flags, such
> as -L, should go in the LDFLAGS variable.

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.
