When we stopped using KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL, a side effect is we also changed the value of `top_srcdir`. This can be seen by looking at the code removed by:
49de12ba06ef ("selftests: drop KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL make target"):
(Note though that this commit didn't break this, technically the one before it did since that's the one that stopped KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL from being used, even though the code was still there.)
Previously lib.mk reconfigured `top_srcdir` when KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL was being used. Now, that's no longer the case.
As a result, the path to gup_test.h in vm/Makefile was wrong, and since it's a dependency of all of the vm binaries none of them could be built. Instead, we'd get an "error" like:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/[...]/tools/testing/selftests/vm/compaction_test', needed by 'all'. Stop.
If we specify the path of gup_test.h relatively using selfdir instead, now it is found correctly, and things work again.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for fixing up this build, it's always frustrating to finally finish working on something, only to find that the selftests build is broken!
This looks correct, and also I've tested it locally, and it works. So please feel free to add:

A couple of follow-up thoughts:
1) I recalled that hmm-tests.c in the same directory also needs gup_test.h, and wondered if that was covered. And it turns out the the relative "up and over" include path is done in hmm-tests.c itself, instead of in the Makefile, like this:
/* * This is a private UAPI to the kernel test module so it isn't exported * in the usual include/uapi/... directory. */ #include "../../../../lib/test_hmm_uapi.h" #include "../../../../mm/gup_test.h"
It would be nice (maybe follow-up polishing for someone) if this were done once, instead of twice (or more?) via different (source code vs. Makefile) mechanisms.
2) Commit f2745dc0ba3d ("selftests: stop using KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL") claims that it is now required to "make headers_install" before building the selftests. However, after applying your fix (not to imply that there is anything wrong with the fix; it's fine), I am still able to build vm/selftests, directly after a top-level "make clean".
I believe that this is because the selftests are directly including gup_test.h, via relative up-and-over paths. And I recall (and also did a quick dry run, to be sure) that this internal gup_test.h header is not part of the headers_install list. So that seems to be all working as intended. But I wanted to say all of this out loud, in order to be sure I fully understand these build steps.
thanks,

A couple of follow-up thoughts:
- I recalled that hmm-tests.c in the same directory also needs
gup_test.h, and wondered if that was covered. And it turns out the the relative "up and over" include path is done in hmm-tests.c itself, instead of in the Makefile, like this:
/*
- This is a private UAPI to the kernel test module so it isn't exported
- in the usual include/uapi/... directory.
*/ #include "../../../../lib/test_hmm_uapi.h" #include "../../../../mm/gup_test.h"
It would be nice (maybe follow-up polishing for someone) if this were done once, instead of twice (or more?) via different (source code vs. Makefile) mechanisms.
Hmm, I suppose the way to clean this up would be to have the Makefile compute this once, and pass in "-I $(selfdir)/../../.." to the compiler so we could just "#include <mm/gup_test.h>" directly?
If there aren't objections to something like that being too weird, I can write a follow-up patch which does that.

I agree this is working as intended, my understanding is that "make headers_install" is really for the stuff under include/uapi/*, whereas headers under mm/ or lib/ aren't really meant to be "exposed to userspace" except for these particular selftests. So including them directly instead of looking for them under usr/include/ is intentional.

Yes, it's better to have the Makefile know where the include paths are, rather than each source file, so that looks better.
But hold on, now I see that selftests/vm/Makefile already uses what is effectively a src_topdir, anyway! Here:
CFLAGS = -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) $(KHDR_INCLUDES)
...which makes me think that real fix for the original problem should be simply this:
diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk index 947fc72413e9..d44c72b3abe3 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk @@ -40,6 +40,7 @@ ifeq (0,$(MAKELEVEL)) endif endif selfdir = $(realpath $(dir $(filter %/lib.mk,$(MAKEFILE_LIST)))) +top_srcdir = $(selfdir)/../../..
# The following are built by lib.mk common compile rules. # TEST_CUSTOM_PROGS should be used by tests that require
...and then the follow up cleanup can use top_srcdir to cleanup CFLAGS and also pull the relative paths out of the source files and into the Makefile.
