The tests are built on per architecture basis. When unsupported architecture is specified, it has no tests and TEST_GEN_PROGS is empty. The lib.mk has support for not building anything for such case. But KVM makefile doesn't handle such case correctly. It doesn't check if TEST_GEN_PROGS is empty or not and try to create directory by mkdir. Hence mkdir generates the error.
mkdir: missing operand Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.
This can be easily fixed by checking if TEST_GEN_PROGS isn't empty before calling mkdir.

Looks good to me.

This just suppresses an error, it doesn't fix the underlying problem. E.g. there are other weird side effects, such as an above mkdir creating the $(ARCH) directory even though it shouldn't exist in the end.
It's also very opaque, e.g. without a comment or the context of the changelog, I'd have no idea what purpose the above serves.
Rather than bury the effective "is this arch supported" check in the middle of the Makefile, what if we wrap the "real" makefile and include it only for supported architectures, and provide dummy targets for everything else?
E.g.
--- # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only top_srcdir = ../../../.. include $(top_srcdir)/scripts/subarch.include ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH)
ifeq ($(ARCH),$(filter $(ARCH),arm64 s390 riscv x86 x86_64)) ifeq ($(ARCH),x86) ARCH_DIR := x86_64 else ifeq ($(ARCH),arm64) ARCH_DIR := aarch64 else ifeq ($(ARCH),s390) ARCH_DIR := s390x else ARCH_DIR := $(ARCH) endif
include Makefile.kvm else all: clean: endif ---
And other KVM maintainers, the big question is: if we do the above, would now be a decent time to bite the bullet and switch to the kernel's canonical arch paths, i.e. arm64, s390, and x86? I feel like if we're ever going to get away from using aarch64, x86_64, and s390x, this is as about a good of an opportunity as we're going to get.
The annoying x86_64=>x86 alias still needs to be handled to avoid breaking explicit ARCH=x86_64 builds (which apparently are allowed, *sigh*), but we can ditch ARCH_DIR and the KVM selftests dirs match tools' include paths.
--- # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only top_srcdir = ../../../.. include $(top_srcdir)/scripts/subarch.include ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH)
ifeq ($(ARCH),$(filter $(ARCH),arm64 s390 riscv x86 x86_64)) # Top-level selftests allows ARCH=x86_64 :-( ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64) ARCH := x86 endif include Makefile.kvm else all: clean: endif ---
If no one objects or has a better idea, I'll post a series to do the above.

I'm pretty much indifferent on the matter, but I won't complain if you send out a change for this.

Same here. Call it arm64 or aargh64, same difference. Whatever we change, some people will moan anyway.
