Earlier attempts to get "make O=build kselftest-all" to work were not successful as they made undesirable changes to some functions in the top-level Makefile. This series takes a different approach by removing the root cause of the problem within kselftest, which is when the sub-Makefile tries to install kernel headers "backwards" by calling make with the top-level Makefile. The actual issue comes from the fact that $(srctree) is ".." when building in a sub-directory with "O=build" which then obviously makes "-C $(top_srcdir)" point outside of the real source tree.
With this series, the generic kselftest targets work as expected from the top level with or without a build directory e.g.:
$ make kselftest-all
$ make O=build kselftest-all
Then in order to build using the sub-Makefile explicitly, the headers have to be installed first. This is arguably a valid requirement to have when building a tool from a sub-Makefile. For example, "make -C tools/testing/nvdimm/" fails in a similar way until <asm/rwonce.h> has been generated by a kernel build.
v2: replace headers_install with headers

-- 2.30.2
Drop the "khdr" make target as it fails when the build directory is a sub-directory of the source tree. Rely on the "headers_install" target to have been run first instead.
For example, here's a typical error this patch is addressing:
$ make O=build -j32 kselftest-gen_tar make[1]: Entering directory '/home/kernelci/linux/build' make --no-builtin-rules INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/home/kernelci/linux/build/usr \ ARCH=x86 -C ../../.. headers_install make[3]: Entering directory '/home/kernelci/linux' Makefile:1022: ../scripts/Makefile.extrawarn: No such file or directory
The source directory is determined in the top-level Makefile as ".." relatively to the "build" directory, but then the kselftest Makefile switches to "-C ../../.." so "../scripts" then points one level higher than the source tree e.g. "linux/../scripts" - which fails obviously. There is no other use-case in the kernel tree where a sub-directory Makefile tries to call a top-level make target, and it appears this isn't really a valid thing to do.

Stop using the KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL flag as installing the kernel headers from the kselftest Makefile is causing some issues. Instead, rely on the headers to be installed directly by the top-level Makefile "headers_install" make target prior to building kselftest.

Add headers as a dependency to kselftest targets so that they can be run directly from the top of the tree. The kselftest Makefile used to try to call headers_install "backwards" but failed due to the relative path not being consistent.
Now we can either run this directly:
$ make O=build kselftest-all
or this:
$ make O=build headers $ make O=build -C tools/testing/selftests all
The same commands work as well when building directly in the source tree (no O=) or any arbitrary path (relative or absolute).

Except I don't know who reported the issue, I think it was just very well known. KernelCI builds have been working around it for a couple of years.
The Reported-by in the other patch was about using "headers" rather than "headers_install", as a follow-up improvement on top of this patch.

Earlier attempts to get "make O=build kselftest-all" to work were not successful as they made undesirable changes to some functions in the top-level Makefile. This series takes a different approach by removing the root cause of the problem within kselftest, which is when the sub-Makefile tries to install kernel headers "backwards" by calling make with the top-level Makefile. The actual issue comes from the fact that $(srctree) is ".." when building in a sub-directory with "O=build" which then obviously makes "-C $(top_srcdir)" point outside of the real source tree.
With this series, the generic kselftest targets work as expected from the top level with or without a build directory e.g.:
$ make kselftest-all
$ make O=build kselftest-all
Then in order to build using the sub-Makefile explicitly, the headers have to be installed first. This is arguably a valid requirement to have when building a tool from a sub-Makefile. For example, "make -C tools/testing/nvdimm/" fails in a similar way until <asm/rwonce.h> has been generated by a kernel build.
v2: replace headers_install with headers
I already applied the series. Please send me patches I can apply on top of the ones in linux-kselftest next branch.
