bpf build fails with the above commit. However, even without it, I am
seeing bpf objects going to tools/testing/selftests/bpf

I reverted the commit and ran your use-case:

export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/kselftest_bpf
cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
make
./test_verifier

I see bpf objects in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ and I can run the
test.

What am I missing? The only way ./test_verifier would work is if
test_verifier is in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/

I am curious what you are actually seeing with this commit?

With the 8ce72dc32578

What I see is - if KBUILD_OUTPUT directory is missing, then the make
just fails and the following diff fixes that problem:

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk
index 098dd0065fb1..074ce7d26a9d 100644
--- a/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk
+++ b/tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk
@@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ ifeq (0,$(MAKELEVEL))
                 DEFAULT_INSTALL_HDR_PATH := 1
         endif
      endif
+$(shell mkdir -p $(OUTPUT))
  endif
  selfdir = $(realpath $(dir $(filter %/lib.mk,$(MAKEFILE_LIST))))


Now when I run

cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
make
./test_verifier

bpf objects end up in /tmp/kselftest_bpf

which is what should happen when KBUILD_OUPUT is set.

But now ./test_verifier won't work, because it isn't in the
cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/

Could it be that with  commit 8ce72dc32578, bpf objects are ending
up in the KBUILD_OUPUT dir and ./test_verifier won't work because
your workflow is looking for it in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/?

If this is the case, then the workfolow will be to run the
test_verifier from KBUILD_OUPUT dir.

I am trying understand the problem so I can fix it. I know I need
the above diff.


thanks,
