Hmm, yes, I always use kbin/linux-3.<arch>/ for the builddir of
ksrc/linux-3/ source tree.

Oh, I see. So your kernel is built on a directory which mounted as
readonly, and installed on the testbox.

Hmm, btw, would you mount it without "noexec" option?
I think only "ro" option doesn't prohibit executing scripts on it.

thanks. In my case, I didn't have same error.
---
if [ "-pg" = "-pg" ]; then if [ /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ipmodify/ipmodify.o != "scripts/mod/empty.o" ]; then ./scripts/recordmcount
"/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ipmodify/ipmodify.o"; fi; fi;
make -f /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/scripts/Makefile.modpost
---

However, when I dropped exec bit from recordmcount, I got the same error.
---
$ chmod a-x ~/kbin/linux-3.x86_64/scripts/recordmcount
$ make V=1 O=/tmp

if [ "-pg" = "-pg" ]; then if [ /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ipmodify/ipmodify.o != "scripts/mod/empty.o" ]; then ./scripts/recordmcount
"/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ipmodify/ipmodify.o"; fi; fi;
/bin/sh: ./scripts/recordmcount: Permission denied
make[5]: *** [/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/ipmodify/ipmodify.o] Error 1

So, if your server directory is mounted with noexec, it's an environmental
problem. I guess you can not build any kernel drivers on that testbox, can you?

Anyway, this gives us a good question, "should test binaries be made by
server or client(testbox) environment?" This ipmodify driver is a binary
and it should be built with the kernel binary (by server) I think.
But yes, I missed the Makefile didn't allow that (this always referred
installed running kernel builddir).

I hope to have CONFIG_KSELFTEST_BINARIES for Kconfig, or make prep_kselftest
target to build these binaries with kernel...

Shuah, what would you think about this?
