If an 'O' is passed to 'make build-test', many 'test -x' and 'test -f'
will fail because perf resides in a different directory. Fix this by
computing PERF_OUT according to 'O' and test correct output files.
For make_kernelsrc and make_kernelsrc_tools, set KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR
instead because the path is different from others ($(O)/perf vs
$(O)/tools/perf).
So, before this patch:
Also, while trying to get this to work, I found these places lacking the
O= prefixing, right?

I have throughly tested this patch set, both
with and without O, many times, and see no
error related to this part of code, so I think
we don't really need this prefix.

But maybe there's error I never noticed.
Let me check it tomorrow.
Ok, but are you testing it patch after patch or just after all the
patches in this series are applied?

Here, with up to:


I am getting 'make clean' related errors after some tests on a RHEL7.1
test machine:

They are different.

I reproduced this error in my environment. The reason is: if we use
'make clean O=something', the 'bin' files created by feature testing
won't be removed. Not related to my work. Here I give an example:

Good result.

Look at [1]. Here's a similar problem I reported to Jiri.

Concultion: the reason of the problem you met is because 'make clean O=.' doesn't clean
feature test results. In v1 I have:

-clean := @(cd $(PERF); make -s -f $(MK) clean >/dev/null)
+clean := @(cd $(PERF); make -s -f $(MK) O=$(PERF_OUT) clean >/dev/null; make -s -f $(MK) clean >/dev/null)

(two 'make clean' here for safety)

But removes them in v2. The second 'make clean' would remove any feature testing
results and return good testing result for you. This also explain why I never met failure
like this: if patch 4 - 9 are applied, make static would use feature dump.

Let me see how to remove feature testing results.
