[PATCH] selftests/rseq: Fix out-of-tree compilation

From: Michael Ellerman
Date: Thu Feb 20 2020 - 06:38:00 EST


Currently if you build with O=... the rseq tests don't build:

$ make O=$PWD/output -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=rseq
make: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests'
...
make[1]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq'
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L./ -Wl,-rpath=./ -shared -fPIC rseq.c -lpthread -o /linux/output/rseq/librseq.so
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L./ -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/output/rseq/basic_test
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrseq
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This is because the library search path points to the source
directory, not the output.

We can fix it by changing the library search path to $(OUTPUT).

This works in all cases.

With O= set:

$ make O=$PWD/output -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=rseq
...
make[1]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq'
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/output/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/output/rseq/basic_test
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/output/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_percpu_ops_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/output/rseq/basic_percpu_ops_test

gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/output/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ -DRSEQ_COMPARE_TWICE param_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/output/rseq/param_test_compare_twice
make[1]: Leaving directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq'
make: Leaving directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests'

And also without, in which case the selftest makefiles set OUTPUT to
the full path of the source directory:

$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=rseq
...
make[1]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq'
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ -shared -fPIC rseq.c -lpthread -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/librseq.so
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/basic_test
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_percpu_ops_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/basic_percpu_ops_test
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ param_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/param_test
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ -DBENCHMARK param_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/param_test_benchmark
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ -DRSEQ_COMPARE_TWICE param_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/param_test_compare_twice
make[1]: Leaving directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq'
make: Leaving directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests'

And finally, it also works if you build directly in the rseq
directory, eg:

$ cd tools/testing/selftests/rseq
$ make
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ -shared -fPIC rseq.c -lpthread -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/librseq.so
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/basic_test
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ basic_percpu_ops_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/basic_percpu_ops_test
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ param_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/param_test
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ -DBENCHMARK param_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/param_test_benchmark
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -I./ -I../../../../usr/include/ -L/linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq -Wl,-rpath=./ -DRSEQ_COMPARE_TWICE param_test.c -lpthread -lrseq -o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/rseq/param_test_compare_twice
