Build of kselftests fail if kernel's top most Makefile is used for
running or building kselftests with separate output directory. The
absolute path is needed to reference other files during this kind of
build. Set KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE to use absolute path during the build. It
fixes the following different types of errors:
make kselftest-all O=/linux_mainline/build
Makefile:1080: ../scripts/Makefile.extrawarn: No such file or directory
make kselftest-all O=build
Makefile:1080: ../scripts/Makefile.extrawarn: No such file or directory

I've tested this patch on top of next-20220217. The latest next-20220222
have missing patches.
Can you give more details on the use-cases you tested? Did you test all
the ways kselftest are built?
used to test it:
1) Same directory build of kselftest (this is already working)
make kselftest
make kselftest-all
make kselftest-install
make kselftest-clean
make kselftest-gen_tar
2) These were failing when separate output directory is specified either
as relative or absolute path. After adding this patch, these are also
working. kselfetst.rst mentions separate output directory build in this way.
make kselftest O=build
make kselftest-all O=build
make kselftest-install O=build
make kselftest-clean O=build
make kselftest-gen_tar O=build
make kselftest O=/build
make kselftest-all O=/build
make kselftest-install O=/build
make kselftest-clean O=/build
make kselftest-gen_tar O=/build
Tested on top of next-20220307 after applying this patch.
