[PATCH] selftests/sched/Makefile: remove relative rpath usage

From: Eugene Syromiatnikov
Date: Thu Aug 08 2024 - 11:16:40 EST


The relative RPATH ("./") supplied to linker options in CFLAGS is resolved
relative to current working directory and not the executable directory,
which will lead in incorrect resolution when the test executables are run
from elsewhere. However, the sole sched test (cs_prctl_test)
does not require any locally-built libraries to run, so the RPATH
directive can be removed.

Discovered by the /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths script[1][2] that checks
for insecure RPATH/RUNPATH[3], such as containing relative directories,
during an attempt to package BPF selftests for later use in CI:

ERROR 0004: file '/usr/libexec/kselftests/bpf/urandom_read' contains an insecure runpath '.' in [.]
