[PATCH v1] kbuild: Allow building of samples with UML

From: Mickaël Salaün
Date: Wed Dec 18 2024 - 06:58:19 EST


It's useful to build samples/* with UML and the only blocker is the
artificial incompatibility with CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL.

Allow the headers_install target with ARCH=um, which then allow building
samples (and tests using them) with UML too:

printf 'CONFIG_SAMPLES=y\nCONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y\nCONFIG_SAMPLE_LANDLOCK=y\n' >.config
make ARCH=um olddefconfig headers_install
make ARCH=um samples/landlock/

This option will install uapi headers (headers exported to user-space)
into the usr/include directory for use during the kernel build.
