[PATCH bpf-next v6 04/11] selftests/bpf: Avoid rebuilds when running emit_tests
From: Ricardo B. Marlière
Date: Thu Apr 16 2026 - 08:37:36 EST
emit_tests is used while installing selftests to generate the kselftest
list. Pulling in .d files for this goal can trigger BPF rebuild rules and
mix build output into list generation.
Skip dependency file inclusion for emit_tests, like clean goals, so list
generation stays side-effect free. Also add emit_tests to
NON_CHECK_FEAT_TARGETS so that feature detection is skipped; without this,
Makefile.feature's $(info) output leaks into stdout and corrupts the test
list captured by the top-level selftests Makefile.
