selftests: more general make nesting support
selftests can be built from the toplevel kernel makefile (e.g. make kselftest-all) or directly (make -C tools/testing/selftests all). The toplevel kernel makefile explicitly disables implicit rules with "MAKEFLAGS += -rR", which is passed to tools/testing/selftests. Some selftest makefiles require implicit make rules, which is why commit 67d8712dcc70 ("selftests: Fix build failures when invoked from kselftest target") reenables implicit rules by clearing MAKEFLAGS if MAKELEVEL=1. So far so good. However, if the toplevel makefile is called from an outer makefile then MAKELEVEL will be elevated, which breaks the MAKELEVEL equality test. Example wrapped makefile error: $ cat ~/Makefile all: $(MAKE) defconfig $(MAKE) kselftest-all $ make -sf ~/Makefile futex_wait_timeout.c /src/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h /src/tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h ../include/futextest.h ../include/atomic.h ../include/logging.h -lpthread -lrt -o /src/tools/testing/selftests/futex/functional/futex_wait_timeout make[4]: futex_wait_timeout.c: Command not found Rather than checking $(MAKELEVEL), check for $(LINK.c), which is a more direct side effect of "make -R". This enables arbitrary makefile nesting. Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>
