Subject: [PATCH] selftests: avoid KBUILD_OUTPUT dir cluttering with selftest objects
Date: Tue, 14 May 2019 16:42:22 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190514224222.31310-1-skhan@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

Running "make kselftest" or building selftests when KBUILD_OUTPUT
is set, will create selftest objects in the KBUILD_OUTPUT directory.
This could be undesirable especially when user didn't intend to
relocate selftest objects.

Use KBUILD_OUTPUT/kselftest to create selftest objects instead of
cluttering the main directory.
