Subject: [PATCH 1/4] selftests/bpf: Install bpftool where test_progs expects to find it
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:09:37 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-selftests-bpf_fixes-v1-1-aa24dfd6f4f9@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-selftests-bpf_fixes-v1-0-aa24dfd6f4f9@suse.com>
bpftool_helpers.c looks for bpftool at "tools/sbin/bpftool" or
"../tools/sbin/bpftool" relative to the running test_progs binary, matching
the build directory layout where bpftool sits at
$(OUTPUT)/tools/sbin/bpftool.
INSTALL_RULE installs bpftool through the generic TEST_GEN_PROGS_EXTENDED
mechanism, which flattens it straight into $(INSTALL_PATH) and loses the
tools/sbin/ prefix. After "make install", every flavor of test_progs,
including the default one, fails to locate bpftool, and bpftool_maps_access
and bpftool_metadata error out with "Failed to detect bpftool path", even
though bpftool itself built and installed fine.
Explicitly install bpftool under tools/sbin/ in the installed tree
so its relative location matches what detect_bpftool_path() already
expects, restoring the pre-install layout instead of introducing a
new one.
Fixes: f21fae577446 ("selftests/bpf: Add a few helpers for bpftool testing")
