<content type='text'>
The BPF selftests have build time dependencies on cutting edge versions
of tools in the BPF ecosystem including LLVM which are more involved
to satisfy than more typical requirements like installing a package from
your distribution.  This causes issues for users looking at kselftest in
as a whole who find that a default build of kselftest fails and that
resolving this is time consuming and adds administrative overhead.  The
fast pace of BPF development and the need for a full BPF stack to do
substantial development or validation work on the code mean that people
working directly on it don't see a reasonable way to keep supporting
older environments without causing problems with the usability of the
BPF tests in BPF development so these requirements are unlikely to be
relaxed in the immediate future.

There is already support for skipping targets so in order to reduce the
barrier to entry for people interested in kselftest as a whole let's use
that to skip the BPF tests by default when people work with the top
level kselftest build system.  Users can still build the BPF selftests
as part of the wider kselftest build by specifying SKIP_TARGETS,
including setting an empty SKIP_TARGETS to build everything.  They can
also continue to build the BPF selftests individually in cases where
they are specifically focused on BPF.

This isn't ideal since it means people will need to take special steps
to build the BPF tests but the dependencies mean that realistically this
is already the case to some extent and it makes it easier for people to
pick up and work with the other selftests which is hopefully a net win.

Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for entry/exit handling:

   - More generalization of entry/exit functionality

   - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
     non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
     related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
     x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.

   - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
     delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
     improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
     going to come seperate via Jens.

   - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
     and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
     catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
     space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
     and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
     fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.

   - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
     users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
     and protection.

   - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
     specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
     restart mechanism"

<id>e722a295cf493388dae474745d30e91e1a2ec549</id>
<content type='text'>
The ION android code has long been marked to be removed, now that we
dma-buf support merged into the real part of the kernel.

It was thought that we could wait to remove the ion kernel at a later
time, but as the out-of-tree Android fork of the ion code has diverged
quite a bit, and any Android device using the ion interface uses that
forked version and not this in-tree version, the in-tree copy of the
code is abandonded and not used by anyone.

Combine this abandoned codebase with the need to make changes to it in
order to keep the kernel building properly, which then causes merge
issues when merging those changes into the out-of-tree Android code, and
you end up with two different groups of people (the in-kernel-tree
developers, and the Android kernel developers) who are both annoyed at
the current situation.  Because of this problem, just drop the in-kernel
copy of the ion code now, as it's not used, and is only causing problems
for everyone involved.

The ION android code has long been marked to be removed, now that we
dma-buf support merged into the real part of the kernel.

It was thought that we could wait to remove the ion kernel at a later
time, but as the out-of-tree Android fork of the ion code has diverged
quite a bit, and any Android device using the ion interface uses that
forked version and not this in-tree version, the in-tree copy of the
code is abandonded and not used by anyone.

Combine this abandoned codebase with the need to make changes to it in
order to keep the kernel building properly, which then causes merge
issues when merging those changes into the out-of-tree Android code, and
you end up with two different groups of people (the in-kernel-tree
developers, and the Android kernel developers) who are both annoyed at
the current situation.  Because of this problem, just drop the in-kernel
copy of the ion code now, as it's not used, and is only causing problems

<title>selftests: Extract run_kselftest.sh and generate stand-alone test list</title>

Instead of building a script on the fly (which just repeats the same
thing for each test collection), move the script out of the Makefile and
into run_kselftest.sh, which reads kselftest-list.txt.

Adjust the emit_tests target to report each test on a separate line so
that test running tools (e.g. LAVA) can easily remove individual
tests (for example, as seen in [1]).

<title>selftests: more general make nesting support</title>

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.
