commit 5ad51ab618de5d05f4e692ebabeb6fe6289aaa57 upstream. The build of kselftests fails if relative path is specified through KBUILD_OUTPUT or O=<path> method. BUILD variable is used to determine the path of the output objects. When make is run from other directories with relative paths, the exact path of the build objects is ambiguous and build fails. make[1]: Entering directory '/home/usama/repos/kernel/linux_mainline2/tools/testing/selftests/alsa' gcc mixer-test.c -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lasound -o build/kselftest/alsa/mixer-test /usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file build/kselftest/alsa/mixer-test Set the BUILD variable to the absolute path of the output directory. Make the logic readable and easy to follow. Use spaces instead of tabs for indentation as if with tab indentation is considered recipe in make.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
