Currently, it is not possible to specify custom flags when building samples/bpf. The flags are defined in TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS variables, however, when trying to override those from the make command, compilation fails. For example, when trying to build with PIE: $ make -C samples/bpf TPROGS_CFLAGS="-fpie" TPROGS_LDFLAGS="-pie" This is because samples/bpf/Makefile updates these variables, especially appends include paths to TPROGS_CFLAGS and these updates are overridden by setting the variables from the make command. This patch introduces variables TPROGS_USER_CFLAGS/TPROGS_USER_LDFLAGS for this purpose, which can be set from the make command and their values are propagated to TPROGS_CFLAGS/TPROGS_LDFLAGS.

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.
