"make kselftest" fails with "Circular Makefile.o <- prepare dependency dropped." error, when lib.mk invokes "make headers_install". Make level 0: Main make calls selftests run_tests target ... Make level n: selftests lib.mk invokes main make's headers_install The secondary level make inherits builtin-rules which will use the rule to generate Makefile.o and runs into "Circular Makefile.o <- prepare dependency dropped." error, and kselftest compile fails. Invoke headers_install target with --no-builtin-rules to avoid circular error. In addition, lib.mk installs headers in the default HDR_PATH, even when build relocation is requested with O= or export KBUILD_OUTPUT. Fix the problem by passing in INSTALL_HDR_PATH. The headers are installed under the specified output "dir/usr". Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
