According to the documentation, when building a kernel with the C=2
parameter, all source files should be checked. But this does not happen
for the kernel/bpf/ directory.

$ touch kernel/bpf/core.o
$ make C=2 CHECK=true kernel/bpf/core.o

Outputs:

  CHECK   scripts/mod/empty.c
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND objtool
  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
  CC      kernel/bpf/core.o

As can be seen the compilation is done, but CHECK is not executed. This
happens because kernel/bpf/Makefile has defined its own rule for
compilation and forgotten the macro that does the check.

There is no need to duplicate the build code, and this rule can be
removed to use generic rules.

Did you compile-test this?

See my previous email.




I said this:

$ cat kernel/bpf/btf_iter.c
#include "../../tools/lib/bpf/btf_iter.c"


Same for
kernel/bpf/btf_relocate.c
kernel/bpf/relo_core.c

Yes. I repeated my steps for reproduce:

$ touch kernel/bpf/core.c
$ make C=2 CHECK=true |grep kernel/bpf/core
  CC      kernel/bpf/core.o
  CHECK   kernel/bpf/core.c

but maybe my config is too small.
