[PATCH] vfio: selftests: only build tests on arm64 and x86_64
Posted by Ted Logan 1 week ago 
Only build vfio self-tests on arm64 and x86_64; these are the only
architectures where the vfio self-tests are run. Addresses compiler
warnings for format and conversions on i386.

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202601211830.aBEjmEFD-lkp@intel.com/

Do not build vfio self-tests for 32-bit architectures, where they're
untested and unmaintained. Only build these tests for arm64 and x86_64,
where they're regularly tested.

Compiler warning fixed by patch:

What's the reason for the stderr redirection and "echo not"?

I think you can just add the following line so that this is a valid
empty selftest Makefile on unsupported architectures, without having to
define all those targets:

  include ../lib.mk

Also I would recommend spacing things out a little so that the
unsupported architecture handling is more "off to the side".

e.g.

diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/vfio/Makefile b/tools/testing/selftests/vfio/Makefile

I got that from tools/testing/selftests/arm64/Makefile but it's probably
not all that useful. I guess the idea is to allow for the possibility
that uname could fail, but I don't really know if that's really useful.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll post an updated patch shortly.

I see other Makefiles include tools/scripts/Makefile.arch which would
then just let us test for 'ifeq (${IS_64_BIT}, 1)'.  Would that more
directly address what we're trying to solve here?  Thanks,

I gave this a try but it seems like it results in a tricky situation.
We must include tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk before
tools/scripts/Makefile.arch so that $(CC) and $(CFLAGS) is set
correctly. But TEST_GEN_* variables have to be defined before the
include of tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk, which is what Ted is trying
to avoid :(.
