[PATCH 0/4] Fix kselftest build with sub-directory

[Guillaume Tucker <guillaume.tucker@collabora.com>]

Earlier attempts to get "make O=build kselftest-all" to work were
not successful as they made undesirable changes to some functions
in the top-level Makefile.  This series takes a different
approach by removing the root cause of the problem within
kselftest, which is when the sub-Makefile tries to install kernel
headers "backwards" by calling make with the top-level Makefile.
The actual issue comes from the fact that $(srctree) is ".." when
building in a sub-directory with "O=build" which then obviously
makes "-C $(top_srcdir)" point outside of the real source tree.

With this series, the generic kselftest targets work as expected
from the top level with or without a build directory e.g.:

  $ make kselftest-all

  $ make O=build kselftest-all

Then in order to build using the sub-Makefile explicitly, the
headers have to be installed first.  This is arguably a valid
requirement to have when building a tool from a sub-Makefile.
For example, "make -C tools/testing/nvdimm/" fails in a similar
way until <asm/rwonce.h> has been generated by a kernel build.

Guillaume Tucker (4):
  selftests: drop khdr make target
  selftests: stop using KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL
  selftests: drop KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL make target
  Makefile: add headers_install to kselftest targets
