Multiple reviewers (Sashiko AI and [email protected]) raised a concern in v5 that when permissive mode skips building .ko files, the $(TRUNNER_BINARY)-extras rsync target will fail fatally during out-of-tree builds (when O= is set) because TEST_KMOD_TARGETS are included in TRUNNER_EXTRA_FILES but the .ko files were never created. The rsync command lacks --ignore-missing-args flag to handle missing files: tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile:$(TRUNNER_BINARY)-extras { $(call msg,EXT-COPY,$(TRUNNER_BINARY),$(TRUNNER_EXTRA_FILES)) $(Q)rsync -aq $$^ $(TRUNNER_OUTPUT)/ } According to the v6 changelog, this was addressed by adding --ignore-missing-args to the -extras rsync, but this fix does not appear in the current commit. Does the rsync command need --ignore-missing-args to prevent 'No such file or directory' errors when .ko files are missing in permissive mode during out-of-tree builds?
