e46fc22e60a4 ("selftests/bpf: make directory prerequisites order-only")
exposed existing problem in Makefile for test_verifier and test_maps tests:
their dependency on auto-generated header file with a list of all tests wasn't
recorded explicitly. This patch fixes these issues.

Fixes: 51a0e301a563 ("bpf: Add BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE test to test_maps")
Fixes: 6b7b6995c43e ("selftests: bpf: tests.h should depend on .c files, not the output")

Why adding it explicitly fixes it? At least for test_verifier, we have
the following rule:

	test_verifier.c: $(VERIFIER_TESTS_H)

And there should be implicit/builtin test_verifier -> test_verifier.c
dependency rule.

Same for maps, I guess:

	$(OUTPUT)/test_maps: map_tests/*.c
	test_maps.c: $(MAP_TESTS_H)

So why is it not working as is? What I'm I missing?

I don't know exactly why it's not working, but it's clearly because of
that. It's the only difference between how test_progs are set up,
which didn't break, and test_maps/test_verifier, which did.

Feel free to figure it out through a maze of Makefiles why it didn't
work as expected, but this definitely fixed a breakage (at least for
me).

Agreed on not wasting time. I took a brief look (with make -qp) and I
don't have any clue.

By default implicit matching doesn't work:
# makefile (from 'Makefile', line 261)
/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_maps: CFLAGS += $(TEST_MAPS_CFLAGS)
/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_maps: map_tests/sk_storage_map.c /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_stub.o /linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/libbpf.a
#  Implicit rule search has not been done.
#  File is an intermediate prerequisite.
#  Modification time never checked.
#  File has not been updated.
# variable set hash-table stats:
# Load=1/32=3%, Rehash=0, Collisions=0/2=0%

If I comment out the following line:
$(TEST_GEN_PROGS): $(OUTPUT)/test_stub.o $(BPFOBJ)

Then it works:
# makefile (from 'Makefile', line 261)
/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_maps: CFLAGS += $(TEST_MAPS_CFLAGS)
/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_maps: test_maps.c map_tests/sk_storage_map.c
#  Implicit rule search has been done.
#  Implicit/static pattern stem: 'test_maps'
#  File is an intermediate prerequisite.
#  File does not exist.
#  File has not been updated.
# variable set hash-table stats:
# Load=1/32=3%, Rehash=0, Collisions=0/2=0%
#  recipe to execute (from '../lib.mk', line 138):
        $(LINK.c) $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $@

It's because "File is an intermediate prerequisite.", but I
don't see how it's is a intermediate prerequisite for anything...


One other optional suggestion I have to your second patch: maybe drop all
those dependencies on the directories altogether? Why not do the following
instead, for example (same for test_progs/test_maps)?

Oh, -qp is cool, noted :)

Well, it's "File is an intermediate prerequisite." in both cases, so I
don't know if that's it.
Makefiles is not my strong suit, honestly, and definitely not an area
of passion, so no idea

Some of those _TEST_DIR's are dependencies of multiple targets, so
you'd need to replicate that `mkdir -p $@` in multiple places, which
is annoying.

But I also don't think we need to worry about creating them, because
there is always at least one test (otherwise those tests are useless
anyways) in those directories, so we might as well just remove those
dependencies, I guess.

TBH, those explicit dependencies are good to specify anyways, so I
think this fix is good. Second patch just makes the layout of
dependencies similar, so it's easier to spot differences like this
one.

As usual, I'll let Alexei and Daniel decide which one to apply (or if
we need to take some other approach to fixing this).

Agreed, but one single "mkdir -p $@" might be better than having three
lines that define XXX_TEST_DIR and then add a target that mkdir's it.
Up to you, I can give it a try once your changes are in; the
Makefile becomes hairier by the day, thx for cleaning it up a bit :-)

We probably care about them for "make -C tools/selftests O=$PWD/xyz" case
where OUTPUT would point to a fresh/clean directory.

I agree, both of your changes look good. I was just trying to understand
what's happening because I was assuming implicit rules to always kick
in.
