      kselftests: lib.mk: Add TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR variable · 6727980b
      Marcos Paulo de Souza authored
      Add TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR variable for kselftests. It can point to
      a directory containing kernel modules that will be used by
      selftest scripts.
      
      The modules are built as external modules for the running kernel.
      As a result they are always binary compatible and the same tests
      can be used for older or newer kernels.
      
      The build requires "kernel-devel" package to be installed.
      For example, in the upstream sources, the rpm devel package
      is produced by "make rpm-pkg"
      
      The modules can be built independently by
      
        make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/
      
      or they will be automatically built before running the tests via
      
        make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/ run_tests
      
      Note that they are _not_ built when running the standalone
      tests by calling, for example, ./test-state.sh.
      
      Along with TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR, it was necessary to create a new install
      rule. INSTALL_MODS_RULE is needed because INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE would
      copy the entire TEST_GEN_MODS_DIR directory to the destination, even
      the files created by Kbuild to compile the modules. The new install
      rule copies only the .ko files, as we would expect the gen_tar to work.
