This started out as a patch to have the BPF samples built with a Kconfig option. As stated in the commit description, I realised that it won't work for allyesconfig builds. However, the reason I retained this patch is since it gets us one step closer to building the samples as part of the kernel build. The 'simplification' is since I can now have the export in my .bashrc and the kernel build will now build the BPF samples too without requiring an additional 'make samples/bpf/' step. I agree this is subjective, so I am ok if this isn't taken in. - Naveen _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
