Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: fix security_%config configurator targets
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 14:09:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903120902.2359859-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

The security_%config targets documented in
Documentation/user/security-policies.rst are broken in three ways:

The sync with Linux v6.17 dropped the exclusion of security_%config
from the config-build classification, so the goals are now dispatched
to scripts/kconfig:

  make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'security_olddefconfig'.  Stop.

The same sync removed $(barebox-alldirs), which collect-policies used
to derive its directory list from. With the list empty, the configurator
only ever sees policy-list files left behind by a previous build.
Collect from $(build-dir) instead; scripts/Makefile.policy recurses
through subdir-y from the top-level Kbuild.

This makes the standalone mode of scripts/Makefile.policy run for the
first time, revealing that it includes scripts/Kbuild.include relative
to the current directory and sets $(src) relative to the objtree, both
of which break out-of-tree builds. Set them up as Makefile.clean does.

Fixes: 48d0d0cc28ed ("kbuild: sync with Linux v6.17")
Fixes: e8f15886952c ("kbuild: make collect-policies lightweight with standalone Makefile.policy")
