Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Fix separate output directory build of kselftests
Date:   Thu, 24 Feb 2022 00:10:15 +0500

Build of kselftests fail if kernel's top most Makefile is used for
running or building kselftests with separate output directory. The
absolute path is needed to reference other files during this kind of
build. Set KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE to use absolute path during the build. It
fixes the following different types of errors:

make kselftest-all O=/linux_mainline/build
Makefile:1080: ../scripts/Makefile.extrawarn: No such file or directory

make kselftest-all O=build
Makefile:1080: ../scripts/Makefile.extrawarn: No such file or directory
