hi,
resolve_btfids tool is used during the kernel build,
so we should clean it on kernel's make clean.

v2 changes:
  - add Song's acks on patches 1 and 4 (others changed) [Song]
  - add missing / [Andrii]
  - change srctree variable initialization [Andrii]
  - shifted ifdef for clean target [Andrii]

thanks,
jirka

FYI, your patch #2 didn't make it into the mailing list (see [0]). So
maybe wait for a bit and if it doesn't arrive, re-submit?

I've applied the changes to the bpf-next tree. Thanks.

Next time please make sure that each patch in the series has a v2 tag
in [PATCH] section, it was a bit confusing to figure out which one is
the actual v2 version. Our tooling (CI) also expects the format [PATCH
v2 bpf-next], so try not to merge v2 with PATCH.

when I invoke 'git status' on the master branch of my local git repository
(cloned from stable/linux.git), which I have used to compile several kernels,
it lists two untracked files:

	tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf
	tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/bpf_helper_defs.h

'git status' doesn't complain about these files with v5.11, and I can't get rid
of them by 'make clean' with v5.11 or v5.12-rc1/rc2. So I used 'git bisect' and
found that this is caused by commit fc6b48f692f89cc48bfb7fd1aa65454dfe9b2d77,
which links to this thread.

Looking at the diff it's obvious because of the change in the .gitignore file,
but I don't know why these files are there and I have never touched anything in
the 'tools' directory.

Can I savely delete the files? Do I even have to delete them before I compile
v5.12-rcX?

Thanks,
Viktor
