When directories are used as prerequisites in Makefiles, they can cause a lot of unnecessary rebuilds, because a directory is considered changed whenever a file in this directory is added, removed or modified. If the only thing a target is interested in is the existence of the directory it depends on, which is the case for selftests/bpf, this directory should be specified as an order-only prerequisite: it would still be created in case it does not exist, but it would not trigger a rebuild of a target in case it's considered changed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
