The riscv selftests (which were modeled after the arm64 selftests) are improperly declaring the "emit_tests" target to depend upon the "all" target. This approach, when combined with commit9fc96c7c19("selftests: error out if kernel header files are not yet built"), has caused build failures [1] on arm64, and is likely to cause similar failures for riscv. To fix this, simply remove the unnecessary "all" dependency from the emit_tests target. The dependency is still effectively honored, because again, invocation is via "install", which also depends upon "all". An alternative approach would be to harden the emit_tests target so that it can depend upon "all", but that's a lot more complicated and hard to get right, and doesn't seem worth it, especially given that emit_tests should probably not be overridden at all.

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.
