Series Fix selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers" | expand

Commit Message

John Hubbard March 28, 2024, 3:34 a.m. UTC
Use tools/include/uapi/ files instead. These are obtained by taking a
snapshot: run "make headers" at the top level, then copy the desired
header file into the appropriate subdir in tools/uapi/.

This was discussed and solved in [1].

However, even before copying any additional files there, there are
already quite a few in tools/include/uapi already. And these will
immediately fix a number of selftests/mm build failures.

So this patch:

a) Adds TOOLS_INCLUDES to selftests/lib.mk, so that all selftests can
immediately and easily include the snapshotted header files.

b) Uses $(TOOLS_INCLUDES) in the selftests/mm build. On today's Arch
Linux, this already fixes all build errors except for a few
userfaultfd.h (those will be addressed in a subsequent patch).
