selftests: break the dependency upon local header files
Patch series "Fix selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"". As mentioned in each patch, this implements the solution that we discussed in December 2023, in [1]. This turned out to be very clean and easy. It should also be quite easy to maintain. This should also make Peter Zijlstra happy, because it directly addresses the root cause of his "NAK NAK NAK" reply [2]. :) [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/783a4178-1dec-4e30-989a-5174b8176b09@redhat.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231103121652.GA6217@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/ This patch (of 2): 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).
