cd lkp-tests
sudo bin/lkp install job.yaml # job file is attached in this email
bin/lkp split-job --compatible job.yaml # generate the yaml file for lkp run

# if come across any failure that blocks the test,
# please remove ~/.lkp and /lkp dir to run from a clean state.



I am sorry for the build issues.

In my opinion, include asm/unistd.h can fix the build error about
undeclared __NR_getppid reported by kernel test robot, and this is
what I did in the v2 patch, but it seems no effect.

Here are the definition on my x86_64 system:

[yangtiezhu@linux ~]$ grep -rn __NR_getppid /usr/include/
/usr/include/asm/unistd_x32.h:102:#define __NR_getppid (__X32_SYSCALL_BIT + 110)
/usr/include/asm/unistd_32.h:68:#define __NR_getppid 64
/usr/include/asm/unistd_64.h:114:#define __NR_getppid 110
/usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h:492:#define __NR_getppid 173
/usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h:493:__SYSCALL(__NR_getppid, sys_getppid)
/usr/include/bits/syscall.h:610:#ifdef __NR_getppid
/usr/include/bits/syscall.h:611:# define SYS_getppid __NR_getppid
[yangtiezhu@linux ~]$ cat /usr/include/asm/unistd.h
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */
#ifndef _ASM_X86_UNISTD_H
#define _ASM_X86_UNISTD_H

/* x32 syscall flag bit */
#define __X32_SYSCALL_BIT 0x40000000

# ifdef __i386__
# include <asm/unistd_32.h>
# elif defined(__ILP32__)
# include <asm/unistd_x32.h>
# else
# include <asm/unistd_64.h>
# endif

#endif /* _ASM_X86_UNISTD_H */
[yangtiezhu@linux ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/include/asm/unistd.h
kernel-headers-4.18.0-348.7.1.el8_5.x86_64

In order to fix the build error,

(1) Maybe I need to add the following code like
tools/build/feature/test-bpf.c:

#ifndef __NR_getppid
# if defined(__i386__)
# define __NR_getppid 64
# elif defined(__x86_64__)
# define __NR_getppid 110
# elif defined(__aarch64__)
...
# elif defined(__sparc__)
...
# elif defined(__s390__)
...
# elif defined(__mips__)
...
# else
# error __NR_getppid not defined.
# endif
#endif

(2) Maybe I need to modify the following header files:
tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h
tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h

I prefer the second method, but I am a bit confused,
why not include /usr/include/asm/unistd*.h?
I think it is to avoid cross build issues?
Am I missing something?

Let me rethink it and then send v3, thank you.

Thanks,
Tiezhu
