The recent change fc96c7c19df ("selftests: error out if kernel header
files are not yet built") to generate an error message when building
kselftests without having installed the headers is generating spurious
failures during the install step which breaks the arm64 selftests (and
only the arm64 selftests):

Emit Tests for arm64

make[4]: *** [Makefile:26: all] Error 2

Presumably the arm64 tests are doing something unusual in their build
setup which could be adjusted but I didn't immediately see it and since
this is having a serious impact on test coverage in automation let's
just revert for now.

This is causing failures in KernelCI with the command:

make KBUILD_BUILD_USER=KernelCI FORMAT=.xz ARCH=arm64 HOSTCC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabihf- CC="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc" O=/tmp/kci/linux/build -C/tmp/kci/linux -j10 kselftest-gen_tar

and also when building using tuxmake.

Full log: https://storage.kernelci.org/mainline/master/v6.5-rc1/arm64/defconfig/gcc-10/logs/kselftest.log

OK, I borrowed an arm64 system and was able to reproduce the problem.

There are 30 or 50 other pre-existing arm64 selftest build failures which were
quite misleading at first, until I got into the "right" selftests mindset of,
"massive swaths of selftests are broken, deal with it". :)

Anyway, I can now see new hard failure that you reported:

Emit Tests for arm64
make[5]: *** [../../lib.mk:81: kernel_header_files] Error 1
make[5]: *** [../../lib.mk:81: kernel_header_files] Error 1
make[5]: *** [../../lib.mk:81: kernel_header_files] Error 1
make[5]: *** [../../lib.mk:81: kernel_header_files] Error 1

Let me see if there is a quick fix for this, especially given that
every other subsystem is somehow avoiding this--it's probably easy, just
a sec...
