[PATCH 0/2] Fix selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"

From: John Hubbard
Date: Wed Mar 27 2024 - 23:34:35 EST


Hi,

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]. :)

I haven't done much build testing, because selftests are not so easy to build
with a cross-compiler. So it's just tested on x86 64-bit so far.
