Hi,

This series fixes incorrect kernel header search path in kernel
selftests.

Near the end of the series, a few changes are not tagged as "Fixes"
because the current behavior is to rely on the kernel sources uapi files
rather than on the installed kernel header files. Nevertheless, those
are updated for consistency.

There are situations where "../../../../include/" was added to -I search
path, which is bogus for userspace tests and caused issues with types.h.
Those are removed.


Thanks again for taking care of this. I did out of tree build testing on
x86 on linux-kselftest next with these patches below. I haven't seen
any problems introduced by the patch set.

   selftests: dma: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path
This one needs a change and I will send a patch on top of yours.
Even with that this test depends on unexported header from the
repo and won't build out of tree. This is not related to your
change.

   selftests: mount_setattr: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path
This one fails to build with our without patch - an existing error.

I have to do cross-build tests on arm64 and other arch patches still.
This will happen later this week.

arm64, s390 patches look good.


I am seeing problem with selftests/dma and selfttests/user_events.

1. selftests: dma: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path

dma test no longer builds. This test depends on linux/map_benchmark.h
which is not included in uapi

The order of include directorries -isystem followed by installed kernel
headers, breaks the test build with the change to use KHDR_INCLUDES


I am going to revert this patch for now and figure a longer term fix.
The problem is the dependency on a non-uapi file: linux/map_benchmark.h

Fixes: 8ddde07a3d28 ("dma-mapping: benchmark: extract a common
header file for map_benchmark definition") change added this
dependency on including linux/map_benchmark.h

Christoph, Do you see this map_benchmark.h as part of uapi?


2. selftests: user_events: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path
This one depends on linux/user_events.h which has bee removed from
uapi in this commit:

commit 5cfff569cab8bf544bab62c911c5d6efd5af5e05
Author: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Apr 1 14:39:03 2022 -0400

    tracing: Move user_events.h temporarily out of include/uapi

This isn't a regression from 6.2 - this test stopped building once
user_events.h has been removed from uapi. I will add a note that
this test depends on a non-uapi header and can't be built at the
moment.

thanks,
