From: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8ffdaf9155ebe517cdec5edbcca19ba6e7ee9c3c ] I got this error when building kvm selftests: /usr/bin/ld: /home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/libkvm.a(vmx.o):/home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/evmcs.h:222: multiple definition of `current_evmcs'; /tmp/cco1G48P.o:/home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/evmcs.h:222: first defined here /usr/bin/ld: /home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/libkvm.a(vmx.o):/home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/evmcs.h:223: multiple definition of `current_vp_assist'; /tmp/cco1G48P.o:/home/xz/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests/kvm/include/evmcs.h:223: first defined here I think it's because evmcs.h is included both in a test file and a lib file so the structs have multiple declarations when linking. After all it's not a good habit to declare structs in the header files.
