Sorry, I already pushed the local copy patch. I saw your reply later.
But we can continue our discussion to find more proper solution.
I really don't know about this test robot. I just got this build failure logs.
I tried all cases within the kernel source including the kselftest_install.sh.
I guess, what this tests does is, create kernel_headers inside a
folder, then copy all selftests also
inside this folder and then fire the test one by one.
But I really don't have any idea how it works.
For me also, if I have to test my code outside kernel tree, I usually
copy ion.h header file locally and test it.
But, still I have one question about staging tree kernel headers.
How the kernel headers are created in case of Android where it uses
the ion and other headers heavily?
