Let's not add one more __cpuid() define to the individual tests.
We so far have:
tools/testing/selftests/vm/pkey-x86.h
selftests/x86/corrupt_xstate_header.c
Let's move the defines to kselftest.h and remove all these duplicate
defines.
For now you could include vm/pkey-x86.h just to fix the build error
and do the proper cleanup.
Thank you so much for taking a look. We actually do have an
alternative fix that could be considered for the other users of
__cpuid(). Instead of another clone of the kernel's __cpuid() the fix
includes cpuid.h and uses the existing __cpuid_count() from it.
Please see:

This looks good to me.
Thank you very much for taking a look.
We decided against the above fix using __cpuid_count() because we
could not explain why all the existing users of __cpuid() implement
their own and decided to follow the custom instead ...
Most likely, copy and paste and taking the easy route. I looked at a
couple of
defines and I dont't see a difference. If there are differences, that
would be
a bigger concern. The whole idea of not having duplicates is that we
don't have
bugs in these duplicates.
Do you see any problem with including cpuid.h into a selftest? If not,
then we can go back to our original fix of this issue and I could also
submit a change to remove all the __cpuid() clones and replace them
with the library's __cpuid_count().
There are no problems including cpuid.h - where is this though. I
couldn't find
it in my cscope search?
On my system it arrived via user space's libgcc-dev package. This does
not seem to be the first time including files from this source - I did a
quick check and from what I can tell existing includes like stdarg.h,
stdbool.h, stdatomic.h, unwind.h, x86intrin.h ... arrive via libgcc-dev.
Do you still find that cpuid.h is ok to include?
