"please elaborate every time" - I just built on my x86_64 and built
just fine.
The build isn't broken.

I am not saying this isn't a problem, it is good to
understand why and how it is failing before making the change.
I mean to say that the test is failing at run time because the correct
userfaultfd syscall isn't being found with __NR_userfaultfd = 282.
_NR_userfaultfd's value depends on the header. When asm-generic/unistd.h
is included, its value (282) is wrong. I've tested on x86_64.


Okay - how do you know this is wrong? can you provide more details.

git grep _NR_userfaultfd
include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:#define __NR_userfaultfd 282
include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:__SYSCALL(__NR_userfaultfd, sys_userfaultfd)
tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h:#define __NR_userfaultfd 282

The fix is simple. Add the correct header which has _NR_userfaultfd = 323.

I need more details on this number.

thanks,
