Subject: selftests/rseq: Fix build with undefined __weak
From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d5ad9aae13dcced333c1a7816ff0a4fbbb052466 upstream.
Commit 3bcbc20942db ("selftests/rseq: Play nice with binaries statically
linked against glibc 2.35+") which is now in Linus' tree introduced uses
of __weak but did nothing to ensure that a definition is provided for it
resulting in build failures for the rseq tests:
rseq.c:41:1: error: unknown type name '__weak'
__weak ptrdiff_t __rseq_offset;
^
rseq.c:41:17: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
__weak ptrdiff_t __rseq_offset;
^
;
rseq.c:42:1: error: unknown type name '__weak'
__weak unsigned int __rseq_size;
^
rseq.c:43:1: error: unknown type name '__weak'
__weak unsigned int __rseq_flags;
Fix this by using the definition from tools/include compiler.h.
