6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 43e8832fed08438e2a27afed9bac21acd0ceffe5 upstream.
This reverts commit 9fc96c7c19df ("selftests: error out if kernel header
files are not yet built").
It turns out that requiring the kernel headers to be built as a
prerequisite to building selftests, does not work in many cases. For
example, Peter Zijlstra writes:
"My biggest beef with the whole thing is that I simply do not want to use
'make headers', it doesn't work for me.
I have a ton of output directories and I don't care to build tools into
the output dirs, in fact some of them flat out refuse to work that way
(bpf comes to mind)." [1]
Therefore, stop erroring out on the selftests build. Additional patches
will be required in order to change over to not requiring the kernel
headers.
