Hi All,
We found BPF sefltest fail to build with following error:

It happens from the commit e30bc19a9ee8("bpf: Allow reads from uninit stack"). We did a further look, '__failure' is defined in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/bpf_misc.h, and was 1st introduced in commit 537c3f66eac1("selftests/bpf: add generic BPF program tester-loader") which is not backported to linux-5.15.y.
So we may need to revert the patch, or fix it.
Kind regards,
Sherry
