selftests/mm: mseal, self_elf: fix missing __NR_mseal
Patch series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"", v3. Eventually, once the build succeeds on a sufficiently old distro, the idea is to delete $(KHDR_INCLUDES) from the selftests/mm build, and then after that, from selftests/lib.mk and all of the other selftest builds. For now, this series merely achieves a clean build of selftests/mm on a not-so-old distro: Ubuntu 23.04. In other words, after this series is applied, it is possible to delete $(KHDR_INCLUDES) from selftests/mm/Makefile and the build will still succeed. 1. Add tools/uapi/asm/unistd_[32|x32|64].h files, which include definitions of __NR_mseal, and include them (indirectly) from the files that use __NR_mseal. The new files are copied from ./usr/include/asm, which is how we have agreed to do this sort of thing, see [1]. 2. Add fs.h, similarly created: it was copied directly from a snapshot of ./usr/include/linux/fs.h after running "make headers". 3. Add a few selected prctl.h values that the ksm and mdwe tests require. 4. Factor out some common code from mseal_test.c and seal_elf.c, into a new mseal_helpers.h file. 5. Remove local __NR_* definitions and checks. [1] commit e076eaca ("selftests: break the dependency upon local header files") This patch (of 6): The selftests/mm build isn't exactly "broken", according to the current documentation, which still claims that one must run "make headers", before building the kselftests. However, according to the new plan to get rid of that requirement [1], they are future-broken: attempting to build selftests/mm *without* first running "make headers" will fail due to not finding __NR_mseal. Therefore, include asm-generic/unistd.h, which has all of the system call numbers that are needed, abstracted across the various CPU arches. Some explanation in support of this "asm-generic" approach: For most user space programs, the header file inclusion behaves as per this microblaze example, which comes from David Hildenbrand (thanks!): arch/microblaze/include/asm/unistd.h -> #include <uapi/asm/unistd.h> arch/microblaze/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h -> #include <asm/unistd_32.h> -> Generated during "make headers" usr/include/asm/unistd_32.h is generated via arch/microblaze/kernel/syscalls/Makefile with the syshdr command. So we never end up including asm-generic/unistd.h directly on microblaze... [2] However, those programs are installed on a single computer that has a single set of asm and kernel headers installed. In contrast, the kselftests are quite special, because they must provide a set of user space programs that: a) Mostly avoid using the installed (distro) system header files. b) Build (and run) on all supported CPU architectures c) Occasionally use symbols that have so new that they have not yet been included in the distro's header files. Doing (a) creates a new problem: how to get a set of cross-platform headers that works in all cases. Fortunately, asm-generic headers solve that one. Which is why we need to use them here--at least, for particularly difficult headers such as unistd.h. The reason this hasn't really come up yet, is that until now, the kselftests requirement (which I'm trying to eventually remove) was that "make headers" must first be run. That allowed the selftests to get a snapshot of sufficiently new header files that looked just like (and conflict with) the installed system headers. And as an aside, this is also an improvement over past practices of simply open-coding in a single (not per-arch) definition of a new symbol, directly into the selftest code.
