Subject: [PATCH] selftests/rseq: Replace glibc-specific __GNUC_PREREQ with portable check
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:37:25 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618193724.589113-2-hisamshar@gmail.com> (raw)
Building the rseq selftests against musl libc fails because musl's
<features.h> does not provide the glibc-specific __GNUC_PREREQ macro:
error: missing binary operator before token '('
Replace __GNUC_PREREQ(11, 1) with an equivalent check using __GNUC__
and __GNUC_MINOR__ directly. This pattern is portable across all C
library implementations and is already used elsewhere in the tools/
tree (e.g., tools/include/linux/string.h).
This also allows removing the #include <features.h>, which was only
needed for __GNUC_PREREQ.
Fixes: 886ddfba933f ("selftests/rseq: Introduce thread pointer getters")
