Results from Linaro’s test farm. Following build regressions noticed while building selftests/vm/hugetlb-madvise.c with kselftest-merge configs.
Reported-by: Linux Kernel Functional Testing lkft@linaro.org

I think we should drop the patch "[PATCH 6.1 012/208] selftests/vm: remove __USE_GNU in hugetlb-madvise.c" from this merge.
That patch fixes commit 62f33fa22800 ("selftests/vm: use memfd for hugetlb-madvise test"), but that's only in 6.2-rc1 and it's not in 6.1.
I don't really know why it got picked for 6.1 stable backport, because the original patch doesn't contain "CC: stable".
Now dropped, thanks!
