6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: John Hubbard jhubbard@nvidia.com
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.
