Hmm, that's odd. How do you build the tests?

I use "make -C tools/testing/selftests/resctrl" while in the root kernel
source directory. I tried to get the same error you experienced by
compiling some dummy test program with "open" and "O_WRONLY". From the
experiment I found that the "resctrl.h" header provides the declarations
that are causing your errors.

Okay, I'll add that, thanks.
