Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] Add compatibility fixes for KVM selftests with non-glibc C libraries

This patch series adds compatibility fixes for building and running KVM selftests with musl 
and other non-glibc implementations. The changes address missing function definitions, syscall 
numbers, macros, type definitions, and runtime compatibility issues that are otherwise handled 
by glibc.

The series includes both build-time compatibility fixes (missing definitions, type mismatches) 
and runtime fixes (stdbuf compatibility in mixed libc environments) to ensure KVM selftests 
work correctly across different C library implementations.

Changes in v2:
- Split pidfd patch into two separate commits
- Dropped PAGE_SIZE redefinition patch - will root cause warning separately
- Dropped __packed fallback patch - tools infrastructure already handles this correctly
- Dropped pthread_attr_setaffinity_np patch - maintainer provided solution


Aqib Faruqui (7):
  selftests/pidfd: Add architecture-specific fallback definitions for
    pidfd_open
  selftests: harness: Include pidfd.h to get syscall definitions from
    tools/
  selftests: kselftest: Add memfd_create syscall compatibility
  KVM: selftests: Add backtrace fallback
  rseq: selftests: Add non-glibc compatibility fixes
  selftests: Fix stdbuf compatibility in mixed libc environments
  selftests: kselftest: Add ulong typedef for non-glibc compatibility
