Gentle ping on this patch; it has been on the list since Aug 3 without

Patience, please. This is on my list of things to grab for 7.4. You posted
right
at the end of a cycle, shortly before the merge window, and the code in question
has existed for years, i.e. it didn't seem urgent enough to squeeze into 7.3.
If this is the very last thing needed to unblock musl builds of KVM selftests,
than that changes things, but IIRC there are other "fix selftests builds with
musl"
patches floating around.
No, this isn't the last blocker. I verified with musl-gcc on x86_64:
with only this patch applied, the build still fails in steal_time.c on
pthread_attr_setaffinity_np() -- it also needs your task-pinning fix
("KVM: selftests: Use KVM's task pinning APIs in steal_time", which I
resent). With both applied, the musl build passes.
The musl build failure it fixes is still present in current trees, and
the v1 feedback was addressed in this version. Could it be queued in
kvm-next?
Thanks,
Hisam
