Hi,

Jason A. Donenfeld, I've added you because I ended up looking through
your latest "implement getrandom() in vDSO" series [1], which also
touches this Makefile, so just a heads up about upcoming (minor) merge
conflicts.

Changes since v2:

1. Added two patches, both of which apply solely to the Makefile.
These provide a smaller, cleaner, and more accurate Makefile.

2. Added Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags for the original patch, which
fixes all of the clang errors and warnings for this selftest.

3. Removed an obsolete blurb from the commit description of the original
patch, now that Valentin Obst LLVM build fix has been merged.

Belatedly adding Carlos Llamas and Thomas Gleixner to Cc.

Also Cc'ing Thomas Gleixner on this one, sorry for the omission.

Hi Shuah, Andy, Thomas,

Patches 2 and 3 fix up the Makefile, and I'm particularly eager to get
those merged into 6.10, because the existing Makefile is leading people
astray. See the thread in [2] for an example of that.

As a result, Jason Donenfeld is now waiting for this, for his "implement
getrandom() in vDSO" series.

The Makefile is more of a kselftest infrastructure thing in a way, so
maybe Shuah can pull this in? I'm casting about for ways to move forward.
