Hi,

On vanilla AlmaLinux 8.7 (CentOS fork) selftests/net/af_unix/diag_uid.c doesn't
compile out of the box, giving the errors:

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds/tools/testing/selftests/net/af_unix'

The correct value is in <uapi/linux/unix_diag.h>:

include/uapi/linux/unix_diag.h:23:#define UDIAG_SHOW_UID 0x00000040 /* show socket's UID */

The fix is as follows:

Apparently, AlmaLinux 8.7 lacks this enum UNIX_DIAG_UID:

Now, this is a change in enums and there doesn't seem to an easy way out
here. (I think I saw an example, but I cannot recall which thread. I will do
more research.)

When I included

# gcc -I ../../../../include diag_uid.c

I've got the following error:

At this point I gave up, as it would be an overkill to change kernel system
header to make a test pass, and this probably wouldn't be accepted upsteam?

Hope this helps. (If we still want to build on CentOS/AlmaLinux/Rocky 8?)

I launched AlmaLinux/RockyLinux 8.7 and 9.2 with images listed in the pages
below.

https://wiki.almalinux.org/cloud/AWS.html#community-amis
https://rockylinux.org/cloud-images/

The kernel versions in each image were :

8.7:
Alma : 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.x86_64
Rocky : 4.18.0-425.10.1.el8_7.x86_64

9.2:
Alma : 5.14.0-284.11.1.el9_2.x86_64
Rocky : 5.14.0-284.11.1.el9_2.x86_64

So, this is not a bug. It's just because v4.18 does not support
UNIX_DIAG_UID, which was introduced in v5.3.

You should install 5.3+ kernel if you want to build the test.

Hi, Kuniyuki,

Good point. However, newer kernel won't save me from old /usr/include
headers, will it?

I was actually testing the 6.4-rc3 on AlmaLinux 8.7, as it is my only
RHEL-based box ...

What would then be the right action?

If it was a #define instead of enum, I'd probably work around and
exclude the test that doesn't fit the kernel, or the system call
would return -EINVAL?

Including from the includes that came with the kernel might be
a solution:

../../../../../include/uapi/linux/unix_diag.h:44: UNIX_DIAG_UID,

Alas, when I try to include, I get these ugly errors:

[marvin@pc-mtodorov af_unix]$ gcc -I ../../../../../include/ diag_uid.c

Minimum reproducer is:

Am I doing something very stupid right now, for actually I see

#include <asm/rwonce.h>

in "include/linux/compiler.h" 248L, 7843C

while actual rwonce.h is in <asm-generic/rwonce.h>

[marvin@pc-mtodorov af_unix]$ find ../../../../../include -name rwonce.h
../../../../../include/asm-generic/rwonce.h
[marvin@pc-mtodorov af_unix]$

I must be doing something wrong, for I see that the kernel compiled
despite not having include/asm ?

When looking at the invocations of rwonce.h in the kernel, they seem to
be equally spread between <asm-generic/rwonce.h> and <asm/rwonce.h> :

[marvin@pc-mtodorov af_unix]$ grep --include="*.[ch]" -n -w rwonce.h -r ../../../../.. 2> /dev/null | less
../../../../../arch/alpha/include/asm/rwonce.h:33:#include <asm-generic/rwonce.h>

../../../../../include/asm-generic/barrier.h:18:#include <asm/rwonce.h>
../../../../../include/kunit/test.h:29:#include <asm/rwonce.h>
../../../../../include/linux/compiler.h:246:#include <asm/rwonce.h>

I figured out I must be doing something wrong or the kernel otherwise
would not build for me.

Eventually, the UNIX_DIAG_UID enum is used in only one place:

ASSERT_EQ(attr->rta_type, UNIX_DIAG_UID);

That particular test should fail in case of kernel older than 5.3.

However, I fell into a terrible mess where one thing breaks the other.

I can't seem to make this work.

Thanks,
Mirsad
