Can you rebase this on top of linux-next?  I have a conflicting fix[*] for the
KVM selftests queued for 6.10, and I would prefer not to drop that commit at
this stage as it would require a rebase of a pile of other commits.

And I doubt KVM is the only subsystem that has a targeted fix for the _GNU_SOURCE
mess.

If we want/need to get a fix into 6.9, then IMO we should just revert 809216233555
("selftests/harness: remove use of LINE_MAX"), as that came in quite late in the
6.9 cycle, and I don't think it's feasible to be 100% confident that globally
defining _GNU_SOURCE works for all selftests, i.e. we really should have a full
cycle for folks to test.
