The patch per se looks fine, except for the "Fixes" tag.

Commit 809216233555 introduces use of asprintf in kselftest_harness.h
which is used by (all ?) selftests, including the rseq ones. However,
the rseq selftests each have the #define _GNU_SOURCE, which would have
been OK without those further changes.

So this patch is more about consolidating where the _GNU_SOURCE is
defined, which is OK with me, but not so much about "fixing" an
issue with commit 809216233555.

A "Fix" is something to be backported to stable kernels, and I
don't think this patch reaches that threshold.

If anything, this patch removes a warning that gets added by
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240509200022.253089-1-edliaw@google.com/T/#mf8438d03de6e2b613da4f86d4f60c5fe1c5f8483
within the same series.

Arguably, each #define _GNU_SOURCE could have been first protected
by a #ifndef guard to eliminate this transient warning, and there
would be nothing to "fix" in this consolidation series.

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
