-Subject: [PATCH] utils: fix build against 5.15 libc-headers headers
-
-In kernel v5.15+ stdarg.h is part of the kernel source, and the
-upstream project has a change to prefer that stdarg.h to the
-c-library variant and hence includes it as <linux/stdarg.h>, which
-leads to the following build error:
-
- | In file included from ../vboxsf/include/iprt/types.h:34,
- | from ../vboxsf/include/iprt/string.h:33,
- | from mount.vboxsf.c:53:
- | ../vboxsf/include/iprt/stdarg.h:49:13: fatal error: linux/stdarg.h: No such file or directory
- | 49 | # include <linux/stdarg.h>
- | | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-If we modify our build of the vboxdrivers to have the kernel source
-directory on the include path (to find linux/stdarg.h, that leads
-to the following errors:
-
- In file included from build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/vboxguestdrivers/6.1.28-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/include/stdlib.h:394,

- | 192 | typedef __blkcnt_t blkcnt_t; /* Type to count number of disk blocks. */

-Our libc-headers are safe and don't lead to the potential conflicing
-information that the upstream commit is guarding against. The easiest
-solution is to revert the upstream change and trust our headers.
