Apparently as of version 2.42, glibc headers define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE
and some of the other flags for renameat2() and friends in <stdio.h>.
Which would all be fine, except for inexplicable reasons glibc decided
to define them _differently_ from the kernel definitions, which then
makes some of our sample code that includes both kernel headers and user
space headers unhappy, because the compiler will (correctly) complain
about redefining things.
Now, mixing kernel headers and user space headers is always a somewhat
iffy proposition due to namespacing issues, but it's kind of inevitable
in our sample and selftest code. And this is just glibc being stupid.
Those defines come from the kernel, glibc is exposing the kernel
interfaces, and glibc shouldn't make up some random new expressions for
these values.
It's not like glibc headers changed the actual result values, but they
arbitrarily just decided to use a different expression to describe those
values. The kernel just does
#define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE 0x0001
while glibc does
# define RENAME_NOREPLACE (1 << 0)
# define AT_RENAME_NOREPLACE RENAME_NOREPLACE
instead. Same value in the end, but very different macro definition.
For absolutely no reason.
This has since been fixed in the glibc development tree, so eventually
we'll end up with the canonical expressions and no clashes. But in the
meantime the broken headers are in the glibc-2.42 release and have made
it out into distributions.
Do a minimal work-around to make the samples build cleanly by just
undefining the affected macros in between the user space header include
and the kernel header includes.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
