[PATCH] rt-tests: backfire: Don't include asm/uaccess.h directly

[Sultan Alsawaf]

From: Sultan Alsawaf <sultan@kerneltoast.com>

Architecture-specific uaccess.h headers can have dependencies on
linux/uaccess.h (i.e., VERIFY_WRITE), so it cannot be included directly.
Since linux/uaccess.h includes asm/uaccess.h, just do that instead.

This fixes compile errors with certain kernels and architectures.

But please in the future

2. Include the maintainers in your patch

Hi,

Thanks for the sign-off. I was following the instructions listed here:
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/communication/send_rt_patches

I couldn't find any documentation of how to send patches for rt-tests. Is there
a different set of patch submission instructions on a wiki somewhere I missed?

Thanks,
Sultan

I guess, that's for rt kernel patches.

For rt-tests see the top level MAINTAINERS file on how to send patches.

Those are the instructions for rt kernel code.
rt-tests is a users space program to test the performance of the rt 
kernel.

Always just check if there is a MAINTAINERS file (there is)
when you clone the git repo.

Thanks

Hmmm. I remember this thing came up years ago in the Debian BTS and then
that backfire module got removed from the Debian package because there
was no need for it.
Just to clarify: is there any need to keep this module or do I mix up
things?

The cost of carrying the code should anyone wish to revive this is very 
small, and it wouldn't take much effort to get it going again.

It could go either way, I'm fine with carrying it for now.
