Sorry, it's still sitting in my inbox :/

I was going to reply to suggest we split the tools change out. The
headers under tools are usually updated by another maintainer, I think
it might even be scripted.

Anyway I've applied your patch and done that (dropped the change to
tools/.../errno.h), which should also mean the stable backport is more
likely to work automatically.

It will hit mainline in v5.13-rc1 and then be backported to the stable
trees.

I don't think you actually need the tools version of the header updated
to fix your bug? In which case we can probably just wait for it to be
updated automatically when the tools headers are sync'ed with the kernel
versions.

cheers
