On Ubuntu 23.04, the kvm and mdwe selftests/mm build fails due to
missing a few items that are found in prctl.h. Here is an excerpt of the
build failures:
ksm_tests.c:252:13: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE'
...
mdwe_test.c:26:18: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PR_SET_MDWE'
mdwe_test.c:38:18: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PR_GET_MDWE'
Fix these errors by adding a new tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h . This
file was created by running "make headers", and then copying a snapshot
over from ./usr/include/linux/prctl.h, as per the approach we settled on
in [1].

header files")

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.
