Sorry I only just saw this due to some over zealous filtering on my end.

You don't need to specify the rule, the implict one will do exactly the same,
so you can just do:

TEST_PROGS := membarrier_test

all: $(TEST_PROGS)

Why are you exporting that?

I suspect to try and get around the "Attempt to use kernel headers from user space" warning.

But you're correctly building against the installed headers, not the kernel
headers, so you don't need to do that.

This should just be <unistd.h>
