Subject: [PATCH 3/4] arm64: Drop stdint.h type overrides from asm/neon-intrinsics.h
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:50:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029135020.272082-9-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029135020.272082-6-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
None of the users of NEON intrinsics include <linux/types.h> anymore,
and so there is no longer a need to override __INT64_TYPE__ and
__UINT64_TYPE__ in order to make the definitions of int64_t and uint64_t
provided by the compiler's freestanding <stdint.h> compatible with the
kernel's. So drop the overrides.
This also means that uint64_t now matches the type that Clang uses for
64-bit quantities in the prototypes of its NEON builtins, and so the
-Wincompatible-pointer-types warnings that are currently being disabled
for all NEON intrinsics code will no longer occur. So drop the pragma
that disables them as well.
