Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH v2] package/lldpd: fix compilation issue with kernel 7.3 on aarch64
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 09:24:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930072441.174807-1-thbt.cllt@gmail.com> (raw)
lldpd bundles some uapi linux files for old distributions, especially
the types.h one.
Since kernel commit d4bf9e08d412 ("arm64: uapi: Use __u128 instead of
__uint128_t in UAPI headers"), the type __u128 is used by sigcontext.h.
This type is defined in types.h, but the old version bundled by lldpd
does not provide it. This lack leads to the following compilation error:
In file included from ../../../../host/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:30,
from ../../../../host/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/signal.h:301,
from ../../../../host/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/sys/param.h:28,
from privsep_io.c:5:
../../../../host/aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:81:9: error: unknown type name '__u128'; did you mean '__u32'?
81 | __u128 vregs[32];
| ^~~~~~
| __u32
The uapi linux files bundled by lldpd are the ones of kernel 4.19
(https://github.com/lldpd/lldpd/commit/a192a2e91f81), and they are
prepended to the include path, so they shadow the sysroot ones.
Remove them so that lldpd uses the uapi files of the sysroot, but only
when the toolchain provides kernel headers 4.19 or later. With older
headers the bundled files are kept, so those configurations are left
unchanged.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- Only remove the bundled headers for kernel headers >= 4.19
