Subject: [PATCH] arm64: uid16: fix __kernel_old_{gid,uid}_t definitions
Date: Mon,  2 Jun 2014 11:47:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401706049-1787-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)

Whilst native arm64 applications don't have the 16-bit UID/GID syscalls
wired up, compat tasks can still access them. The 16-bit wrappers for
these syscalls use __kernel_old_uid_t and __kernel_old_gid_t, which must
be 16-bit data types to maintain compatibility with the 16-bit UIDs used
by compat applications.

This patch defines 16-bit __kernel_old_{gid,uid}_t types for arm64
instead of using the 32-bit types provided by asm-generic.
