In a way similar to ARM commit 09096f6a0ee2 ("ARM: 7822/1: add workaround
for ambiguous C99 stdint.h types"), this patch redefines the macros that
are used in stdint.h so its definitions of uint64_t and int64_t are
compatible with those of the kernel.
This patch comes from: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3540001/

This is a NEON acceleration method that can improve
performance by approximately 20%. I got the following
data from the centos 7.5 on Huawei's HISI1616 chip:
[ 93.837726] xor: measuring software checksum speed
[ 93.874039] 8regs : 7123.200 MB/sec
[ 93.914038] 32regs : 7180.300 MB/sec
[ 93.954043] arm64_neon: 9856.000 MB/sec
[ 93.954047] xor: using function: arm64_neon (9856.000 MB/sec)
I believe this code can bring some optimization for
all arm64 platform.
That is patch version 5. Thanks for Ard Biesheuvel's
suggestions.

We tend to name these with an __ASM_ prefix, so it should be:
#ifndef __ASM_NEON_INTRINSICS_H
That said, I notice that the commit you refer to for arch/arm/ actually
places this stuff under uapi/. Is that needed?

Could you elaborate on what the ambiguities / conflicts in the types are
please? I think you can also remove the sentence about directly including
stdint on a freestanding build, since it doesn't seem relevant to the
kernel afaict (we only pull it in via arm_neon.h).

Do we need this __signed__ part?

No, it doesn't. It creates asm/types.h which has been moved into uap/
at a later date (which I guess means we're stuck with it). In
hindsight, it would have been better for ARM to create a neon
instrinsics header file such as this one, since the override is only
needed when you include <arm_neon.h>.

In the kernel, u64/s64 are [un]signed long long, not [un]signed long.
So by redefining these macros to the former, we can force gcc-stdint.h
to define uint64_t / in64_t in a compatible manner.

No that seems redundant to me.
