Subject: [PATCH] arm64: uapi: Use __u128 instead of __uint128_t in UAPI headers
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 14:08:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619130835.5678-1-will@kernel.org> (raw)
The arm64 UAPI exposes '__uint128_t' types in the members of
'struct user_fpsimd_state', 'struct user_pac_address_keys' and in the
signal frame via 'struct fpsimd_context'. Since the alignment of such
a type appears to be non-portable (16 bytes on arm64, 8 bytes on s390),
prefer the '__u128' typedef from uapi/linux/types.h, which makes the
alignment explicit and allows the definitions to be reused by other
host architectures.

This aims to help a little with the s390/arm64 KVM series at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260529155050.2902245-1-seiden@linux.ibm.com
by allowing the relevant parts of the arm64 UAPI to be used directly by
s390 rather than copied and modified.
I think it's a straightforward change, but the only thing that makes me
pause for thought is whether there are toolchains out there which accept
__uint128_t but not __int128. Then again, if that crops up as an issue
we can probably just tweak the typedef we have in uapi/linux/types.h.
