[PATCH v3 02/22] compat: provide compat_ptr() on all architectures

[PATCH v3 02/22] compat: provide compat_ptr() on all architectures

[Arnd Bergmann]

In order to avoid needless #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT checks,
move the compat_ptr() definition to linux/compat.h
where it can be seen by any file regardless of the
architecture.

Only s390 needs a special definition, this can use the
self-#define trick we have elsewhere.

It still suffers from the zero-one-infinity rule failure of the compat
architecture as a whole, but that is a very different problem. In this case
"compat" is obviously meaning "a 32-on-64 ABI" and simply centralizes a common
API, which is a Good Thing[TM].

Is there a reason we cast to u32 directly instead of using compat_uptr_t?

cheers

Probably Al found this to be more explicit at the time when he introduced
it on all the architectures in 2005. I just moved it here and kept the
definition.

Did compat_uptr_t exist back then?
