Subject: [PATCH] linux/types.h: always export 64bit aligned defines
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 04:23:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200801260423.21860.vapier@gentoo.org> (raw)

Some kernel headers exported to userspace rely on these 64bit aligned defines.
However, they are hidden behind __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES at the moment which
means most of the time, they're never actually available.  These these defines
dont actually conflict with normal userspace / C library types, there's no
reason to hide them behind the __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES define.
