Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] tools headers: Update the linux/unaligned.h copy with the kernel sources
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 22:48:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250626054826.433453-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250626054826.433453-1-irogers@google.com>
To pick up the changes in:
fe9b2b7b3583 vdso: Switch get/put unaligned from packed struct to memcpy
As the code is dependent on __unqual_scalar_typeof, update the tools
version of compiler_types.h to include this.
