Re: [PATCH bpf] libbpf: Handle GCC built-in types for Arm NEON

When building Arm NEON (SIMD) code, GCC emits built-in types __PolyXX_t,
which are not recognized by Clang. This causes build failures when
including vmlinux.h generated from a kernel built with CONFIG_RAID6_PQ=y
and CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON. Emit typedefs for these built-in types,
based on the Clang definitions. poly64_t is unsigned long because it's
only defined for 64-bit Arm.

Including linux/kernel.h to use ARRAY_SIZE() incidentally redefined
max(), causing a build bug due to different types, hence the seemingly
unrelated change.

Looks like this was fixed here [0], but not available on older clang/LLVM
versions, right?

[...]
+static const char *builtin_types[][2] = {
+	/*
+	 * GCC emits typedefs to its internal __PolyXX_t types when compiling
+	 * Arm SIMD intrinsics. Alias them to the same standard types as Clang.
+	 */
+	{ "__Poly8_t",		"unsigned char" },
+	{ "__Poly16_t",		"unsigned short" },
+	{ "__Poly64_t",		"unsigned long" },
+	{ "__Poly128_t",	"unsigned __int128" },

In that above LLVM link [0], they typefdef this to signed types ... which one
is correct now?

  // For now, signedness of polynomial types depends on target
  OS << "#ifdef __aarch64__\n";
  OS << "typedef uint8_t poly8_t;\n";
  OS << "typedef uint16_t poly16_t;\n";
  OS << "typedef uint64_t poly64_t;\n";
  OS << "typedef __uint128_t poly128_t;\n";
  OS << "#else\n";
  OS << "typedef int8_t poly8_t;\n";
  OS << "typedef int16_t poly16_t;\n";
  OS << "typedef int64_t poly64_t;\n";
  OS << "#endif\n";
