I'm taking this patch, but with the following commit log: Due to the way kbuild works, this header was unintentionally exported back in 2013 when it was created, despite it not being in a uapi/ directory. This is very non-intuitive behaviour by Kbuild. However, we've had this include exported to userland for almost four years, and searching google for "ARM types.h __UINTPTR_TYPE__" gives no hint that anyone has complained about it. So, let's make it officially exported in this state. If anyone has any objections, they better shout sooner rather than later. > > Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/arm/include/asm/types.h | 40 --------------------------------------- > arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/types.h | 40 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 2 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) > delete mode 100644 arch/arm/include/asm/types.h > create mode 100644 arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/types.h > > diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/types.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/types.h > deleted file mode 100644 > index a53cdb8f068c..000000000000 > --- a/arch/arm/include/asm/types.h > +++ /dev/null > @@ -1,40 +0,0 @@ > -#ifndef _ASM_TYPES_H > -#define _ASM_TYPES_H > - > -#include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h> > - > -/* > - * The C99 types uintXX_t that are usually defined in 'stdint.h' are not as > - * unambiguous on ARM as you would expect.
