Subject: uapi/linux/const.h: prefer ISO-friendly __typeof__
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2023 10:27:47 +0100
typeof is (still) a GNU extension, which means that it cannot be used when
building ISO C (e.g. -std=c99). It should therefore be avoided in uapi
headers in favour of the ISO-friendly __typeof__.
Unfortunately this issue could not be detected by
CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST=y as the __ALIGN_KERNEL() macro is not expanded in
any uapi header.
