Subject: linux/const.h: move UL() macro to include/linux/const.h
From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2dd8a62c647691161a2346546834262597739872 upstream.
ARM, ARM64 and UniCore32 duplicate the definition of UL():
#define UL(x) _AC(x, UL)
This is not actually arch-specific, so it will be useful to move it to a
common header. Currently, we only have the uapi variant for
linux/const.h, so I am creating include/linux/const.h.
I also added _UL(), _ULL() and ULL() because _AC() is mostly used in
the form either _AC(..., UL) or _AC(..., ULL). I expect they will be
replaced in follow-up cleanups. The underscore-prefixed ones should
be used for exported headers.
