2  * Compatibility interface for userspace libc header coordination:
3  *
4  * Define compatibility macros that are used to control the inclusion or
5  * exclusion of UAPI structures and definitions in coordination with another
6  * userspace C library.
7  *
8  * This header is intended to solve the problem of UAPI definitions that
9  * conflict with userspace definitions. If a UAPI header has such conflicting
10  * definitions then the solution is as follows:
11  *
12  * * Synchronize the UAPI header and the libc headers so either one can be
13  *   used and such that the ABI is preserved. If this is not possible then
14  *   no simple compatibility interface exists (you need to write translating
15  *   wrappers and rename things) and you can't use this interface.
16  *
17  * Then follow this process:
18  *
19  * (a) Include libc-compat.h in the UAPI header.
20  *      e.g. #include <linux/libc-compat.h>
21  *     This include must be as early as possible.
22  *
23  * (b) In libc-compat.h add enough code to detect that the comflicting
24  *     userspace libc header has been included first.
25  *
26  * (c) If the userspace libc header has been included first define a set of
27  *     guard macros of the form __UAPI_DEF_FOO and set their values to 1, else
28  *     set their values to 0.
29  *
30  * (d) Back in the UAPI header with the conflicting definitions, guard the
31  *     definitions with:
32  *     #if __UAPI_DEF_FOO
33  *       ...
34  *     #endif
35  *
36  * This fixes the situation where the linux headers are included *after* the
37  * libc headers. To fix the problem with the inclusion in the other order the
38  * userspace libc headers must be fixed like this:
39  *
40  * * For all definitions that conflict with kernel definitions wrap those
41  *   defines in the following:
42  *   #if !__UAPI_DEF_FOO
43  *     ...
44  *   #endif
45  *
46  * This prevents the redefinition of a construct already defined by the kernel.
