Release 4.7 include/uapi/linux/libc-compat.h
/*
* Compatibility interface for userspace libc header coordination:
*
* Define compatibility macros that are used to control the inclusion or
* exclusion of UAPI structures and definitions in coordination with another
* userspace C library.
*
* This header is intended to solve the problem of UAPI definitions that
* conflict with userspace definitions. If a UAPI header has such conflicting
* definitions then the solution is as follows:
*
* * Synchronize the UAPI header and the libc headers so either one can be
* used and such that the ABI is preserved. If this is not possible then
* no simple compatibility interface exists (you need to write translating
* wrappers and rename things) and you can't use this interface.
*
* Then follow this process:
*
* (a) Include libc-compat.h in the UAPI header.
* e.g. #include <linux/libc-compat.h>
* This include must be as early as possible.
*
* (b) In libc-compat.h add enough code to detect that the comflicting
* userspace libc header has been included first.
*
* (c) If the userspace libc header has been included first define a set of
* guard macros of the form __UAPI_DEF_FOO and set their values to 1, else
* set their values to 0.
*
* (d) Back in the UAPI header with the conflicting definitions, guard the
* definitions with:
* #if __UAPI_DEF_FOO
* ...
* #endif
*
* This fixes the situation where the linux headers are included *after* the
* libc headers. To fix the problem with the inclusion in the other order the
* userspace libc headers must be fixed like this:
*
* * For all definitions that conflict with kernel definitions wrap those
* defines in the following:
* #if !__UAPI_DEF_FOO
* ...
* #endif
*
* This prevents the redefinition of a construct already defined by the kernel.
