uapi/linux/const.h: prefer ISO-friendly __typeof__
[ Upstream commit 31088f6f7906253ef4577f6a9b84e2d42447dba0 ]
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.
This matters from a userspace perspective, not a kernel one. uapi
headers and their contents are expected to be usable in a variety of
situations, and in particular when building ISO C applications (with
-std=c99 or similar).
This particular problem can be reproduced by trying to use the
__ALIGN_KERNEL macro directly in application code, say:
#include <linux/const.h>
int align(int x, int a)
{
return __KERNEL_ALIGN(x, a);
}
and trying to build that with -std=c99.
