  1. /*
  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.
