	While converting compat system call handlers to work on 32-bit architectures, I found a number of types used in those handlers that are identical between all architectures. Let's move all the identical ones into asm-generic/compat.h to avoid having to add even more identical definitions of those types. For unknown reasons, mips defines __compat_gid32_t, __compat_uid32_t and compat_caddr_t as signed, while all others have them unsigned. This seems to be a mistake, but I'm leaving it alone here. The other types all differ by size or alignment on at least on architecture. compat_aio_context_t is currently defined in linux/compat.h but also needed for compat_sys_io_getevents(), so let's move it into the same place. While we still have not decided whether the 32-bit time handling will always use the compat syscalls, or in which form, I think this is a useful cleanup that we can merge regardless.

2018-04-19	time: Add an asm-generic/compat.h file	Arnd Bergmann	1	-0/+3
	We have a couple of files that try to include asm/compat.h on architectures where this is available. Those should generally use the higher-level linux/compat.h file, but that in turn fails to include asm/compat.h when CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled, unless we can provide that header on all architectures. This adds the asm/compat.h for all remaining architectures to simplify the dependencies. Architectures that are getting removed in linux-4.17 are not changed here, to avoid needless conflicts with the removal patches. Those architectures are broken by this patch, but we have already shown that they have no users. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
