Re: [PATCH] uapi: Make __{u,s}64 match {u,}int64_t in userspace

Hi!

I am all for matching __uN / __sN to uintN_t / intN_t in userspace, but may I suggest the technically simpler and guaranteed-to-be-accurate

 /*
- * int-ll64 is used everywhere now.
+ * int-ll64 is used everywhere in kernel now.
+ * In user space match <stdint.h>.
  */
+#ifdef __KERNEL__
 # include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
+#elif __has_include (<bits/types.h>)
+# include <bits/types.h>
+typedef __int8_t __s8;
+typedef __uint8_t __u8;
+typedef __int16_t __s16;
+typedef __uint16_t __u16;
+typedef __int32_t __s32;
+typedef __uint32_t __u32;
+typedef __int64_t __s64;
+typedef __uint64_t __u64;
+#else
+# include <stdint.h>
+typedef int8_t __s8;
+typedef uint8_t __u8;
+typedef int16_t __s16;
+typedef uint16_t __u16;
+typedef int32_t __s32;
+typedef uint32_t __u32;
+typedef int64_t __s64;
+typedef uint64_t __u64;
+#endif

The middle clause could be dropped if we are okay with all uapi headers potentially exposing the non-implementation-namespace names defined by <stdint.h>.  I do not know what the musl libc equivalent of <bits/types.h> is.

If it's okay to depend on a header defined by a libc this is better
solution.
