[PATCH v4 1/4] uapi: Provide DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST()

From: Cristian Ciocaltea <hidden>
Date: 2025-12-19 21:47:30
Also in: dri-devel, linux-rockchip, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Currently DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() is only available for the kernel via
include/linux/math.h.

Expose it to userland as well by adding __KERNEL_DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() as
a common definition in uapi.

Additionally, ensure it allows building ISO C applications by switching
from the 'typeof' GNU extension to the ISO-friendly __typeof__.
