[PATCH v2 1/2] tools: linux/types.h: Add 128-bit integer types for arm64 UAPI structures

From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-06-26 14:17:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The arm64 UAPI exposes some 128-bit integer types to represent things
such as fpsimd registers in the sigcontext. In preparation for defining
these using the '__u128' typedef implemented by uapi/linux/types.h, copy
that typedef over to the private linux/types.h header used by the tools
directory.
