    asm-generic: Move common compat types to asm-generic/compat.h · fb373975
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    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.
