If a UAPI header has such conflicting + * definitions then the solution is as follows: + * + * * Synchronize the UAPI header and the libc headers so either one can be + * used and such that the ABI is preserved. If this is not possible then + * no simple compatibility interface exists (you need to write translating + * wrappers and rename things) and you can't use this interface. + * + * Then follow this process: + * + * (a) Include libc-compat.h in the UAPI header. + * e.g. #include <linux/libc-compat.h> + * This include must be as early as possible. + * + * (b) In libc-compat.h add enough code to detect that the comflicting + * userspace libc header has been included first. + * + * (c) If the userspace libc header has been included first define a set of + * guard macros of the form __UAPI_DEF_FOO and set their values to 1, else + * set their values to 0. + * + * (d) Back in the UAPI header with the conflicting definitions, guard the + * definitions with: + * #if __UAPI_DEF_FOO + * ... + * #endif + * + * This fixes the situation where the linux headers are included *after* the + * libc headers. To fix the problem with the inclusion in the other order the + * userspace libc headers must be fixed like this: + * + * * For all definitions that conflict with kernel definitions wrap those + * defines in the following: + * #if !__UAPI_DEF_FOO + * ... + * #endif + * + * This prevents the redefinition of a construct already defined by the kernel. + */ +#ifndef _UAPI_LIBC_COMPAT_H +#define _UAPI_LIBC_COMPAT_H + +/* We have included glibc headers... */ +#if defined(__GLIBC__) + +/* Coordinate with glibc netinet/in.h header. */ +#if defined(_NETINET_IN_H) + +/* GLIBC headers included first so don't define anything + * that would already be defined. */ +#define __UAPI_DEF_IN6_ADDR 0 +/* The exception is the in6_addr macros which must be defined + * if the glibc code didn't define them.
