[PATCH v5 10/10] ARM: oabi-compat: fix oabi epoll sparse warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Jul 26 2021 - 10:12:45 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

As my patches change the oabi epoll definition, I received a report
from the kernel test robot about a pre-existing issue with a mismatched
__poll_t type.

The OABI code was correct when it was initially added in linux-2.16,
but a later (also correct) change to the generic __poll_t triggered a
type mismatch warning from sparse.

As __poll_t is always 32-bit bits wide and otherwise compatible, using
this instead of __u32 in the oabi_epoll_event definition is a valid
workaround.

Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
Fixes: 8ced390c2b18 ("define __poll_t, annotate constants")
Fixes: ee219b946e4b ("uapi: turn __poll_t sparse checks on by default")
Fixes: 687ad0191488 ("[ARM] 3109/1: old ABI compat: syscall wrappers for ABI impedance matching")
