[PATCH 16/17] genksyms: fix syntax error for builtin (u)int*x*_t types

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon Jan 13 2025 - 10:17:37 EST


A longstanding issue with genksyms is that it has hidden syntax errors.

When a syntax error occurs, yyerror() is called. However,
error_with_pos() is a no-op unless the -w option is provided.

You can observe syntax errors by manually passing the -w option.

For example, genksyms fails to parse the following code in
arch/arm64/lib/xor-neon.c:

static inline uint64x2_t eor3(uint64x2_t p, uint64x2_t q, uint64x2_t r)
{
[ snip ]
}

The syntax error occurs because genksyms does not recognize the
uint64x2_t keyword.

This commit adds support for builtin types described in Arm Neon
Intrinsics Reference.
