Subject[PATCH] do not export kernel's NULL #define to userspace
From
Date
GCC's NULL is actually __null, which allows detecting some questionable
NULL usage and warn about it. Moreover each platform/compiler should have
its own stddef.h anyway (which is different from linux/stddef.h).
So there's no good reason to leak kernel's NULL to userspace and
override what the compiler provides.
