Subject[PATCH 0/3] arm64/sve: UAPI: Disentangle ptrace.h from sigcontext.h
Date
This patch refactors the UAPI header definitions for the Arm SVE
extension to avoid multiple-definition problems when userspace mixes its
own sigcontext.h definitions with the kernel's ptrace.h (which is
apparently routine).

A common backend header is created to hold common definitions, suitably
namespaced, and with an appropriate header guard.

See the commit message in patch 3 for further explanation of why this
is needed.

Because of the non-trivial header guard in the new sve_context.h, patch
1 adds support to headers_install.sh to munge #if defined(_UAPI_FOO) in
a similar way to the current handling of #ifndef _UAPI_FOO.

Dave Martin (3):
