Furthermore, using a variable with __typeof__() doesn't work because __typeof__ retains storage specifiers (const, restrict, volatile). However, we can declare a bitfield using sizeof(), which is legal because sizeof() is a constant expression. This quiets the warning, although the code generated isn't 100% identical from the baseline before 96477b4 x86-32: Add support for 64bit get_user(): [x86-mb is baseline, x86-mm is this commit] text data bss filename 113716147 15858380 35037184 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-allconfig/vmlinux 113716145 15858380 35037184 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-allconfig/vmlinux 12989837 3597944 12255232 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-modconfig/vmlinux 12989831 3597944 12255232 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-modconfig/vmlinux 1462784 237608 1401988 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-noconfig/vmlinux 1462837 237608 1401964 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-noconfig/vmlinux 7938994 553688 7639040 tip.x86-mb/o.i386-pae/vmlinux 7943136 557784 7639040 tip.x86-mm/o.i386-pae/vmlinux 7186126 510572 6574080 tip.x86-mb/o.i386/vmlinux 7186124 510572 6574080 tip.x86-mm/o.i386/vmlinux 103747269 33578856 65888256 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64-allconfig/vmlinux 103746949 33578856 65888256 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64-allconfig/vmlinux 12116695 11035832 20160512 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64-modconfig/vmlinux 12116567 11035832 20160512 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64-modconfig/vmlinux 1700790 380524 511808 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64-noconfig/vmlinux 1700790 380524 511808 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64-noconfig/vmlinux 12413612 1133376 1101824 tip.x86-mb/o.x86_64/vmlinux 12413484 1133376 1101824 tip.x86-mm/o.x86_64/vmlinux Cc: Jamie Lokier Cc: Ville Syrjälä Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Russell King Cc: Linus Torvalds Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130209110031.GA17833@n2100.arm.linux.org.uk Signed-off-by: H.
