linux/compiler.h: Split into compiler.h and compiler_types.h
linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via uapi/linux/types.h -> uapi/linux/posix_types.h -> linux/stddef.h -> uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of offsetof. Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats such as: In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0, from include/linux/stddef.h:4, from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11: include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty': >> include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \ ^ A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h, but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures (e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile. This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE(). uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.
