Bug#406747: linux-kernel-headers: private symbols u16 and u32 used in asm/system.h on i386



Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.6.18-6
Severity: important

asm/system.h (line 306-308) uses the private symbols u8, u16 and u32:

| extern unsigned long cmpxchg_386_u8(volatile void *, u8, u8);
| extern unsigned long cmpxchg_386_u16(volatile void *, u16, u16);
| extern unsigned long cmpxchg_386_u32(volatile void *, u32, u32);

These are defined inside an #ifdef __KERNEL__ in asm/types.h, with the
following comment:

|  * These aren't exported outside the kernel to avoid name space clashes
