SubjectRecent changes to sysctl.h breaks glibc
From
Date
Hi

Some recent changes to include/linux/sysctl.h breaks glibc.

Problem is that __sysctl_args have been modified to use '__user',
but that is only defined if __KERNEL__ is defined, because that
is the only time compiler.h is included.

Question: Is this expected behaviour ?


Thanks,
