From: Andrew Pinski <apin...@cavium.com> Since we want time_t and some other userland types to be the same between ILP32 and LP64, we define __kernel_long_t to be long long.
To reuse the bulk of LP64 system calls (and data structures), the LP64 kernel data types ('kernel_long', 'kernel_ulong') are exposed as their ILP32 'long long' and 'unsigned long long' equivalents to allow glibc to correctly interpret most data-structures used in the kernel ABI (i.el with the exception of those, that include pointers).
