7 * general notes:
9 * CONFIG_UID16 is defined if the given architecture needs to
10 * support backwards compatibility for old system calls.
12 * kernel code should use uid_t and gid_t at all times when dealing with
13 * kernel-private data.
15 * old_uid_t and old_gid_t should only be different if CONFIG_UID16 is
16 * defined, else the platform should provide dummy typedefs for them
17 * such that they are equivalent to __kernel_{u,g}id_t.
19 * uid16_t and gid16_t are used on all architectures. (when dealing
20 * with structures hard coded to 16 bits, such as in filesystems)
25 * This is the "overflow" UID and GID. They are used to signify uid/gid
26 * overflow to old programs when they request uid/gid information but are
27 * using the old 16 bit interfaces.
28 * When you run a libc5 program, it will think that all highuid files or
29 * processes are owned by this uid/gid.
30 * The idea is that it's better to do so than possibly return 0 in lieu of
31 * 65536, etc.
