[Bug 583733] Re: [powerpc] asm/ptrace.h change in 2.6.34 breaks eglibc build

[Andy Whitcroft]

The headers reported here are the post-munging headers as exposed in
linux-libc-dev.  As a result they differ from the upstream commits.
This include was introduced by the commit below:

  commit 3162d92dfb79a0b5fc03380b8819fa5f870ebf1e
  Author: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
  Date:   Mon Feb 8 11:51:05 2010 +0000

    powerpc: Extended ptrace interface

Which introduced this fragment:

  +#ifdef __KERNEL__
  +#include <linux/types.h>
  +#else
  +#include <stdint.h>
  +#endif
  +
   #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__

Now for the kernel this is fine as the linux/types.h is asm protected
also.  For userspace not so much.  Looking over all of the consumers of
the types which are added they are all __ASSEMBLY__ protected, so it
seems entirly reasonable to move this whole assemblage into the #ifndef
__ASSEMBLY__ section.
