Subject: kbuild: uapi: Strip comments before size type check
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=66128f4287b04aef4d4db9bf5035985ab51487d5;p=users%2Fhch%2Fmisc.git

kbuild: uapi: Strip comments before size type check

On m68k, check_sizetypes in headers_check reports:

    ./usr/include/asm/bootinfo-amiga.h:17: found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h>

This header file does not use any of the Linux-specific integer types,
but merely refers to them from comments, so this is a false positive.
As of commit c3a9d74ee413bdb3 ("kbuild: uapi: upgrade check_sizetypes()
warning to error"), this check was promoted to an error, breaking m68k
all{mod,yes}config builds.

Fix this by stripping simple comments before looking for Linux-specific
integer types.
