  7  * general notes:
  8  *
  9  * CONFIG_UID16 is defined if the given architecture needs to
 10  * support backwards compatibility for old system calls.
 11  *
 12  * kernel code should use uid_t and gid_t at all times when dealing with
 13  * kernel-private data.
 14  *
 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.
 18  *
 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)
 21  */

 24 /*
 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.
