  • The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it
    keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian --
    but is strangely absent from mainstream.

    The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the
    target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't
    appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early
    enough. Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO... macros as
    constants fails without this patch.

  • In the spirit of a number of other asm-generic header files,
    generalize asm-generic/ioctl.h to allow arch-specific ioctl.h headers
    to simply override _IOC_SIZEBITS and/or _IOC_DIRBITS before including
    this header file, allowing a number of ioctl.h header files to be
    shortened considerably.
