Linux内核在体系结构差异数据类型相关

.当Linux内核在体系结构差异较大的平台之间移植时，会产生与数据类型相关的问题。

.在编译内核时使用 -Wall  -W strict-prototypes 选项, 可以避免很多错误的发生

.内核使用的基本数据类型主要有:
     int           标准C语言整数类型
     u32         32位整数类型
     pid_t       特定内核对象pid的类型

.在不同的CPU体系结构上，C语言的数据类型所占空间不一样。
 

arch	char	short	int	long	ptr	long-long	u8	u16	u32	u64
i686	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8
i386	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8
alpha	1	2	4	8	8	8	1	2	4	8
armv41	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8
ia64	1	2	4	8	8	8	1	2	4	8
m68k	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8
mips	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8
ppc	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8
sparc	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8
sparc64	1	2	4	4	4	8	1	2	4	8

.内核中的地址是unsigned long类型， 指针大小和long类型相同

.内核提供下列数据类型， 所有类型在头文件中声明， 这个文件又被头文件所包含， 下面是 include/asm/typs.h文件
