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)

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.
