    Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0 · 6e16d89b
    H. Peter Anvin authored
    struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
    architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
    a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
    which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
    just makes the code messy.
    
    Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
    on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
    instead of hand-coded arithmetic.
