maintainer's note: at some point, probably long before linux separated the uapi headers, it was the case, or at least I believed it was the case, that linux/types.h was unsafe to include from userspace. thus, the inclusion guard macro _LINUX_TYPES_H was defined in sys/kd.h to prevent linux/kd.h from including linux/types.h (which it spuriously includes but does not use). as far as I can tell, whatever problem this was meant to solve does not seem to have been present for a long time, and the hack was not done correctly anyway, so removing it is the right thing to do.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
