types: use int-ll64 for both aarch32 and aarch64
Since commit 031dbb12 ("AArch32: Add essential Arch helpers"), it is difficult to use consistent format strings for printf() family between aarch32 and aarch64. For example, uint64_t is defined as 'unsigned long long' for aarch32 and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64. Likewise, uintptr_t is defined as 'unsigned int' for aarch32, and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64. A problem typically arises when you use printf() in common code. One solution could be, to cast the arguments to a type long enough for both architectures. For example, if 'val' is uint64_t type, like this: printf("val = %llx\n", (unsigned long long)val); Or, somebody may suggest to use a macro provided by <inttypes.h>, like this: printf("val = %" PRIx64 "\n", val); But, both would make the code ugly. The solution adopted in Linux kernel is to use the same typedefs for all architectures. The fixed integer types in the kernel-space have been unified into int-ll64, like follows: ...
