Commit8c1a381a4f("mips: add asm/stat.h to UAPI compile-test coverage") converted as follows: uid_t --> __kernel_uid_t gid_t --> __kernel_gid_t The bit width of __kernel_{uid,gid}_t is 16 or 32-bits depending on architectures. MIPS uses 32-bits for them as in include/uapi/asm-generic/posix_types.h, so the previous conversion is probably fine, but let's stick to the arch-independent conversion just in case. The safe replacements across all architectures are: uid_t --> __kernel_uid32_t gid_t --> __kernel_gid32_t as defined in include/linux/types.h. A similar issue was reported for the android binder.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
