+ * CONFIG_UID16 is defined if the given architecture needs to
+ * support backwards compatibility for old system calls.
+ *
+ * kernel code should use uid_t and gid_t at all times when dealing with
+ * kernel-private data.
+ *
+ * old_uid_t and old_gid_t should only be different if CONFIG_UID16 is
+ * defined, else the platform should provide dummy typedefs for them
+ * such that they are equivalent to __kernel_{u,g}id_t.
+ *
+ * uid16_t and gid16_t are used on all architectures. (when dealing
+ * with structures hard coded to 16 bits, such as in filesystems)
+ */

+/*
+ * This is the "overflow" UID and GID. They are used to signify uid/gid
+ * overflow to old programs when they request uid/gid information but are
+ * using the old 16 bit interfaces.
+ * When you run a libc5 program, it will think that all highuid files or
+ * processes are owned by this uid/gid.
+ * The idea is that it's better to do so than possibly return 0 in lieu of
+ * 65536, etc.
