Subject: [PATCH] genksyms: Teach parser about 128-bit built-in types

__uint128_t crops up in a few files that export symbols to modules, so
teach genksyms about it and the other GCC built-in 128-bit integer types
so that we don't end up skipping the CRC generation for some symbols due
to the parser failing to spot them:

| generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
| ld: arch/arm64/kernel/fpsimd.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 against

Without this patch, we're seeing arm64 build breakage in linux-next
under some configurations.

I wonder if it's safe to treat them as the same type, since
__int128_t and __uint128_t differ in signedness.

If someone exports a symbol with one and changes it to the other, they
would appear to be the same type.

My understanding is that the actual CRC generation for normal symbols is
based purely on the string-representation of the function signature, and
so the underlying type information isn't relevant to that. I can also
confirm that the CRC for an exported symbol that returns a __uint128_t
is not the same if you change it to return a __int128_t instead.

Right.
Applied to linux-kbuild. Thanks!
