This is an exported header and you mix wide specific and generic types.
The recommended way is to stick to the __[u]{32,64}int versions + the kernel
specific types as __kernel_pid_t.
In other words avoid use of int, long etc in your exported headers.

For good measure try "make headers_check" and fix all warnings.
But that will NOT find uses of int/long so here you rely on a manual process.

The above is one of several files where this is used.
See full list of arch specific headers that are exported in the file:
include/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm
