Subject: [PATCH v2] uapi glibc compat: fix compile errors when glibc net/if.h included before linux/if.h

glibc's net/if.h contains copies of definitions from linux/if.h and these
conflict and cause build failures if both files are included by application
source code. Changes in uapi headers, which fixed header file dependencies to
include linux/if.h when it was needed, e.g. commit 1ffad83d, made the
net/if.h and linux/if.h incompatibilities visible as build failures for
userspace applications like iproute2 and xtables-addons.

This patch fixes compile errors when glibc net/if.h is included before
linux/if.h:

./linux/if.h:99:21: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_NOARP’
./linux/if.h:98:23: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_RUNNING’
./linux/if.h:97:26: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_NOTRAILERS’
./linux/if.h:96:27: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_POINTOPOINT’
./linux/if.h:95:24: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_LOOPBACK’
./linux/if.h:94:21: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_DEBUG’
./linux/if.h:93:25: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_BROADCAST’
./linux/if.h:92:19: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_UP’
./linux/if.h:252:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct ifconf’
./linux/if.h:203:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct ifreq’
./linux/if.h:169:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct ifmap’
./linux/if.h:107:23: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_DYNAMIC’
./linux/if.h:106:25: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_AUTOMEDIA’
./linux/if.h:105:23: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_PORTSEL’
./linux/if.h:104:25: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_MULTICAST’
./linux/if.h:103:21: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_SLAVE’
./linux/if.h:102:22: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_MASTER’
./linux/if.h:101:24: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_ALLMULTI’
./linux/if.h:100:23: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘IFF_PROMISC’

The cases where linux/if.h is included before net/if.h need a similar fix in
the glibc side, or the order of include files can be changed userspace
code as a workaround.

This change was tested in x86 userspace on Debian unstable with
scripts/headers_compile_test.sh:

$ make headers_install && \
  cd usr/include && ../../scripts/headers_compile_test.sh -l -k
...
cc -Wall -c -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc/i586-linux-gnu/5/include -I /usr/lib/gcc/i586-linux-gnu/5/include-fixed -I . -I /home/mcfrisk/src/linux-2.6/usr/headers_compile_test_include.2uX2zH -I /home/mcfrisk/src/linux-2.6/usr/headers_compile_test_include.2uX2zH/i586-linux-gnu -o /dev/null ./linux/if.h_libc_before_kernel.h
PASSED libc before kernel test: ./linux/if.h
