当Linux内核在体系结构差异较大的平台之间移植时，会产生与数据类型相关的问题。
.在编译内核时使用 -Wall -W strict-prototypes 选项, 可以避免很多错误的发生
.内核使用的基本数据类型主要有:
int 标准C语言整数类型
u32 32位整数类型
pid_t 特定内核对象pid的类型
.在不同的CPU体系结构上，C语言的数据类型所占空间不一样。
| arch | char | short | int | long | ptr | long-long | u8 | u16 | u32 | u64 |
| i686 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| i386 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| alpha | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| armv41 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| ia64 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| m68k | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| mips | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| ppc | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| sparc | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| sparc64 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
.内核中的地址是unsigned long类型， 指针大小和long类型相同
.内核提供下列数据类型， 所有类型在头文件<asm/types.h>中声明， 这个文件又被头文件<Linux/types.h>所包含， 下面是 include/asm/typs.h文件
