     5     headers_install: fix __packed in exported kernel headers
     6     
     7     checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)) in kernel
     8     headers: "__packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))". If one
     9     follows that advice it could cause problems in the exported header
    10     files, because the outside world doesn't know about this shortcut.
    11     
    12     For example busybox will fail to compile:
    13      CC      miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.o
    14      In file included from miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.c:27:0:
    15      /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:330:3: error: conflicting types for ‘__packed’
    16      /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:314:3: note: previous declaration of ‘__packed’ was here
    17     ...
    18     
    19     Fix the problem by substituting __packed with __attribute__((packed)) in
    20     the header_install.pl script.
