當Linux內核在體系結構差異較大的平台之間移植時，會產生與數據類型相關的問題。
.在編譯內核時使用 -Wall -W strict-prototypes 選項, 可以避免很多錯誤的發生
.內核使用的基本數據類型主要有:
int 標准C語言整數類型
u32 32位整數類型
pid_t 特定內核對象pid的類型
.在不同的CPU體系結構上，C語言的數據類型所占空間不一樣。

.內核中的地址是unsigned long類型， 指針大小和long類型相同
.內核提供下列數據類型， 所有類型在頭文件<asm/types.h>中聲明， 這個文件又被頭文件<Linux/types.h>所包含， 下面是 include/asm/typs.h文件
