The series introduces struct __kernel_timex as a substitute for the non y2038 safe struct timex.
The series is based on the original series posted by Arnd Bergmann in [1]. The overview of the series is as below: 1. Prepare for the compat timex interfaces to be used unconditionally. 2. Introduce struct __kernel_timex. 3. Use struct __kernel_timex in place of struct timex. 4. Switch syscalls to use struct __kernel_timex. Deepa Dinamani (6): arm64: Make basic compat_* types always available sparc: Make thread_info.h available directly timex: prepare compat helpers for y2038 changes time: Add struct __kernel_timex timex: use __kernel_timex internally timex: change syscalls to use struct __kernel_timex arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/include/asm/compat.h | 22 ++++----- arch/sparc/include/asm/compat.h | 2 + drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c | 2 +- include/asm-generic/compat.h | 8 +++- include/linux/compat.h | 33 -------------- include/linux/compat_time.h | 34 ++++++++++++++ include/linux/posix-clock.h | 2 +- include/linux/syscalls.h | 5 +-- include/linux/timex.h | 9 +++- include/uapi/linux/timex.h | 41 +++++++++++++++++ kernel/compat.c | 63 -------------------------- kernel/time/ntp.c | 12 ++--- kernel/time/ntp_internal.h | 2 +- kernel/time/posix-clock.c | 2 +- kernel/time/posix-timers.c | 14 ++---- kernel/time/posix-timers.h | 2 +- kernel/time/time.c | 80 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- kernel/time/timekeeping.c | 4 +- 19 files changed, 198 insertions(+), 141 deletions(-) base-commit: 69877f06915f1c7a9f1704442993bcc12c13ace2 -- 2.17.1 Cc: catalin.mari...@arm.com Cc: da...@davemloft.net Cc: linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-...@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-a...@vger.kernel.org Cc: net...@vger.kernel.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
