This is for input events queued by the uinput driver for the virtual input device. This can be read through uinput_read() fops. I don't think anybody is doing a read on uinput nodes, so another option(Arnd and I considered this) could be not supporting reads on these nodes at all. This is not related to evdev events in the kernel. Currently, this timestamp could be the same format as the evdev timestamps or not. -Deepa _______________________________________________ Y2038 mailing list Y2038@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/y2038
