Here is another set of system call changes to prepare the change over to 64-bit time_t. As before, the strategy is to change system calls that take a 'struct timespec' argument over to 'struct __kernel_timespec', which for now is defined to be the same but will get redefined to use a 64-bit time_t argument once we are ready to modify the system call tables. The major change from previous patches is that the plan is no longer to directly use the 'compat' system calls for providing compatibility with the existing 32-bit time_t based entry points. Instead, we rename the compat code to something that makes more sense on 32-bit architectures, e.g. compat_timespec becomes old_timespec32. With the renamed types in place, we change over the 'stat' and 'utimes' families of system calls, sched_rr_get_interval, recvmmsg and rt_sigtimedwait. Another series for poll, select and io_pgetevents is currently being tested. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAABAgAGBQJbnShbAAoJEGCrR//JCVInmWIQAN1l/3DOw0hjln3VYM2xpO6P q0RSQXpB7JxIY6h4eRtJWPhLftjpklmZVAoQ8iThEAeR0gBXa1/sQ3AoK0Y+Ca1Z tOpXE8O73igbbZ9qSCzw1KCcxU4wBIpJJI7y1mGbmJarHL7SgS3vxsxnlGXtepcY 2qViAqalnX0XW5/4wFfwco/8mVJzBloSz6PMDRXuIenP48noI24up9Ho/Kk6ZKbw 7MeLlM982HxnfwbyjENVCOcurYGJOujIQj1g+LbMuPa7P7/PiYqIdqzAUSo50P0+ Yil/k12R8+rsoE4kqtxjLESYrWOdt5guVO4Y2XgPAQEGYsB++93sLKzSMXUTlD2s khuYotYUSL3GMT2MvSO1ZYQOLuYGlyAXKFEqYenUsU/3NxsYSVzkQngI89ZXHmxr vHZINY4k4kGjUneiR6Mvyoo36i5qQSeXKZ+Qb0Njh2lTD2D5H0PaZT3guc9OUnLN SS1LTePzz/QrnKxQCvprnFBPQ1WKXrkk5Sg9MzU0h90tgwz896VqbCgH0qOFdNBd 1iApSoIzyS46wrkn9rOomwOC/ZZQLYMDwCCXxTljtT1xupezlxB60CkWVtNa+Ekh bY7zsUXHiXJ1yLB+f3jZBEnMqxubtsiIfZMwcjMvo948XPE1WgzUU8alUZrpDBiM vayg38FaXyZ24vEPfPce =XuMh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'y2038' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground into timers/core Pull more y2038 work from Arnd Bergman: y2038: convert more syscalls Here is another set of system call changes to prepare the change over to 64-bit time_t.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
