From 45e877812926c69d643d6274347f79513a4ee934 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. J. Lu" Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:04:27 -0800 Subject: compat: Introduce COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME Allow a compatibility ABI to use a 64-bit time_t and 64-bit members in struct timeval and struct timespec to avoid the Y2038 problem. This will be used for the x32 ABI. Signed-off-by: H.

Peter Anvin" Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:38:00 -0800 Subject: compat: Add helper functions to read/write struct timeval, timespec Add helper functions to read and write struct timeval and struct timespec from userspace. We already had helper functions for reading and writing struct compat_timespec; add a set of functions to do the same with struct timeval, and add a second suite of functions which can be sensitive to COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME and access either 32- or 64-bit time structures. This also exports these helper functions to modules. Rename the existing inlines for converting between struct compat_timeval and native struct timespec so we can have a saner naming convention for the exported functions.
