Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
e2bb80d55d
We store elapsed time for a crashed process in struct elf_prstatus using 'timeval' structures. Once glibc starts using 64-bit time_t, this becomes incompatible with the kernel's idea of timeval since the structure layout no longer matches on 32-bit architectures. This changes the definition of the elf_prstatus structure to use __kernel_old_timeval instead, which is hardcoded to the currently used binary layout. There is no risk of overflow in y2038 though, because the time values are all relative times, and can store up to 68 years of process elapsed time. There is a risk of applications breaking at build time when they use the new kernel headers and expect the type to be exactly 'timeval' rather than a structure that has the same fields as before. Those applications have to be modified to deal with 64-bit time_t anyway. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> |

README
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.
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.
