Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 11:30:31 -0800 From: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@...il.com> To: tglx@...utronix.de, john.stultz@...aro.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, arnd@...db.de, y2038@...ts.linaro.org Subject: [PATCH v2 04/10] arch: introduce CONFIG_64BIT_TIME There are a total of 53 system calls (aside from ioctl) that pass a time_t or derived data structure as an argument, and in order to extend time_t to 64-bit, we have to replace them with new system calls and keep providing backwards compatibility. To avoid adding completely new and untested code for this purpose, we introduce a new CONFIG_64BIT_TIME symbol. Every architecture that supports new 64 bit time_t syscalls enables this config via ARCH_HAS_64BIT_TIME. After this is done for all architectures, the CONFIG_64BIT_TIME symbol will be deleted.
