From 17c7e7f407085f510a815c0c99b3fd25d5b13110 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2019 22:19:44 +0200 Subject: compat_ioctl: handle PPPIOCGIDLE for 64-bit time_t The ppp_idle structure is defined in terms of __kernel_time_t, which is defined as 'long' on all architectures, and this usage is not affected by the y2038 problem since it transports a time interval rather than an absolute time. However, the ppp user space defines the same structure as time_t, which may be 64-bit wide on new libc versions even on 32-bit architectures. It's easy enough to just handle both possible structure layouts on all architectures, to deal with the possibility that a user space ppp implementation comes with its own ppp_idle structure definition, as well as to document the fact that the driver is y2038-safe. Doing this also avoids the need for a special compat mode translation, since 32-bit and 64-bit kernels now support the same interfaces. The old 32-bit structure is also available on native 64-bit architectures now, but this is harmless. Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-ppp@vger.kernel.org Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: "David S.
