The series introduces struct __kernel_timex as a substitute for
the non y2038 safe struct timex.
The series is based on the original series posted by Arnd Bergmann
in [1].
The overview of the series is as below:
1. Prepare for the compat timex interfaces to be used unconditionally.
2. Introduce struct __kernel_timex.
3. Use struct __kernel_timex in place of struct timex.
4. Switch syscalls to use struct __kernel_timex.
Deepa Dinamani (6):
arm64: Make basic compat_* types always available
sparc: Make thread_info.h available directly
timex: prepare compat helpers for y2038 changes
time: Add struct __kernel_timex
timex: use __kernel_timex internally
timex: change syscalls to use struct __kernel_timex
