That downside is worse when people only quickly skim your message for clues while thinking about the problem they _think_ they've spotted (like I did).
For reference, see below for the ARM patch.
And then it occurred to me to check the y2038-syscalls git branch you referenced. After which the above made much more sense. (Though my remark that ARCH_HAS_COMPAT_TIME simply functions as an alias for COMPAT also seems to hold for that branch.)
Right, in fact both of these happen at the end of the git tree.
Still, you might consider making ARCH_HAS_COMPAT_TIME a plain bool and adding "select ARCH_HAS_COMPAT_TIME" to the eight or so COMPAT entries. But, clearly, I'm now wasting even more of your time by trying to save face here.
Thanks,
