The series transitions the ppoll, io_getevents, and pselect syscalls to be y2038 safe.
This is part of the work proceeding for syscalls for y2038. It is based on the series [1] from Arnd Bergmann.
The overview of the series is as below:
- Refactor sigmask handling logic for the above syscalls.
- Provide y2038 safe versions of syscalls for all ABIs.
Hi Deepa,
This is a very nice series, sorry for taking way too long before I had a good look at it.
The first two patches in particular are great. The third patch looks like it has a small bug that I commented on, but given how much more thought you have put into this than I did, it's just as possible that I misunderstood it.
I've applied you series locally now, but have not pushed it out yet for linux-next because of that one issue. I'll send a pull request to Thomas for my other patches for now, and a follow-up with these once we have clarified it.
