The series aims at adding a new y2038-safe struct __kernel_itimerspec. This is intended to replace the struct itimerspec at ABI level.
The series is a continuation of efforts to convert all syscalls with time_t or time_t-derived structures to be y2038-safe.
Arnd, maybe this series can go along with the rest of syscalls that you have in your y2038 tree?
Deepa Dinamani (3): time: Introduce struct __kernel_itimerspec time: Enable get/put_compat_itimerspec64 always time: Change types to new y2038 safe __kernel_itimerspec
