From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Tina Ruchandani Subject: [PATCH v2] coredump: Use 64bit time for unix time of coredump Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:46:06 +0530 Message-ID: <20150128051606.GA4659@tinar> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Arnd Bergmann , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Alexander Viro To: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org struct timeval on 32-bit systems will have its tv_sec value overflow in year 2038 and beyond. Use a 64 bit value to print time of the coredump in seconds. ktime_get_real_seconds is chosen here for efficiency reasons. Suggested by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Tina Ruchandani --- Changes in v2: - use ktime_get_real_seconds instead of getnstimeofday64 - fix printf format string:should work on 32-bit systems too. --- fs/coredump.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/coredump.c b/fs/coredump.c index b5c86ff..d118c1d 100644 --- a/fs/coredump.c +++ b/fs/coredump.c @@ -32,6 +32,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include @@ -225,9 +226,10 @@ static int format_corename(struct core_name *cn, struct coredump_params *cprm) break; /* UNIX time of coredump */ case 't': { - struct timeval tv; - do_gettimeofday(&tv); - err = cn_printf(cn, "%lu", tv.tv_sec); + time64_t time; + + time = ktime_get_real_seconds(); + err = cn_printf(cn, "%lld", time); break; } /* hostname */ -- 2.2.0.rc0.207.ga3a616c
