[merged mm-nonmm-stable] delayacct-fix-uapi-timespec64-definition.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: delayacct: fix uapi timespec64 definition
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     delayacct-fix-uapi-timespec64-definition.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Subject: delayacct: fix uapi timespec64 definition
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 10:59:00 +0100

The custom definition of 'struct timespec64' is incompatible with both the
kernel's internal definition and the glibc type, at least on big-endian
targets that have the tv_nsec field in a different place, and the
definition clashes with any userspace that also defines a timespec64
structure.

Running the header check with -Wpadding enabled produces this output that
warns about the incorrect padding:

usr/include/linux/taskstats.h:25:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 4 bytes [-Werror=padded]

Remove the hack and instead use the regular __kernel_timespec type that is
meant to be used in uapi definitions.
