If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Weißschuh [ Upstream commit 79ced850e549e8c86b772a79ea417a1425b5c04b ] 'struct __kernel_old_timespec' represents the 'native' time ABI of the kernel. On 32-bit systems it uses 32-bit fields and on 64-bit systems it uses 64-bit fields. However the x86 x32 ABI uses the 64-bit time ABI natively. This is correctly handled for the 'tv_sec' fields, through the typedefs of '__kernel_old_time_t' -> '__kernel_long_t' -> 'long long'. The same treatment was missed for 'tv_nsec'. In practice this might not make much of a difference as the value of 'tv_nsec' will always fit into 32 bits and the missing bits fall into the padding of the structure. When introspecting the structure however, a difference can be observed. Switch to 64-bit tv_nsec on x32. No other architectures or ABIs are affected. While this could be interpreted as violating the POSIX requirement of 'timespec::tv_nsec' being 'long': * __kernel_old_timespec is not actually the POSIX timespec type * the requirement is gone in newer versions of POSIX * this matches glibc Fixes: 94c467ddb273 ("y2038: add __kernel_old_timespec and __kernel_old_time_t") Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260504-timespec-x32-v2-1-0739c9047fc4@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- include/uapi/linux/time_types.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/time_types.h b/include/uapi/linux/time_types.h index bcc0002115d39..03a0d8aaadca5 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/time_types.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/time_types.h @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ struct __kernel_old_timeval { struct __kernel_old_timespec { __kernel_old_time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */ - long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */ + __kernel_long_t tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */ }; struct __kernel_old_itimerval { -- 2.53.0
