[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 03927c8acb63100046260711c06ba28b6b5936fb ]

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.
