H A D | osf_sys.c | ce4c2535 Wed Nov 08 09:02:14 CST 2017 Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> alpha: osf_sys.c: use timespec64 where appropriate
Some of the syscall helper functions (do_utimes, poll_select_set_timeout, core_sys_select) have changed over the past year or two to use 'timespec64' pointers rather than 'timespec'. This was fine on alpha, since 64-bit architectures treat the two as the same type.
However, I'd like to change that behavior and make 'timespec64' a proper type of its own even on 64-bit architectures, and that will introduce harmless type mismatch warnings here.
Also, I'm trying to kill off the do_gettimeofday() helper in favor of ktime_get() and related interfaces throughout the kernel.
This changes the get_tv32/put_tv32 helper functions to also take a timespec64 argument rather than timeval, which allows us to simplify some of the syscall helpers a bit and avoid the type warnings.
For the moment, wait4 and adjtimex are still better off with the old behavior, so I'm adding a special put_tv_to_tv32() helper for those.
