From e2bb80d55d75ce7fd300fcd8d47a97413c3cd322 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2017 13:46:33 +0100 Subject: y2038: elfcore: Use __kernel_old_timeval for process times We store elapsed time for a crashed process in struct elf_prstatus using 'timeval' structures. Once glibc starts using 64-bit time_t, this becomes incompatible with the kernel's idea of timeval since the structure layout no longer matches on 32-bit architectures. This changes the definition of the elf_prstatus structure to use __kernel_old_timeval instead, which is hardcoded to the currently used binary layout. There is no risk of overflow in y2038 though, because the time values are all relative times, and can store up to 68 years of process elapsed time. There is a risk of applications breaking at build time when they use the new kernel headers and expect the type to be exactly 'timeval' rather than a structure that has the same fields as before. Those applications have to be modified to deal with 64-bit time_t anyway.
