[PATCH v3 06/26] compat_ioctl: handle PPPIOCGIDLE for 64-bit time_t

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Apr 16 2019 - 16:21:50 EST


The ppp_idle structure is defined in terms of __kernel_time_t, which is
defined as 'long' on all architectures, and this usage is not affected
by the y2038 problem since it transports a time interval rather than an
absolute time.

However, the ppp user space defines the same structure as time_t, which
may be 64-bit wide on new libc versions even on 32-bit architectures.

It's easy enough to just handle both possible structure layouts on
all architectures, to deal with the possibility that a user space ppp
implementation comes with its own ppp_idle structure definition, as well
as to document the fact that the driver is y2038-safe.

Doing this also avoids the need for a special compat mode translation,
since 32-bit and 64-bit kernels now support the same interfaces.
