sparc64 is the only architecture on Linux that has a 'timeval' definition with a 32-bit tv_usec but a 64-bit tv_sec. This causes problems for sparc32 compat mode when we convert it to use the new __kernel_timex type that has the same layout as all other 64-bit architectures. To avoid adding sparc64 specific code into the generic adjtimex implementation, this adds a wrapper in the sparc64 system call handling that converts the sparc64 'timex' into the new '__kernel_timex'. At this point, the two structures are defined to be identical, but that will change in the next step once we convert sparc32. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
