struct timespec is not y2038 safe. struct __kernel_timespec is the new y2038 safe structure for all syscalls that are using struct timespec. Update pselect interfaces to use struct __kernel_timespec. sigset_t also has different representations on 32 bit and 64 bit architectures. Hence, we need to support the following different syscalls: New y2038 safe syscalls: (Controlled by CONFIG_64BIT_TIME for 32 bit ABIs) Native 64 bit(unchanged) and native 32 bit : sys_pselect6 Compat : compat_sys_pselect6_time64 Older y2038 unsafe syscalls: (Controlled by CONFIG_32BIT_COMPAT_TIME for 32 bit ABIs) Native 32 bit : pselect6_time32 Compat : compat_sys_pselect6 Note that all other versions of select syscalls will not have y2038 safe versions.

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.
