Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
34e06fe4d0
get_seconds() returns an unsigned long can overflow on some architectures and is deprecated because of that. In cachefs, we cast that number to a a 32-bit integer, which will overflow in year 2106 on all architectures. As confirmed by David Howells, the overflow probably isn't harmful in the end, since the timestamps are only used to make the file names unique, but they don't strictly have to be in monotonically increasing order since the files only exist in order to be deleted as quickly as possible. Moving to ktime_get_real_seconds() avoids the deprecated interface. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> |

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.
