From 90b6ce9c4066e0b2098dff65e52e6e7df1a51079 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "pang.xunlei" Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 19:15:18 +0800 Subject: time: Provide y2038 safe mktime() replacement As part of addressing "y2038 problem" for in-kernel uses, this patch adds safe mktime64() using time64_t. After this patch, mktime() is deprecated and all its call sites will be fixed using mktime64(), after that it can be removed.
