2018-01-09Input: extend usable life of event timestamps to 2106 on 32 bit systemsDeepa Dinamani
The input events use struct timeval to store event time, unfortunately this structure is not y2038 safe and is being replaced in kernel with y2038 safe structures. Because of ABI concerns we can not change the size or the layout of structure input_event, so we opt to re-interpreting the 'seconds' part of timestamp as an unsigned value, effectively doubling the range of values, to year 2106. Newer glibc that has support for 32 bit applications to use 64 bit time_t supplies __USE_TIME_BITS64 define [1], that we can use to present the userspace with updated input_event layout. The updated layout will cause the compile time breakage, alerting applications and distributions maintainers to the issue. Existing 32 binaries will continue working without any changes until 2038. Ultimately userspace applications should switch to using monotonic or boot time clocks, as realtime clock is not very well suited for input event timestamps as it can go backwards (see a80b83b7b8 "Input: evdev - add CLOCK_BOOTTIME support" by by John Stultz). With monotonic clock the practical range of reported times will always fit into the pair of 32 bit values, as we do not expect any system to stay up for a hundred years without a single reboot.

2016-03-25drivers/input: eliminate INPUT_COMPAT_TEST macroAndrew Morton
INPUT_COMPAT_TEST became much simpler after commit f4056b52845283 ("input: redefine INPUT_COMPAT_TEST as in_compat_syscall()") so we can cleanly eliminate it altogether.

2016-03-22input: redefine INPUT_COMPAT_TEST as in_compat_syscall()Andy Lutomirski
The input compat code should work like all other compat code: for 32-bit syscalls, use the 32-bit ABI and for 64-bit syscalls, use the 64-bit ABI. We have a helper for that (in_compat_syscall()): just use it.

2011-05-12arch/tile: finish enabling support for TILE-Gx 64-bit chipChris Metcalf
This support was partially present in the existing code (look for "__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx. Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file where previously there was just a foo_32.c file. The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx, using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile. Changes to existing files: - <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header. - <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve. It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const. - <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now they have the proper 64-bit contents. Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).

2010-02-08[IA64] Remove COMPAT_IA32 supportTony Luck
This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support. Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

2008-10-27Input: refactor evdev 32bit compat to be shareable with uinputPhilip Langdale
Currently, evdev has working 32bit compatibility and uinput does not. uinput needs the input_event code that evdev uses, so let's refactor it so it can be shared.
