Now that 32-bit architectures have two variants of sys_rt_sigtimedwaid() for 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, we also need to have a second compat system call entry point on the corresponding 64-bit architectures. The traditional system call keeps getting handled by compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait(), and this adds a new compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64() that differs only in the timeout argument type. The naming remains a bit asymmetric for the moment. Ideally we would want to have compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32() for the old version and compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() for the new one to mirror the names of the native entry points, but renaming the existing system call tables causes unnecessary churn. I would suggest renaming all such system calls together at a later point. 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.
