From: Chandra Seetharaman Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 10:03:04 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc4~149 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=822cfbff2ef49a08d1b9618d50f81b475d4f936c;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field (struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes. This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system. Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov. This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which stores the number of nanoseconds. Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit application and on a i386 system.
