      gdth: replace struct timeval with ktime_get_real_seconds() · 5a412c38
      Alison Schofield authored
      struct timeval will overflow on 32-bit systems in y2038 and is being
      removed from the kernel. Replace the use of struct timeval and
      do_gettimeofday() with ktime_get_real_seconds() which provides a 64-bit
      seconds value and is y2038 safe.
      
      gdth driver requires changes in two areas:
      
      1) gdth_store_event() loads two u32 timestamp fields for ioctl GDTIOCTL_EVENT
      
         These timestamp fields are part of struct gdth_evt_str used for passing
         event data to userspace. At the first instance of an event we do
         (first_stamp=last_stamp="current time"). If that same event repeats,
         we do (last_stamp="current time") AND increment same_count to indicate
         how many times the event has repeated since first_stamp.
      
         This patch replaces the use of timeval and do_gettimeofday() with
         ktime_get_real_seconds() cast to u32 to extend the timestamp fields
         to y2106.
      
         Beyond y2106, the userspace tools (ie. RAID controller monitors) can
         work around the time rollover and this driver would still not need to
         change.
      
         Alternative: The alternative approach is to introduce a new ioctl in gdth
         with the u32 time fields defined as u64.  This would require userspace
         changes now, but not in y2106.
      
      2)  gdth_show_info() calculates elapsed time using u32 first_stamp
      
          It is adding events with timestamps to a seq_file.  Timestamps are
          calculated as the "current time" minus the first_stamp.
      
          This patch replaces the use of timeval and do_gettimeofday() with
          ktime_get_real_seconds() cast to u32 to calculate the timestamp.
      
          This elapsed time calculation is safe even when the time wraps (beyond
          y2106) due to how unsigned subtraction works. A comment has been added
          to the code to indicate this safety.
      
          Alternative: This piece itself doesn't warrant an alternative, but
          if we do introduce a new structure & ioctl with u64 timestamps, this
          would change accordingly.

      The variable is_ver1 is always true and so OSD_CAP_LEN can never be
      used.

      imm: check parport_claim · 9ffeca3e
      Sudip Mukherjee authored
      parport_claim() can fail and we should be checking if we were able to
      claim the port.
