MIPS is the weirdest case for sysvipc, because each of the three data structures is done differently: * msqid64_ds has padding in the right place so we could in theory extend this one to just have 64-bit values instead of time_t. As this does not work for most of the other combinations, we just handle it in the common manner though. * semid64_ds has no padding for 64-bit time_t, but has two reserved 'long' fields, which are sufficient to extend the sem_otime and sem_ctime fields to 64 bit. In order to do this, the libc implementation will have to copy the data into another structure that has the fields in a different order. MIPS is the only architecture with this problem, so this is best done in MIPS specific libc code. * shmid64_ds is slightly worse than that, because it has three time_t fields but only two unused 32-bit words. As a workaround, we extend each field only by 16 bits, ending up with 48-bit timestamps that user space again has to work around by itself. The compat versions of the data structures are changed in the same way. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> |

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
