[PATCH v3] misc: ibmasm: Replace timeval with timespec64

Show all headers | View raw

This patch replaces timeval with timespec64 as 32 bit 'struct timeval'
will not give current time beyond 2038.

The patch changes the code to use ktime_get_real_ts64() which returns
a 'struct timespec64' instead of do_gettimeofday() which returns a
'struct timeval'

This patch also alters the format strings in sprintf() for now.tv_sec
and now.tv_nsec to incorporate 'long long' on 32 bit architectures and
leading zeroes respectively.

Changes in v2:
        -change format string of now.tv_sec to '%llu'
        -change format string of now.tv_nsec to '%.08lu'
Changes in v3:
        -Replace tv_usec with tv_nsec, error made in v2
        -Build tested
