From dbe7aa622db96b5cd601f59d09c4f00b98b76079 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heena Sirwani Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 16:01:50 +0530 Subject: timekeeping: Provide y2038 safe accessor to the seconds portion of CLOCK_REALTIME ktime_get_real_seconds() is the replacement function for get_seconds() returning the seconds portion of CLOCK_REALTIME in a time64_t. For 64bit the function is equivivalent to get_seconds(), but for 32bit it protects the readout with the timekeeper sequence count. This is required because 32-bit machines cannot access 64-bit tk->xtime_sec variable atomically.
