[LTP] [PATCH 0/5] syscalls: Remove incorrect usage of libc structures

[Viresh Kumar]

Hi,

It is incorrect to use the libc structures (timespec, timeval, timex),
to the non-timex64 syscalls called via tst_syscall() as the kernel
expects the old structures in there and the libc structure definition
may change in the future.

Arnd: It was getting difficult to search for such instances and so I
searched it with following strings (search for files that use these
structures, as well as tst_syscall()) to catch the abuse, hope it covers
all cases.

git grep "struct timeval" `git grep -l tst_syscall`
git grep "struct timespec" `git grep -l tst_syscall`
git grep "struct timex" `git grep -l tst_syscall`

Viresh Kumar (5):
  tst_safe_clocks: Remove safe_clock_adjtime()
  syscalls: settimeofday: Use gettimeofday()
  syscalls: Don't use tst_syscall() unnecessarily
  syscalls: Don't pass struct timespec to tst_syscall()
  syscalls: Don't pass struct timeval to tst_syscall()
