[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/4] ALSA: Fix year 2038 issue for sound subsystem, alternative

[Arnd Bergmann]

I've tried the suggestion from Jaroslaw, doing a minimal change to the
UAPI headers to keep the existing binary interface. As he predicted,
this is a much simpler set of kernel changes, but we will pay for that
with added complexity in alsa-lib.

The first two patches in this series are taken from Baolin's patch
set, with a small bugfix folded in to avoid a compile-time regression.

The other two patches are to redefine the UAPI and to deprecate
the support for CLOCK_REALTIME time stamps, which we can no longer
allow with user space that we expect to survive beyond 2038.

Overall, I'd still be happier with Baolin's approach since it allows
us to keep compatiblity with CLOCK_REALTIME users and requires
fewer changes in user space, but this would work as well.
