Linux kernel source tree

Several ioctl structs change size between native 32-bit (ia32) and x32 applications, because x32 follows the native 64-bit (amd64) integer alignment rules and uses 64-bit time_t. In these instances, the ioctl number changes so userspace simply gets -ENOTTY. This scenario can be handled by simply adding more cases. Looking at the different ioctls implemented here: - All the ones marked 'No size or alignment issue on any arch' should presumably all be fine. - All the ones under BROKEN_X86_ALIGNMENT are different under integer alignment rules. Since x32 matches amd64 here, we just need both sets of cases handled. - XFS_IOC_SWAPEXT has both integer alignment differences and time_t differences. Since x32 matches amd64 here, we need to add a case which calls the native implementation. - The remaining ioctls have neither 64-bit integers nor time_t, so x32 matches ia32 here and no change is required at this level. The bulkstat ioctl implementations have some pointer chasing which is handled separately. Signed-off-by: Nick Bowler <nbowler@draconx.ca> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

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.
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.
