Thanks, Sasha
Pseudo-Shortlog of commits:
Arnd Bergmann (1): y2038: rusage: use __kernel_old_timeval
Guess this wasn't build tested on alpha, making it unbuildable on v4.19.y.
Building alpha:defconfig ... failed
Error log: arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c: In function '__do_sys_old_adjtimex': arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c:1274:43: error: passing argument 2 of 'put_tv_to_tv32' from incompatible pointer type
Following up on this, I now dropped build and boot testing of 'alpha' targets for v4.19.y.
Ok, let me go unwind this and try to fix this up in the next set of 4.19 stable -rc updates...
I tried, and it's just too messy. Given that alpha really is a dead architecture, and 4.19.y is only going to be around for a few more months, and that the 2-3 alpha users out there can move to 5.4 (and really should not be using 4.19 anyway), I'm just going to leave this as-is (i.e. broken.)
thanks,
