Subject: [PATCH 2.4][SPARC64] fix sys32_utimes(somefile, NULL)
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 21:23:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050614192306.GC13702@fngna.oyu> (raw)

This patch fixes utimes(somefile, NULL) syscalls on sparc64 kernel with
32-bit userland - use of uninitialized value resulted in making random
timestamps, which confused e.g. sudo.
It has been already fixed (by davem) in linux-2.6 tree 30 months ago.
