Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sys.c: Fix UNAME26 for 5.0
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2019 19:03:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190107180306.16602-1-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> (raw)
UNAME26 is a mechanism to report Linux's version as 2.6.x, for
compatibility with old/broken software. Because of the way it is
implemented, it needs to be adjusted to handle version 5.0.
