Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: use time64_t timestamps
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 11:55:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171019095536.801199-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

The cpio format uses a 32-bit number to encode file timestamps,
which breaks initramfs support in 2038. This reinterprets the
timestamp as unsigned, to give us another 68 years and avoids
breaking until 2106.
