Confirmed the fix has been applied to 24.04 Noble linux 6.8 repository: "UBUNTU: [Config] y2038: Disable COMPAT and COMPAT_32BIT_TIME on ppc64le"

And even exists? 24.04 LTS is likely to be used for 10 years. And if allowed to overrun and remain active in the field in 2038 can lead to catastrophic failure in the field due to these syscalls enabled and used. I would like to request if we can turn off COMPAT_32BIT_TIME on every architecture, thus this will be arch by arch bug report, and arch by arch decision. This needs to be a per-arch decision, potentially taking into consideration bi-arch userspace support. config COMPAT_32BIT_TIME bool "Provide system calls for 32-bit time_t" default !64BIT || COMPAT help This enables 32 bit time_t support in addition to 64 bit time_t support. This is relevant on all 32-bit architectures, and 64-bit architectures as part of compat syscall handling.
