The first two used to sit on a branch that predated statx merge into mainline, the rest obviously depends on statx. > What kind of testing did this all get? xfstests/ltp for the last part (-rc4 based branch with statx), same + Dmitry's reproducer for path_init() crap, trivial test for alpha old_adjtimex(). My apologies for rebase; if anything, it would've been cleaner to cherry-pick the old pair of fixes on top of statx series.
