Neither did I ;-) What I'd done was ; git grep -n -w date.*seconds drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c:117: * Convert Gregorian date to seconds since 01-01-1970 00:00:00. fs/fat/misc.c:192:/* Convert a FAT time/date pair to a UNIX date (seconds since 1 1 70). */ fs/ncpfs/dir.c:1193:/* Convert a MS-DOS time/date pair to a UNIX date (seconds since 1 1 70). */ fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c:6868: clp->cl_implid->date.seconds, fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c:6869: clp->cl_implid->date.nseconds); fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c:5532: p = xdr_decode_hyper(p, &res->impl_id->date.seconds); fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c:5533: res->impl_id->date.nseconds = be32_to_cpup(p); fs/nfs/super.c:762: impl_id->date.seconds, impl_id->date.nseconds); kernel/time/time.c:308: * mktime64 - Converts date to seconds. kernel/time/time.c:309: * Converts Gregorian date to seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00. scripts/analyze_suspend.py:165: utcoffset = int((datetime.now() - datetime.utcnow()).total_seconds()) ; and that was it. While we are at it, drivers/rtc hit is a wrapper around mktime64(), fs/nfs ones are obviously noise from quick and dirty search pattern and so's scripts/analyze_suspend.py one. fs/fat/misc.c and fs/ncpfs/dir.c ones, though, are really asking for being converted to mktime64(). While we are grepping, git grep -n '\<31\>.*\<28\>.*\<31\>' also finds something interesting - arch/m68k/bvme6000/rtc.c:34:{0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; arch/m68k/mvme16x/rtc.c:33:{0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; drivers/char/ds1302.c:153: {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; drivers/char/genrtc.c:83:{31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; drivers/char/rtc.c:212:{0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; are all about the same thing - open-coded rtc_month_days(), if not open-coded rtc_valid_tm(). Might be worth looking into... And another hit (arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c:to_tm()) is downright obscene: /* Number of months in days left */ if (leapyear(tm->tm_year)) days_in_month(FEBRUARY) = 29; for (i = 1; day >= days_in_month(i); i++) day -= days_in_month(i); days_in_month(FEBRUARY) = 28; (whadday mean, "locking"?) Almost certainly wants to switch to time_to_tm()... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
