The struct snd_rawmidi_status will use 'timespec' type variables to record timestamp, which is not year 2038 safe on 32bits system. Thus we introduced 'struct snd_rawmidi_status32' and 'struct snd_rawmidi_status64' to handle 32bit time_t and 64bit time_t in native mode, which replace timespec with s64 type. In compat mode, we renamed or introduced new structures to handle 32bit/64bit time_t in compatible mode. The 'struct snd_rawmidi_status32' and snd_rawmidi_ioctl_status32() are used to handle 32bit time_t in compat mode. 'struct compat_snd_rawmidi_status64' is used to handle 64bit time_t. When glibc changes time_t to 64-bit, any recompiled program will issue ioctl commands that the kernel does not understand without this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
