[PATCH 1/8] y2038: timex: remove incorrect time_t truncation

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Nov 08 2019 - 15:35:14 EST


A cast to 'time_t' was accidentally left in place during the
conversion of __do_adjtimex() to 64-bit timestamps, so the
resulting value is incorrectly truncated.

Remove the cast so the 64-bit time gets propagated correctly.
