| Convert-time_t-to-unsigned-long-long-before-formatting.patch | Convert time_t to unsigned long long before formatting Conventionally it's signed long under the GNU C library, which is 32 bits on 32-bit architectures, but Glibc provides the __TIME_BITS==64 option, which makes it signed long long instead (64 bits) and makes no difference on 64-bit architectures [1]. Since the ping_interval and pong_timeout members of struct knet_link are unsigned, we can make this conversion safe by rejecting negative values as well (besides zero). In the end this enables using the uniform %llu conversion specifier across all supported architectures. This got exposed by Debian recently transitioning to 64-bit time_t [2].
