Hi,

We have an arm32 based embedded product which is based on the 3.18
kernel and a simple busybox.
We wanted to support the Y2038 issue on this older kernel.
Is this feasible
Do we have the Y2038 separate patches available for both kernel and userspace ?
Or upgrading the kernel is the only option ?

Thanks,
Pintu
