    s390,alpha: switch to 64-bit ino_t · 96c0a6a7
    Heiko Carstens authored
    s390 and alpha are the only 64 bit architectures with a 32-bit ino_t.
    Since this is quite unusual this causes bugs from time to time.
    
    See e.g. commit ebce3eb2 ("ceph: fix inode number handling on
    arches with 32-bit ino_t") for an example.
    
    This (obviously) also prevents s390 and alpha to use 64-bit ino_t for
    tmpfs. See commit b85a7a8b
    
     ("tmpfs: disallow CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64
    on s390").
    
    Therefore switch both s390 and alpha to 64-bit ino_t. This should only
    have an effect on the ustat system call. To prevent ABI breakage
    define struct ustat compatible to the old layout and change
    sys_ustat() accordingly.
