Question regarding minimal supported Linux kernel headers (now it is 3.2.0)

[Lukasz Majewski <lukma at denx dot de>]

Dear Community,

Recently the patch to convert ppoll to 64 bit time has been pulled to
master branch of glibc repo.

The pselect6 conversion has been postponed on purpose as microblaze
port gained support for pselect6 from Linux kernel 3.15. Between 3.2
(minimal supported glibc Linux headers) and 3.15 this syscall is
emulated and hence the generic code is convoluted.

For the above reason the conversion of pselect6 has been postponed until
the minimal glibc's Linux headers are bumped to the version after 3.15.

Dear community - when the minimal glibc version may be increased?

Are there any guidelines when the minimal version shall be increased
(like once per X glibc releases) ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Lukasz Majewski
