[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 09/16] linux-user: allow NULL tv argument for settimeofday

[Paul Burton]

The tv argument to the settimeofday syscall is allowed to be NULL, if
the program only wishes to provide the timezone. QEMU previously
returned -EFAULT when tv was NULL. Instead, execute the syscall &
provide NULL to the kernel as the target program expected.
