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. commitebce3eb2f7("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 commitb85a7a8bb5("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
