The latest kernel I have built with is 4.15 or so.
I am in the middle of some 64-bit time changes for the core Yaffs code too and those should be integrated later this month.

If someone wants to test and submit a patch for 5.x (or any no longer compiling 4.x) they are more  than welcome.

Thanks

Regards

Charles

Assuming you are referring to the Linux kernel, I ran into the same problem when trying to migrate an old project to 5.10; there was a change made around 4.20 mainline to the kernel time getting mechanism and also a rename of a #define.  I was able to make the following changes and it seems to work okay for me.  (Note: this is obviously not official, just trying to be helpful.)

It seems some break changes in newer kernels (>5.0 and especially >5.6) cause these errors. To name a few, the current_kernel_time64 function is deprecated and we should use SB_* instead of MS_* (MS_RDONLY, MS_NOATIME, etc.)
