The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only
used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants
of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64,
and utimensat_time64.
However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures
that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the
traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system
calls that now require two versions.
Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is
reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while
we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat
mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive.
This is only a cleanup patch and it should not change any behavior.

A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation
using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have
been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit
architectures as well.
The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them
on 32-bit architectures.
Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for
that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish
them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the
future.
In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename
first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

struct timex is not y2038 safe.
Replace all uses of timex with y2038 safe __kernel_timex.
Note that struct __kernel_timex is an ABI interface definition.
We could define a new structure based on __kernel_timex that
is only available internally instead. Right now, there isn't
a strong motivation for this as the structure is isolated to
a few defined struct timex interfaces and such a structure would
be exactly the same as struct timex.

We want to reuse the compat_timex handling on 32-bit architectures the
same way we are using the compat handling for timespec when moving to
64-bit time_t.
Move all definitions related to compat_timex out of the compat code
into the normal timekeeping code, along with a rename to old_timex32,
corresponding to the timespec/timeval structures, and make it controlled
by CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME, which 32-bit architectures will then select.

"More syscalls and cleanups
This concludes the main part of the system call rework for 64-bit
time_t, which has spread over most of year 2018, the last six system
calls being
- ppoll
- pselect6
- io_pgetevents
- recvmmsg
- futex
- rt_sigtimedwait
As before, nothing changes for 64-bit architectures, while 32-bit
architectures gain another entry point that differs only in the layout
of the timespec structure. Hopefully in the next release we can wire
up all 22 of those system calls on all 32-bit architectures, which
gives us a baseline version for glibc to start using them.
This does not include the clock_adjtime, getrusage/waitid, and
getitimer/setitimer system calls. I still plan to have new versions of
those as well, but they are not required for correct operation of the
C library since they can be emulated using the old 32-bit time_t based
system calls.
Aside from the system calls, there are also a few cleanups here,
removing old kernel internal interfaces that have become unused after
all references got removed. The arch/sh cleanups are part of this,
there were posted several times over the past year without a reaction
from the maintainers, while the corresponding changes made it into all
other architectures"

kernel/time/time.c:882:5: sparse: symbol '__put_old_timespec32' was not declared. Should it be static?
These are actually older bugs, but came up now after the
symbol got renamed. Fortunately, commit afef05cf23 ("time:
Enable get/put_compat_itimerspec64 always") makes the two functions
(__compat_get_timespec64/__compat_get_timespec64) local to time.c already,
so we can mark them as 'static'.

Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:
Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.
The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:
old new
--- ---
compat_time_t old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32()
As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.
I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.
This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

struct itimerspec is not y2038-safe.
Introduce a new struct __kernel_itimerspec based on the kernel internal
y2038-safe struct itimerspec64.
The definition of struct __kernel_itimerspec includes two struct
__kernel_timespec.
Since struct __kernel_timespec has the same representation in native and
compat modes, so does struct __kernel_itimerspec. This helps have a common
entry point for syscalls using struct __kernel_itimerspec.
New y2038-safe syscalls will use this new type. Since most of the new
syscalls are just an update to the native syscalls with the type update,
place the new definition under CONFIG_64BIT_TIME. This helps architectures
that do not support the above config to keep using the old definition of
struct itimerspec.
Also change the get/put_itimerspec64 to use struct__kernel_itimerspec.
This will help 32 bit architectures to use the new syscalls when
architectures select CONFIG_64BIT_TIME.

For the common cases where 1000 is a multiple of HZ, or HZ is a multiple of
1000, jiffies_to_msecs() never returns zero when passed a non-zero time
period.
However, if HZ > 1000 and not an integer multiple of 1000 (e.g. 1024 or
1200, as used on alpha and DECstation), jiffies_to_msecs() may return zero
for small non-zero time periods. This may break code that relies on
receiving back a non-zero value.
jiffies_to_usecs() does not need such a fix: one jiffy can only be less
than one µs if HZ > 1000000, and such large values of HZ are already
rejected at build time, twice:
- include/linux/jiffies.h does #error if HZ >= 12288,
- kernel/time/time.c has BUILD_BUG_ON(HZ > USEC_PER_SEC).

At this point, we have converted most of the kernel to use timespec64
consistently in place of timespec, so it seems it's time to make
timespec64 the native structure and define timespec in terms of that
one on 64-bit architectures.
Starting with gcc-5, the compiler can completely optimize away the
timespec_to_timespec64 and timespec64_to_timespec functions on 64-bit
architectures. With older compilers, we introduce a couple of extra
copies of local variables, but those are easily avoided by using
the timespec64 based interfaces consistently, as we do in most of the
important code paths already.
The main upside of removing the hack is that printing the tv_sec
field of a timespec64 structure can now use the %lld format
string on all architectures without a cast to time64_t. Without
this patch, the field is a 'long' type and would have to be printed
using %ld on 64-bit architectures.

get/put_timespec64() interfaces will eventually be used for
conversions between the new y2038 safe struct __kernel_timespec
and struct timespec64.
The new y2038 safe syscalls have a common entry for native
and compat interfaces.
On compat interfaces, the high order bits of nanoseconds
should be zeroed out. This is because the application code
or the libc do not guarantee zeroing of these. If used without
zeroing, kernel might be at risk of using timespec values
incorrectly.
Note that clearing of bits is dependent on CONFIG_64BIT_TIME
for now. This is until COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME has been handled
correctly. x86 will be the first architecture that will use the
CONFIG_64BIT_TIME.

Dealing with 'struct timeval' users in the y2038 series is a bit tricky:
We have two definitions of timeval that are visible to user space,
one comes from glibc (or some other C library), the other comes from
linux/time.h. The kernel copy is what we want to be used for a number of
structures defined by the kernel itself, e.g. elf_prstatus (used it core
dumps), sysinfo and rusage (used in system calls). These generally tend
to be used for passing time intervals rather than absolute (epoch-based)
times, so they do not suffer from the y2038 overflow. Some of them
could be changed to use 64-bit timestamps by creating new system calls,
others like the core files cannot easily be changed.
An application using these interfaces likely also uses gettimeofday()
or other interfaces that use absolute times, and pass 'struct timeval'
pointers directly into kernel interfaces, so glibc must redefine their
timeval based on a 64-bit time_t when they introduce their y2038-safe
interfaces.
The only reasonable way forward I see is to remove the 'timeval'
definion from the kernel's uapi headers, and change the interfaces that
we do not want to (or cannot) duplicate for 64-bit times to use a new
__kernel_old_timeval definition instead. This type should be avoided
for all new interfaces (those can use 64-bit nanoseconds, or the 64-bit
version of timespec instead), and should be used with great care when
converting existing interfaces from timeval, to be sure they don't suffer
from the y2038 overflow, and only with consensus for the particular user
that using __kernel_old_timeval is better than moving to a 64-bit based
interface. The structure name is intentionally chosen to not conflict
with user space types, and to be ugly enough to discourage its use.
Note that ioctl based interfaces that pass a bare 'timeval' pointer
cannot change to '__kernel_old_timeval' because the user space source
code refers to 'timeval' instead, and we don't want to modify the user
space sources if possible. However, any application that relies on a
structure to contain an embedded 'timeval' (e.g. by passing a pointer
to the member into a function call that expects a timeval pointer) is
broken when that structure gets converted to __kernel_old_timeval. I
don't see any way around that, and we have to rely on the compiler to
produce a warning or compile failure that will alert users when they
recompile their sources against a new libc.

- A new mechanism to allow RTC drivers to specify the resolution of the
RTC so the suspend/resume code can make informed decisions whether to
inject the suspended time or not in case of fast suspend/resume cycles.
On 64-bit architectures, the timespec64 based helpers in linux/time.h
are defined as macros pointing to their timespec based counterparts.
This made sense when they were first introduced, but as we are migrating
away from timespec in general, it's much less intuitive now.
This changes the macros to work in the exact opposite way: we always
provide the timespec64 based helpers and define the old interfaces as
macros for them. Now we can move those macros into linux/time32.h, which
already contains the respective helpers for 32-bit architectures.
