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.

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.
