The tstats_show() function prints a ktime_t variable by converting it to struct timespec first. The algorithm is ok, but we want to stop using timespec in general because of the 32-bit time_t overflow problem. This changes the code to use struct timespec64, without any functional change.

[PATCH] time: avoid timespec in udelay_test

by Arnd Bergmann

udelay_test_single() uses ktime_get_ts() to get two timespec values and calculate the difference between them, while udelay_test_show() uses the same to printk() the current monotonic time. Both of these are y2038 safe on all machines, but we want to get rid of struct timespec anyway, so this converts the code to use ktime_get_ns() and ktime_get_ts64() respectively.

[PATCH] procfs: avoid 32-bit time_t in /proc/*/stat

by Arnd Bergmann

/proc/stat shows (among lots of other things) the current boottime (i.e. number of seconds since boot). While a 32-bit number is sufficient for this particular case, we want to get rid of the 'struct timespec' suffers from a 32-bit overflow in 2038. This changes the code to use a struct timespec64, which is known to be safe in all cases.

[PATCH] initramfs: use vfs_stat/lstat directly

by Arnd Bergmann

sys_newlstat is a system call implementation that is meant for user space, and that copies kernel-internal data structure to the user format, which is not needed for in-kernel users. Further, as we rearrange the system call implementation so we can extend it with 64-bit time_t, the prototype for sys_newlstat changes. This changes the initramfs code to use vfs_lstat directly, to get it out of the way of the time_t changes, and make it slightly more efficient in the process. Along the same lines we also replace sys_stat and sys_stat64 with vfs_stat.

[PATCH] staging: comedi: avoid using timeval

by Arnd Bergmann

Comedi uses 32-bit seconds for its timestamps, on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. For all I can tell, this was originally meant as a 'timespec', which would overflow in 2038 because of the use of a signed 'long' on 32-bit machines, but it is now used as an array of two unsigned 'lsampl_t' values in comedilib, which will only overflow in 2106, on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. In an effort to get rid of all uses of 'struct timeval' in the kernel, this replaces the internal code with a call to ktime_get_real_ts64() and a comment at the location of the conversion.

[PATCH] ata: fix "ering" sysfs time printing

by Arnd Bergmann

The sysfs file for the libata error handling has multiple issues in the way it prints time stamps: * it prints a 9-digit nanosecond value using a %06lu format string, which drops some leading zeroes * it converts a 64-bit jiffes value to a timespec using jiffies_to_timespec(), which takes a 'long' argument, so the result is wrong after a jiffies overflow (49 days). * we try to avoid using timespec because that generally overflows in 2038, although this particular usage is ok. This replaces the jiffies_to_timespec call with an open-coded implementation that gets it right.

[PATCH v2] aoe: Use 64-bit timestamp in frame

by Tina Ruchandani

'struct frame' uses two variables to store the sent timestamp - 'struct timeval' and jiffies. jiffies is used to avoid discrepancies caused by updates to system time. 'struct timeval' uses 32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038. This patch does the following: - Replace the use of 'struct timeval' and jiffies with struct timespec64, which provides a 64-bit seconds timestamp and is year 2038 safe. - timespec64 provides both long range (like jiffies) and high resolution (like timeval). Using monotonic time (ktime_get_ts64) instead of wall-clock time prevents any discrepancies caused by updates to system time. The previous attempt at this patch and related discussion is here: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/y2038/2015-May/000245.html As noted previously, the existing code is 2038-safe, as it only uses a delta instead of absolute timestamps. However, this patch is part of a larger attempt to remove _all_ instances of 32-bit timekeeping from the kernel (time_t, struct timeval and struct timespec) since we do not know which of the many instances of their usage are buggy. It is worth noting that there may be a slight performance penalty, due to timespec64 using nanoseconds instead of microseconds. The tsince_hr function contains a 32-bit multiply just like the existing code, but now it also has a 32-bit divide.
