Hi Linus and Thomas,
I realized that the merge window is now imminent, but I had not sent a
pull request to Thomas for the current y2038 stuff. These patches have
been around for a while though, and were in linux-next through my tree.
I got one bug report on Monday and incorporated a simple fix, which
changed the commit date for the second half of the series, in case you
are wondering.
Thomas, is it ok for you to just provide an Ack for this branch and
have Linus merge it directly?

timekeeping: remove obsolete time accessors (2018-12-18 16:13:05 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
y2038: 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.

sh: generate uapi header and syscall table header files (2018-12-19
17:54:40 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
asm-generic: syscall table script for arch/sh
I worked with Firoz Khan to change all architectures to have their system
call tables (syscall.S and asm/unistd.h) generated by a script from a more
readable input file the same way that we already had on x86, s390 and arm.
I offered to take those conversions through the asm-generic tree that
did not get picked up by the architecture maintainers, and fortunately
all but one have now been accepted into arch maintainer trees, so this
branch only contains the conversion for arch/sh/, with permission from
Rich.
The conversion does not include the old 64-bit sh5 architecture, which
has never shipped and not even compiled in a long time. The table
in include/uapi/asm/unistd.h is also not included here, as Firoz is
still working on that one. It will have to wait for the next following
merge window, hopefully together with the addition of the 64-bit
time_t system calls for the y2038 work that led to the system call
table rework.

The purpose of this patch series is, we can easily
add/modify/delete system call table support by cha-
nging entry in syscall.tbl file instead of manually
changing many files. The other goal is to unify the
system call table generation support implementation
across all the architectures.
The system call tables are in different format in
all architecture. It will be difficult to manually
add, modify or delete the system calls in the resp-
ective files manually. To make it easy by keeping a
script and which'll generate uapi header file and
syscall table file.
syscall.tbl contains the list of available system
calls along with system call number and correspond-
ing entry point. Add a new system call in this arch-
itecture will be possible by adding new entry in
the syscall.tbl file.
Adding a new table entry consisting of:
- System call number.
- ABI.
- System call name.
- Entry point name.
- Compat entry name, if required.
ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does exist the sim-
ilar support. I leverage their implementation to
come up with a generic solution.
I have done the same support for work for alpha,
ia64, m68k, microblaze, parisc, powerpc, sh, sparc,
and xtensa. Below mentioned git repository contains
more details about the workflow.

Finally, this is the ground work to solve the Y2038
issue. We need to add two dozen of system calls to
solve Y2038 issue. So this patch series will help to
add new system calls easily by adding new entry in
the syscall.tbl.

1.9.1
The series introduces new socket timestamps that are
y2038 safe.
The time data types used for the existing socket timestamp
options: SO_TIMESTAMP, SO_TIMESTAMPNS and SO_TIMESTAMPING
are not y2038 safe. The series introduces SO_TIMESTAMP_NEW,
SO_TIMESTAMPNS_NEW and SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW to replace these.
These new timestamps can be used on all architectures.
The alternative considered was to extend the sys_setsockopt()
by using the flags. We did not receive any strong opinions about
either of the approaches. Hence, this was chosen, as glibc folks
preferred this.
The series does not deal with updating the internal kernel socket
calls like rxrpc to make them y2038 safe. This will be dealt
with separately.
Note that the timestamps behavior already does not match the
man page specific behavior:
SIOCGSTAMP
This ioctl should only be used if the socket option SO_TIMESTAMP
is not set on the socket. Otherwise, it returns the timestamp of
the last packet that was received while SO_TIMESTAMP was not set,
or it fails if no such packet has been received,
(i.e., ioctl(2) returns -1 with errno set to ENOENT).
The recommendation is to update the man page to remove the above statement.
The overview of the series is as below:
1. Delete asm specific socket.h when possible.
2. Support SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP* options only in userspace.
3. Rename current SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP* to SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP*_OLD.
3. Alter socket options so that SOCK_RCVTSTAMPNS does
not rely on SOCK_RCVTSTAMP.
4. Introduce y2038 safe types for socket timestamp.
5. Introduce new y2038 safe socket options SO/SCM_TIMESTAMP*_NEW.
Changes since v1:
* Dropped the change to disentangle sock flags
* Renamed sock_timeval to __kernel_sock_timeval
* Updated a few comments
* Added documentation changes

Finally, this is the ground work to solve the Y2038
issue. We need to add two dozen of system calls to
solve Y2038 issue. So this patch series will help to
add new system calls easily by adding new entry in the
syscall.tbl.
Changes since v4:
- DOTSYM macro removed for ppc32, which was causing
the compilation error.
Changes since v3:
- split compat syscall table out from native table.
- modified the script to add new line in the generated
file.
Changes since v2:
- modified/optimized the syscall.tbl to avoid duplicate
for the spu entries.
- updated the syscalltbl.sh to meet the above point.
Changes since v1:
- optimized/updated the syscall table generation
scripts.
- fixed all mixed indentation issues in syscall.tbl.
- added "comments" in syscall_*.tbl.
- changed from generic-y to generated-y in Kbuild.
