Hi everyone,
As I discussed with Thomas on IRC, I'd still like to try to get Deepa's series
merged to have 64-bit inode timestamps in VFS, as a prerequisite to fixing
the individual file systems for y2038 as the next step.
The orignal tree that I've been testing with is in
https://github.com/deepa-hub/vfs vfs_timespec64 (see description at [1]
Unfortunately this was never in linux-next so far, so it's definitely
against our
normal rules, and if there are any objections (or new issues getting found),
then we should defer it another merge window.
Until very recently, the branch worked fine with both linux-next and 4.17-rc,
but with some last minute changes to the NFS and Overlayfs trees, it
gained some nasty conflicts.
I've merged Trond's NFS branch and Miklos' Overlayfs branches into
it, fixed up those conflicts and now uploaded it to my tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground.git
Obviously this will break if either of them rebases their trees once
more, in which case I assume Stephen will drop my branch from
linux-next.
Once those two are merged into mainline and nothing unexpected
has come up from linux-next testing, we could either send a pull request
to Linus for the merged branch, or regenerate the flag-day patch in it
using coccinelle, which should result in identical contents.

In order to use the rtc_tm_to_time64() and rtc_time64_to_tm()
helper functions in later patches, we have to ensure that
CONFIG_RTC_LIB is always built-in.
Note that this symbol only controls a couple of helper functions,
not the actual RTC subsystem, which remains optional and is
enabled with CONFIG_RTC_CLASS.

Hi Thomas,
This is a pull request for the series that I sent earlier.
The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use
struct timespec64. Currently vfs uses struct timespec,
which is not y2038 safe.
The flag patch applies cleanly. I've not seen the timestamps
update logic change often. The series applies cleanly on 4.17-rc6
and linux-next tip (top commit: next-20180517).
I'm not sure how to merge this kind of a series with a flag patch.
We are targeting 4.18 for this.
Let me know if you have other suggestions.
The series involves the following:
1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps.
2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual
replacement becomes easy.
4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
This is a flag day patch.
I've tried to keep the conversions with the script simple, to
aid in the reviews. I've kept all the internal filesystem data
structures and function signatures the same.
Next steps:
1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
timestamps at the boundaries.
2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions.

2.17.0
The pstore conversion to timespec64 introduces its own method of passing
seconds into sscanf() and sprintf() type functions to work around the
timespec64 definition on 64-bit systems that redefine it to 'timespec'.
That hack is now finally getting removed, but that means we get a (harmless)
warning once both patches are merged:
fs/pstore/ram.c: In function 'ramoops_read_kmsg_hdr':
fs/pstore/ram.c:39:29: error: format '%ld' expects argument of type 'long int *', but argument 3 has type 'time64_t *' {aka 'long long int *'} [-Werror=format=]
#define RAMOOPS_KERNMSG_HDR "===="
^~~~~~
fs/pstore/ram.c:167:21: note: in expansion of macro 'RAMOOPS_KERNMSG_HDR'
This removes the pstore specific workaround and uses the same method that
we have in place for all other functions that print a timespec64.
Related to this, I found that the kasprintf() output contains an incorrect
nanosecond values for any number starting with zeroes, and I adapt the
format string accordingly.

Hi Thomas,
I've had these patches for a while but never got around to submitting
them. I recently rebased them after the boot time removal and now again
after the revert.
I'd like to see these go into v4.18 as a preparation for a last set of
driver conversions to y2038-safe interfaces that I've held off for now
since the interfaces were suboptimal.
The problems solved by this series are:
- aliasing timespec to timespec64 is a little erorr-prone,
and in particular requires ugly casts to print a tv_sec field
using the same format string across architectures
- naming is inconsistent, and while converting from the
deprecated time_t to something else, I'd like to also
convert to a ktime_get_*() API for consistency
- drivers that use current_kernel_time() today often care
about the call being fast but don't care about it being
CLOCK_REALTIME based, so they are better off being changed
to a CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_BOOTTIME based accessor
to avoid issues with time going backwards.
Arnd
Arnd Bergmann (5):
timekeeping: Remove timespec64 hack
timekeeping: Clean up ktime_get_real_ts64
timekeeping: Standardize on ktime_get_*() naming
