The series is a preparation series for individual architectures
to use 64 bit time_t syscalls in compat and 32 bit emulation modes.
This is a follow up to the series Arnd Bergmann posted:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-05/msg00070.html [1]
Big picture is as per the lwn article:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643234/ [2]
The series is directed at converting posix clock syscalls:
clock_gettime, clock_settime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep
to use a new data structure __kernel_timespec at syscall boundaries.
__kernel_timespec maintains 64 bit time_t across all execution modes.
vdso will be handled as part of each architecture when they enable
support for 64 bit time_t.
The compat syscalls are repurposed to provide backward compatibility
by using them as native syscalls as well for 32 bit architectures.
They will continue to use timespec at syscall boundaries.
CONFIG_64_BIT_TIME controls whether the syscalls use __kernel_timespec
or timespec at syscall boundaries.
The series does the following:
1. Enable compat syscalls on 32 bit architectures.
2. Add a new __kernel_timespec type to be used as the data structure
for all the new syscalls.
3. Add new config CONFIG_64BIT_TIME(intead of the CONFIG_COMPAT_TIME in
[1] and [2] to switch to new definition of __kernel_timespec. It is
the same as struct timespec otherwise.
4. Add new CONFIG_32BIT_TIME to conditionally compile compat syscalls.
* Changes since v1:
* Introduce CONFIG_32BIT_TIME
* Fixed zeroing out of higher order bits of tv_nsec
* Included Arnd's changes to fix up use of compat headers
I decided against using LEGACY_TIME_SYSCALLS to conditionally compile
legacy time syscalls such as sys_nanosleep because this will need to
enclose compat_sys_nanosleep as well. So, defining it as
config LEGACY_TIME_SYSCALLS
def_bool 64BIT || !64BIT_TIME
will not include compat_sys_nanosleep. We will instead need a new config to
exclusively mark legacy syscalls.
Deepa Dinamani (10):
compat: Make compat helpers independent of CONFIG_COMPAT
include: Move compat_timespec/ timeval to compat_time.h
compat: enable compat_get/put_timespec64 always
arch: introduce CONFIG_64BIT_TIME
arch: Introduce CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
posix-clocks: Make compat syscalls depend on CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
include: Add new y2038 safe __kernel_timespec

The series is aimed at making input events y2038 safe.
It extends the lifetime of the realtime timestamps in the
events to year 2106.
The series is also a necessary update as glibc is set to provide
64 bit time_t support for 32 bit binaries. glibc plan is detailed
at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Y2038ProofnessDesign .
The series is a result of discussions with Arnd Bergmann and
Dmitry Torokhov at last Plumbers.
The plan is to deprecate realtime timestamps anyway as they
are not appropriate for these timestamps as noted in the patch
a80b83b7b8 by John Stultz.
The design also updates the format of the input events read/ written
to the device nodes. This breaks 32 bit interface to the input
events at compile time as preferred by the maintainer.
The userspace library changes to libevdev, libuinput and mtdev
will be posted to the respective mailing groups for review.
Changes from v3:
* Updated uinput to support monotonic time only
* Addressed review comments
Changes from v2:
* Updated the design to break 32 bit interfaces at compile time.
Changes from v1:
* Updated changes according to review comments.
* Posted userspace library changes that go along with the series.
Deepa Dinamani (4):
uinput: Use monotonic times for uinput timestamps.
input: evdev: Replace timeval with timespec64
input: Deprecate real timestamps beyond year 2106
input: serio: Replace timeval by timespec64

There is a stale entry in i40iw_cm_tcp_context that apparently
was copied from the 'nes' driver but never used in i40iw.
I'm trying to kill off all users of timeval as part of the
y2038-safety work, so let's just remove this one.

getnstimeofday() suffers from the overflow in y2038 on 32-bit
architectures and requires a conversion into the nanosecond format that
we want here.
This changes ssp_parse_dataframe() to use ktime_get_real_ns() directly,
which does not have that problem.
An open question is what time base should be used here. Normally
timestamps should use ktime_get_ns() or ktime_get_boot_ns() to read
monotonic time instead of "real" time, which suffers from time jumps
due to settimeofday() calls or leap seconds.

kdb is the only user of the __current_kernel_time() interface, which is
not y2038 safe and should be removed at some point.
The kdb code also goes to great lengths to print the time in a
human-readable format from 'struct timespec', again using a non-y2038-safe
re-implementation of the generic time_to_tm() code.
Using __current_kernel_time() here is necessary since the regular
accessors that require a sequence lock might hang when called during the
xtime update. However, this is safe in the particular case since kdb is
only interested in the tv_sec field that is updated atomically.
In order to make this y2038-safe, I'm converting the code to the generic
time64_to_tm helper, but that introduces the problem that we have no
interface like __current_kernel_time() that provides a 64-bit timestamp
in a lockless, safe and architecture-independent way. I have multiple
ideas for how to solve that:
- __ktime_get_real_seconds() is lockless, but can return
incorrect results on 32-bit architectures in the special case that
we are in the process of changing the time across the epoch, either
during the timer tick that overflows the seconds in 2038, or while
calling settimeofday.
- ktime_get_real_fast_ns() would work in this context, but does
require a call into the clocksource driver to return a high-resolution
timestamp. This may have undesired side-effects in the debugger,
since we want to limit the interactions with the rest of the kernel.
- Adding a ktime_get_real_fast_seconds() based on tk_fast_mono
plus tkr->base_real without the tk_clock_read() delta. Not sure about
the value of adding yet another interface here.
- Changing the existing ktime_get_real_seconds() to use
tk_fast_mono on 32-bit architectures rather than xtime_sec. I think
this could work, but am not entirely sure if this is an improvement.
I picked the first of those for simplicity here. It's technically
not correct but probably good enough as the time is only used for the
debugging output and the race will likely never be hit in practice.
Another downside is having to move the declaration into a public header
file.
Let me know if anyone has a different preference.

2.9.0
The series is aimed at making input events y2038 safe.
It extends the lifetime of the realtime timestamps in the
events to year 2106.
The series is also a necessary update as glibc is set to provide
64 bit time_t support for 32 bit binaries. glibc plan is detailed
at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Y2038ProofnessDesign .
The series is a result of discussions with Arnd Bergmann and
Dmitry Torokhov at last Plumbers.
The plan is to deprecate realtime timestamps anyway as they
are not appropriate for these timestamps as noted in the patch
a80b83b7b8 by John Stultz.
The design also updates the format of the input events read/ written
to the device nodes. This breaks 32 bit interface to the input
events at compile time as preferred by the maintainer.
The userspace library changes to libevdev, libuinput and mtdev
will be posted to the respective mailing groups for review.
Changes from v2:
* Updated the design to break 32 bit interfaces at compile time.
Changes from v1:
* Updated changes according to review comments.
* Posted userspace library changes that go along with the series.
Deepa Dinamani (4):
uinput: Add ioctl for using monotonic/ boot times
input: evdev: Replace timeval with timespec64
input: Deprecate real timestamps beyond year 2106
input: serio: Replace timeval by timespec64

2.14.1
getnstimeofday() and timespec are deprecated since they can
overflow on 32-bit architectures. This simply changes to the
explicitly typed timespec64 version that doesn't have that
problem.
It would be nice to also convert to monotonic timestamps
and call ktime_get_ts64() rather than ktime_get_real_ts64(),
but that would be a user-visible change.
