[PATCH v2] [media] vivid: use ktime_t for timestamp calculation

by Arnd Bergmann

timespec is generally deprecated because of the y2038 overflow. In vivid, the usage is fine, since we are dealing with monotonic timestamps, but we can also simplify the code by going to ktime_t. Using ktime_divns() should be roughly as efficient as the old code, since the constant 64-bit division gets turned into a multiplication on modern platforms, and we save multiple 32-bit divisions that can be expensive e.g. on ARMv7.

[PATCH] firmware: raspberrypi: print time using time64_t

by Arnd Bergmann

The firmware timestamp is an unsigned 32-bit value, but we copy it into a signed 32-bit variable, so we can theoretically get an overflow in the calculation when the timestamp is between 2038 and 2106. This changes the temporary variable to time64_t and changes the deprecated time_to_tm() over to time64_to_tm() accordingly. There is still an overflow in y2106, but that is a limitation of the firmware interface, not a kernel problem.

[PATCH 1/2] spufs: use timespec64 for timestamps

by Arnd Bergmann

The switch log prints the tv_sec portion of timespec as a 32-bit number, while overflows in 2106. It also uses the timespec type, which is safe on 64-bit architectures, but deprecated because it causes overflows in 2038 elsewhere. This changes it to timespec64 and printing a 64-bit number for consistency.

[PATCH] lp: support 64-bit time_t user space

by Arnd Bergmann

Once we get a glibc with 64-bit time_t, the LPSETTIMEOUT ioctl stops working, since the command number and data structure no longer match. To work around that, this introduces a new command number LPSETTIMEOUT_NEW that is used whenever the modified user space evaluates the LPSETTIMEOUT macro. The trick we use is a bit convoluted but necessary: we cannot check for any macros set by the C library in linux/lp.h, because this particular header can be included before including sys/time.h. However, we can assume that by the time that LPSETTIMEOUT is seen in the code, the definition for 'timeval' and 'time_t' has been seen as well, so we can use the sizeof() operator to determine whether we should use the old or the new definition. We use the old one not only for traditional 32-bit user space with 32-bit time_t, but also for all 64-bit architectures and x32, which always use a 64-bit time_t, the new definition will be used only for 32-bit user space with 64-bit time_t, which also requires a newer kernel. The compat_ioctl() handler now implements both commands, but has to use a special case for existing x32 binaries. The native ioctl handler now implements both command numbers on both 32-bit and 64-bit, though the latter version use the same interpretation for both. This is based on an earlier patch from Bamvor.

[PATCH 0/7] scsi: bfa: do_gettimeofday removal

by Arnd Bergmann

The bfa driver is one of the main users of do_gettimeofday(), a function that I'm trying to remove as part of the y2038 cleanup. The timestamps are all uses in slightly different ways, so this has turned into a rather longish series for doing something that should be simple. The last patch in the series ("scsi: bfa: use 64-bit times in bfa_aen_entry_s ABI") is one that needs to be reviewed very carefully, and it can be skipped if the maintainers prefer to leave the 32-bit ABI unchanged, the rest are hopefully fairly straightforward.

Y2038 meeting at ELCE

by Ben Hutchings

There was a meeting at ELCE about the status and development of Y2038- safe APIs in Linux and GNU libc. This included several developers from members of CIP, plus Arnd Bergmann, Mark Brown and Albert Aribaud. Below are my notes from the meeting. Ben. ## Kernel Arnd Bergmann started working on Y2038 about 6 years ago, initially looking at file-systems and VFS. File-systems are mostly ready but VFS hasn't been switched over yet. The largest missing piece is the syscall interface. "We know what we want to do." There was a complete patch set for an older version, but it has not been completely rebased onto current mainline. On 32-bit systems about 35 syscalls use 32-bit time, but half of those are already obsolete. Something like 22 new syscalls will be needed. Network, sound, media, key management, input have not been dealt with yet. Patches are available for some of these but they can be invasive and hard to review. This is a low priority for some subsystem maintainers. About 100 device drivers need changes, ranging from an obvious 1 line change to a week's work. About 10% of the changes are needed for Y2038 safety on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, the rest only for 32-bit. Arnd wants to include a kconfig option to disable the 32-bit time APIs, so that any remaining users are easy to detect. ## GNU libc Albert Aribaut talked about the status of glibc. It will need to support both 32-bit `time_t` and 64-bit `time_t` independently of the kernel. A draft specification for this exists at <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Y2038ProofnessDesign>. About 60 APIs are affected, using `time_t` or derived type. Ideally source can be rebuilt to use 64-bit `time_t` just by defining the feature macro to enable it. The implementation is not complete, partly because syscalls haven't yet been defined. ## Other C libraries Arnd says some other C libraries will support 64-bit `time_t` but as a build-time option. I.e. libc and all applications must be built for either 32-bit or 64-bit `time_t`. ## Application compatibility issues If Unix timestamps are used in binary file formats or network protocols, these will need a new version. In some cases switching to unsigned 32-bit values is easy and will work for long enough. If `time_t` is used in library APIs then an ABI change is required. cppcheck(?) can find instances of this. Some libraries may use their own time types, so changing `time_t` won't be an ABI change but they will need to be updated anyway. Printing a value of type `time_t` with `printf()` and similar functions requires casting as there's no format specifier for it. It will be necessary to cast to `long long`, whereas previously `long` would work. The sparse static checker is supposed to be able to check for truncating conversions of `time_t`. ## Ongoing work in kernel and glibc A few people are working part time on this. Kernel patches are 60% done after 5 years, GNU libc about 75% (but only some of those changes have been applied). More people may be needed to speed this up and get it finished. The kernel side is coordinated through the y2038 mailing list: <https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/y2038>. Patches are all sent to this mailing list. There is currently no git tree collecting them all. Help is wanted to: * Update device drivers * Review sound patches * Collect patches into single git tree The glibc side is coordinated through the general development mailing list: <https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/involved.html>, <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/>. -- Ben Hutchings Software Developer, Codethink Ltd.
