The first two patches contain the basic framework for the 64 bit time migration
for filesystems.
The next two patches shows how the framework has been adapted to vfs layer and
cifs filesystem.
There might be some minor changes or additions required as I start adapting to
other filesystems.
The change to timestamp conversion functions(to and from unix format to others)
and range checks will be part of a separate series.
Changes since v1:
* move SYSTEM_TIME macros to fs.h
* add 64 bit version of CURRENT_TIME macros.
Deepa Dinamani (4):
vfs: Add 64 bit time support
kernel: time: Add macros and functions to support 64 bit time
vfs: Add support for vfs code to use 64 bit time.

Concerned with migrating the key related structs in security/keys to
use 64-bit time datatypes; and their corresponding system calls and
macros. The patches are highly correlated and should be either accepted
or rejected as a series. However, they were generated in such
a way that they would be independent. This is for the sake of
readability and to avoid the introduction of new warnings while
building the kernel.

This is the basic framework for the 64 bit time migration for filesystems.
There might be some changes or additions required as I start adapting to
filesystems.
This gives the basic high level concept so that we can start discussing.
Actual changes to vfs and other file systems will be in a separate
series.

Hi,
I am new to linux kernel and trying to understand the process of
different git branch to work.
So, if I am not wrong then there are different branch like stable, next,
staging etc. Previously I work with staging branch so if I am making
any changes for drivers/staging I have to work with staging branch like
follow.
git clone
git checkout -t -b staging-testing origin/staging-testing
git chekcout -b MY_LOCAL_BRANCH
not do work and subimt
So, how it work for other source structure, like now I want to make some
for y2038 -> drivers/scsi which branch should I set up and work with,
next/stable/or is there any specific y2038 branch.
Any wiki link or documentation that explain this full process which
branch to work with when making changes to specific directory will be
useful.
Thanks,
Shirish
These series of patches try to convert parport device(ppdev) to
y2038 safe, and support y2038 safe and unsafe application at the
same time. There were some discussions in y2038 mailing list[1].
An y2038 safe application/kernel use 64bit time_t(aka time64_t)
to avoid 32-bit time types broken in the year 2038. Given that
some time relative struct(e.g. timeval in ppdev.c) is mainly the
offset of the real time, the old 32bit time_t in such application
is safe. We need to handle the 32bit time_t and 64bit time_t
application at the same time. My approach here is handle them as
different ioctl command for different size of timeval.
Build successful on arm64 and arm.

Here is the sixth version for converting parport device(ppdev) to
y2038 safe. The first four could found at [1][2][3][4][5].
An y2038 safe application/kernel use 64bit time_t(aka time64_t)
instead of 32bit time_t. Given that some time relative struct(e.g.
timeval in ppdev.c) is mainly the offset of the real time, the old
32bit time_t in such application is safe. We need to handle the
32bit time_t and 64bit time_t application at the same time.
My approach here is handle them as different ioctl command for
different size of timeval.
Build successful on arm64 and arm.
Changes since v5:
1. Replace PP[GS]ETTIME_safe/unsafe with PP[GS]ETTIME32/64.
2. Rewirte PPSETTIME ioctl with jiffies_to_timespec64 in order to
replace user fake HZ(TICK_USEC) to kernel HZ(TICK_NSEC).
3. define tv_sec as long and tv_usec as int in pp_set_timeout. It
should be enough for the timeout.
Change since v4:
1. change type of tv_sec and tv_usec to s64 in pp_set_timeout.
Use s64 could avoid s64 cast to s32 in arm 32bit.
Changes since V3:
1. create pp_set_timeout, pp_get_timeout to reduce the duplicated
code in my patch according to the suggestion of arnd.
I use div_u64_rem instead of jiffies_to_timespec64 because
it could save a divide operaion.

Here is the fifth version for converting parport device(ppdev) to
y2038 safe. The first four could found at [1], [2], [3], [4].
An y2038 safe application/kernel use 64bit time_t(aka time64_t)
instead of 32bit time_t. There are the 5 cases need to support:
summary |u:arch |u:tv_sec |k:arch |k:tv_sec
-------------------|-------|---------|-------|--------
32_y2038_unsafe |32 |32 |32 |32
32_y2038_safe |32 |64 |32 |64
compat_y2038_unsafe|32 |32 |64 |64
compat_y2038_safe |32 |64 |64 |64
64_y2038_safe |64 |64 |64 |64
notes:
1. xxx_y2038_safe/unsafe. 32 means app running on the 32bit
kernel. Compat means 32bit app running on 64bit kernel. 64
means 64bit app running on 64bit kernel.
2. 1.3.5 are the original one, we need keep the compatability.
2,4 is new one we need to support.
There are different ways to do this. Convert to 64bit time and/or
define COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME 0 or 1 to indicate y2038 safe or unsafe.
But it is not mean that we need to convert all the time relative
struct to 64bit. Because some time relative struct(e.g. timeval in
ppdev.c) is mainly the offset of the real time.
The main issue in ppdev.c is PPSETTIME/PPGETTIME which transfer
timeval between user space and kernel. My approach here is handle them
as different ioctl command.
Build successful on arm64 and arm.
Change since v4:
1. change type of tv_sec and tv_usec to s64 in pp_set_timeout.
Use s64 could avoid s64 cast to s32 in arm 32bit.
