The SIOCGSTAMP/SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands are implemented by many socket protocol handlers, and all of those end up calling the same sock_get_timestamp()/sock_get_timestampns() helper functions, which results in a lot of duplicate code.
With the introduction of 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures, this gets worse, as we then need four different ioctl commands in each socket protocol implementation.
To simplify that, let's add a new .gettstamp() operation in struct proto_ops, and move ioctl implementation into the common sock_ioctl()/compat_sock_ioctl_trans() functions that these all go through.
We can reuse the sock_get_timestamp() implementation, but generalize it so it can deal with both native and compat mode, as well as timeval and timespec structures.

This also will simplify fixing a recently reported race condition with sock_get_timestamp [1]. That calls sock_enable_timestamp, which modifies sk->sk_flags, without taking the socket lock. Currently some callers of sock_get_timestamp hold the lock (ax25, netrom, qrtr), many don't. See also how this patch removes the lock_sock in the netrom case. Moving the call to sock_gettstamp outside the protocol handlers will allow taking the lock inside the function.
If this is the only valid implementation of .gettstamp, the indirect call could be avoided in favor of a simple branch.
Thanks,
