All system calls use struct __kernel_timespec instead of the old struct timespec, but this one was just added with the old-style ABI. Change it now to enforce the use of __kernel_timespec, avoiding ABI confusion and the need for compat handlers on 32-bit architectures.
Any user space caller will have to use __kernel_timespec now, but this is unambiguous and works for any C library regardless of the time_t definition. A nicer way to specify the timeout would have been a less ambiguous 64-bit nanosecond value, but I suppose it's too late now to change that as this would impact both 32-bit and 64-bit users.
Thanks for catching that, Arnd. Applied.
On second thought - since there appears to be no good 64-bit timespec available to userspace, the alternative here is including on in liburing. That seems kinda crappy in terms of API, so why not just use a 64-bit nsec value as you suggest? There's on released kernel with this feature yet, so there's nothing stopping us from just changing the API to be based on a single 64-bit nanosecond timeout.
