struct timeval uses a 32-bit seconds representation which will overflow in the year 2038 and beyond. This patch replaces the usage of struct timeval with ktime_t which is a 64-bit timestamp and is year 2038 safe. This patch is part of a larger attempt to remove all instances of 32-bit timekeeping variables (timeval, timespec, time_t) which are not year 2038 safe, from the kernel.
