This is a proof-of-concept work to get us to the point where two system calls (utimes and stat) provide a working interface to user space to pass 64-bit inode time stamps in and out of the kernel all the way to the file systems. I picked this because it is a fairly isolated problem, as the inode time stamps are rarely assigned to any other time values. As a byproduct of this work, I documented for each of the file systems we support how long the on-disk format can work[1]. Obviously we also need to convert all the other syscalls and have a proper libc implementation using those for this to be really useful, but it's a start and it can be tested independently (I didn't so far, want to wait for initial feedback). All the interesting stuff is in the first five patches here, the rest is the straightforward conversion of all file systems that use 'timespec' values internally. There are of course a number of open questions: a) is this the right approach in general? The previous discussion pointed this way, but there may be other opinions. b) what type should we use internally to represent inode time stamps? The code contains three different versions that would all work, we just have to pick a good tradeoff between efficiency and the range of times we want to cover. c) Should we continue this way for all 32-bit platforms for consistency, including future ones, or should we go to different 64-bit types right away? My feeling is that the second approach would complicate this work.
