Subject: [RFC 00/32] making inode time stamps y2038 ready
Based on the recent discussion about 64-bit time_t for new
architectures, and for solving the year 2038 problem in general,
I decided to try out what it would take to solve part of the
kernel side of things.
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.
