You forgot to insert 'blindly' between 'converts' and 'all'.

This is the wrong approach, really.
First of all this wants to be a seperate patch. Secondly it wants to
be a patch series which addresses the whole XEN space which is
involved in this. That involves other changes to x86 as well, but we
really can do better than mechanically pushing the problem one step
deeper just to get rid of the non safe do_settimeofday() variant.
It does not matter WHEN we remove that. What matters is that we do the
conversion in sensible contexts and not by mechanically pushing the
problem one layer down, leave cryptic TODO comments around and think
we achieved something.

That part is obvious, but it wants to be a seperate patch.

John: What kind of weird hackery is that alarm-dev thing? This should
rather die than being fixed.

This is a completely seperate change and should not be in that patch
at all.

Wrong again. Provide security_settime64() first. Then convert this file in one go.

Same here.

And here.
And once you converted these 3 files, you can remove
security_settime(). That makes a lot more sense than what you are
trying to do here.
