y2038: timekeeping syscall changes
This is the first set of system call entry point changes to enable 32-bit
architectures to have variants on both 32-bit and 64-bit time_t. Typically
these system calls take a 'struct timespec' argument, but that structure
is defined in user space by the C library and its layout will change.
The kernel already supports handling the 32-bit time_t on 64-bit
architectures through the CONFIG_COMPAT mechanism. As there are a total
of 51 system calls suffering from this problem, reusing that mechanism
on 32-bit architectures.
We already have patches for most of the remaining system calls, but this
set contains most of the complexity and is best tested. There was one
last-minute regression that prevented it from going into 4.17, but that
is fixed now.
More details from Deepa's patch series description:
Big picture is as per the lwn article:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643234/ [2]
The series is directed at converting posix clock syscalls:
clock_gettime, clock_settime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep
to use a new data structure __kernel_timespec at syscall boundaries.
__kernel_timespec maintains 64 bit time_t across all execution modes.
vdso will be handled as part of each architecture when they enable
support for 64 bit time_t.
The compat syscalls are repurposed to provide backward compatibility
by using them as native syscalls as well for 32 bit architectures.
They will continue to use timespec at syscall boundaries.
CONFIG_64_BIT_TIME controls whether the syscalls use __kernel_timespec
or timespec at syscall boundaries.
The series does the following:
1. Enable compat syscalls on 32 bit architectures.
2. Add a new __kernel_timespec type to be used as the data structure
for all the new syscalls.
3. Add new config CONFIG_64BIT_TIME(intead of the CONFIG_COMPAT_TIME in
[1] and [2] to switch to new definition of __kernel_timespec. It is
the same as struct timespec otherwise.
4. Add new CONFIG_32BIT_TIME to conditionally compile compat syscalls.
----------------------------------------------------------------
v2: rewrote subject lines as suggested by Thomas, the contents
are unchanged. I Hope I understood all the requests right.
Arnd Bergmann (2):
time: Add an asm-generic/compat.h file
sparc: compat: Allow including asm/compat.h for 32-bit
Deepa Dinamani (10):
compat: Make compat helpers independent of CONFIG_COMPAT
compat: Move compat_timespec/ timeval to compat_time.h
compat: Enable compat_get/put_timespec64 always
time: Introduce CONFIG_64BIT_TIME in architectures
time: Introduce CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
posix-timers: Make compat syscalls depend on CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
time: Add new y2038 safe __kernel_timespec
time: Fix get_timespec64() for y2038 safe compat interfaces
time: Change types to new y2038 safe __kernel_* types
time: Change nanosleep to safe __kernel_* types
