After changing over to 64-bit time_t syscalls, many architectures will
want compat_sys_utimensat() but not respective handlers for utime(),
utimes() and futimesat(). This adds a new __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 to
complement __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME. For now, all 64-bit architectures that
support CONFIG_COMPAT set it, but future 64-bit architectures will not
(tile would not have needed it either, but got removed).
As older 32-bit architectures get converted to using CONFIG_64BIT_TIME,
they will have to use __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 instead of
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME. Architectures using the generic syscall ABI don't
need either of them as they never had a utime syscall.
Since the compat_utimbuf structure is now required outside of
CONFIG_COMPAT, I'm moving it into compat_time.h.

Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:
Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.
The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:
old new
--- ---
compat_time_t old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32()
As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.
I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.
This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

After many small patches, at least some of the deprecated interfaces
have no remaining users any more and can be removed:
current_kernel_time
do_settimeofday
get_monotonic_boottime
get_monotonic_boottime64
get_monotonic_coarse
get_monotonic_coarse64
getrawmonotonic64
ktime_get_real_ts
timekeeping_clocktai
timespec_trunc
timespec_valid_strict
time_to_tm
For many of the remaining time functions, we are missing one or
two patches that failed to make it into 4.19, they will be removed
in the following merge window.
The replacement functions for the removed interfaces are documented in
Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst.

As part of the system call rework for 64-bit time_t, we are restructuring
the way that compat syscalls deal with 32-bit time_t, reusing the
implementation for 32-bit architectures. Christoph Hellwig suggested a
rename of the associated types and interfaces to avoid the confusing usage
of the 'compat' prefix for 32-bit architectures.
To prepare for doing that in linux-4.20, add a set of macros that allows to
convert subsystems separately to the new names and avoids some of the
nastier merge conflicts.

At this point, we have converted most of the kernel to use timespec64
consistently in place of timespec, so it seems it's time to make
timespec64 the native structure and define timespec in terms of that
one on 64-bit architectures.
Starting with gcc-5, the compiler can completely optimize away the
timespec_to_timespec64 and timespec64_to_timespec functions on 64-bit
architectures. With older compilers, we introduce a couple of extra
copies of local variables, but those are easily avoided by using
the timespec64 based interfaces consistently, as we do in most of the
important code paths already.
The main upside of removing the hack is that printing the tv_sec
field of a timespec64 structure can now use the %lld format
string on all architectures without a cast to time64_t. Without
this patch, the field is a 'long' type and would have to be printed
using %ld on 64-bit architectures.

Dealing with 'struct timeval' users in the y2038 series is a bit tricky:
We have two definitions of timeval that are visible to user space,
one comes from glibc (or some other C library), the other comes from
linux/time.h. The kernel copy is what we want to be used for a number of
structures defined by the kernel itself, e.g. elf_prstatus (used it core
dumps), sysinfo and rusage (used in system calls). These generally tend
to be used for passing time intervals rather than absolute (epoch-based)
times, so they do not suffer from the y2038 overflow. Some of them
could be changed to use 64-bit timestamps by creating new system calls,
others like the core files cannot easily be changed.
An application using these interfaces likely also uses gettimeofday()
or other interfaces that use absolute times, and pass 'struct timeval'
pointers directly into kernel interfaces, so glibc must redefine their
timeval based on a 64-bit time_t when they introduce their y2038-safe
interfaces.
The only reasonable way forward I see is to remove the 'timeval'
definion from the kernel's uapi headers, and change the interfaces that
we do not want to (or cannot) duplicate for 64-bit times to use a new
__kernel_old_timeval definition instead. This type should be avoided
for all new interfaces (those can use 64-bit nanoseconds, or the 64-bit
version of timespec instead), and should be used with great care when
converting existing interfaces from timeval, to be sure they don't suffer
from the y2038 overflow, and only with consensus for the particular user
that using __kernel_old_timeval is better than moving to a 64-bit based
interface. The structure name is intentionally chosen to not conflict
with user space types, and to be ugly enough to discourage its use.
Note that ioctl based interfaces that pass a bare 'timeval' pointer
cannot change to '__kernel_old_timeval' because the user space source
code refers to 'timeval' instead, and we don't want to modify the user
space sources if possible. However, any application that relies on a
structure to contain an embedded 'timeval' (e.g. by passing a pointer
to the member into a function call that expects a timeval pointer) is
broken when that structure gets converted to __kernel_old_timeval. I
don't see any way around that, and we have to rely on the compiler to
produce a warning or compile failure that will alert users when they
recompile their sources against a new libc.

On 64-bit architectures, the timespec64 based helpers in linux/time.h
are defined as macros pointing to their timespec based counterparts.
This made sense when they were first introduced, but as we are migrating
away from timespec in general, it's much less intuitive now.
This changes the macros to work in the exact opposite way: we always
provide the timespec64 based helpers and define the old interfaces as
macros for them. Now we can move those macros into linux/time32.h, which
already contains the respective helpers for 32-bit architectures.

Interfaces based on 'struct timespec' or 'struct timeval' should no
longer be used for new code, which can use either ktime_t or 'struct
timespec64' instead.
To make this a little clearer, this moves the various helpers into a new
time32.h header. For the moment, this gets included by the normal time.h,
but we may be able to separate it entirely when most users of time32.h
are gone.
Individual helpers in the new file can get removed once they become unused
in the future.
Since the contents of time32.h look a lot like what's in time64.h, I'm
reordering them during the move to make them more similar, and to allow
a follow-up patch to redirect the 'timespec' based functions to thei
'timespec64' based counterparts on 64-bit architectures later.
