Pull y2038 - time64 system calls from Arnd Bergmann:

This series finally gets us to the point of having system calls with 64-bit
time_t on all architectures, after a long time of incremental preparation
patches.

There was actually one conversion that I missed during the summer,
i.e. Deepa's timex series, which I now updated based the 5.0-rc1 changes
and review comments.

The following system calls are now added on all 32-bit architectures using
the same system call numbers:

403 clock_gettime64
404 clock_settime64
405 clock_adjtime64
406 clock_getres_time64
407 clock_nanosleep_time64
408 timer_gettime64
409 timer_settime64
410 timerfd_gettime64
411 timerfd_settime64
412 utimensat_time64
413 pselect6_time64
414 ppoll_time64
416 io_pgetevents_time64
417 recvmmsg_time64
418 mq_timedsend_time64
419 mq_timedreceiv_time64
420 semtimedop_time64
421 rt_sigtimedwait_time64
422 futex_time64
423 sched_rr_get_interval_time64

Each one of these corresponds directly to an existing system call that
includes a 'struct timespec' argument, or a structure containing a timespec
or (in case of clock_adjtime) timeval. Not included here are new versions
of getitimer/setitimer and getrusage/waitid, which are planned for the
future but only needed to make a consistent API rather than for correct
operation beyond y2038. These four system calls are based on 'timeval', and
it has not been finally decided what the replacement kernel interface will
use instead.

So far, I have done a lot of build testing across most architectures, which
has found a number of bugs. Runtime testing so far included testing LTP on
32-bit ARM with the existing system calls, to ensure we do not regress for
existing binaries, and a test with a 32-bit x86 build of LTP against a
modified version of the musl C library that has been adapted to the new
system call interface [3].  This library can be used for testing on all
architectures supported by musl-1.1.21, but it is not how the support is
getting integrated into the official musl release. Official musl support is
planned but will require more invasive changes to the library.

Pull preparatory work for y2038 changes from Arnd Bergmann:

System call unification and cleanup

The system call tables have diverged a bit over the years, and a number of
the recent additions never made it into all architectures, for one reason
or another.

This is an attempt to clean it up as far as we can without breaking
compatibility, doing a number of steps:

 - Add system calls that have not yet been integrated into all architectures
   but that we definitely want there. This includes {,f}statfs64() and
   get{eg,eu,g,p,u,pp}id() on alpha, which have been missing traditionally.

 - The s390 compat syscall handling is cleaned up to be more like what we
   do on other architectures, while keeping the 31-bit pointer
   extension. This was merged as a shared branch by the s390 maintainers
   and is included here in order to base the other patches on top.

 - Add the separate ipc syscalls on all architectures that traditionally
   only had sys_ipc(). This version is done without support for IPC_OLD
   that is we have in sys_ipc. The new semtimedop_time64 syscall will only
   be added here, not in sys_ipc

 - Add syscall numbers for a couple of syscalls that we probably don't need
   everywhere, in particular pkey_* and rseq, for the purpose of symmetry:
   if it's in asm-generic/unistd.h, it makes sense to have it everywhere. I
   expect that any future system calls will get assigned on all platforms
   together, even when they appear to be specific to a single architecture.

 - Prepare for having the same system call numbers for any future calls. In
   combination with the generated tables, this hopefully makes it easier to
   add new calls across all architectures together.

All of the above are technically separate from the y2038 work, but are done
as preparation before we add the new 64-bit time_t system calls everywhere,
providing a common baseline set of system calls.

I expect that glibc and other libraries that want to use 64-bit time_t will
require linux-5.1 kernel headers for building in the future, and at a much
later point may also require linux-5.1 or a later version as the minimum
kernel at runtime. Having a common baseline then allows the removal of many
architecture or kernel version specific workarounds.

Stack unwinding is implemented incorrectly in xtensa get_wchan: instead
of extracting a0 and a1 registers from the spill location under the
stack pointer it extracts a word pointed to by the stack pointer and
subtracts 4 or 3 from it.

This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t
today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing
counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64'
for clarification.

This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library
that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of
loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the
big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point.

In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer,
waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet,
but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping
around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they
pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They
will be dealt with later.

<title>y2038: rename old time and utime syscalls</title>

<name>Arnd Bergmann</name>

<id>d33c577cccd0b3e5bb2425f85037f26714a59363</id>
<content type='text'>
The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only
used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants
of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64,
and utimensat_time64.

However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures
that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the
traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system
calls that now require two versions.

Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is
reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while
we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat
mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive.

This is only a cleanup patch and it should not change any behavior.

The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only
used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants
of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64,
and utimensat_time64.

However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures
that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the
traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system
calls that now require two versions.

Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is
reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while
we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat
mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive.
