[PATCH v2 4/7] y2038: linux: Provide __clock_settime64 implementation


This patch provides new __clock_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for
setting the time. Moreover, a 32 bit version - __clock_settime has been
refactored to internally use __clock_settime64.

The __clock_settime is now supposed to be used on 32 bit systems -
hence the necessary checks and conversion to 64 bit type. After this
change it is intrinsically Y2038 safe.

The new 64 bit syscall (clock_settime64) available from Linux
5.1+ has been used when applicable on 32 bit systems.

The __ASSUME_64BIT_TIME flag indicates if the Linux kernel provides 64 bit
version of clock_settime (i.e. clock_settime64). If defined - return value
is returned unconditionally. If not - the 32 bit version of this syscall
is executed instead.

When working on 32 bit systems without Y2038 time support the clock_settime
returns error when one wants to set time with wrong (overflowed) tv_sec
value. Moreover, the correctness of tv_nsec is checked.

In this patch the internal padding (tv_pad) of struct __timespec64 is set to
zero (on 32 bit systems) to avoid passing random data to Linux kernel.

The execution path on 64 bit systems has not been changed or affected in
any way.

Tests:
- The code has been tested with x86_64/x86 (native compilation):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && make xcheck PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8"

- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038
and run tests:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master
on kernels with and without 64 bit time support.

No regressions were observed.

* include/time.h (__clock_settime64):
  Add __clock_settime alias according to __TIMESIZE define
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime):
  Refactor this function to be used only on 32 bit machines as a wrapper
  on __clock_settime64.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime64): Add
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime64):
  Use clock_settime64 kernel syscall (available from 5.1-rc1+ Linux) by
  32 bit Y2038 safe systems

---
Changes for v2:
- Add support for __ASSUME_64BIT_TIME flag when Linux kernel provides syscalls
  supporting 64 bit time on 32 bit systems
- Provide fallback to 32 bit version of clock_settime when clock_settime64
  is not available
- Do not copy *tp to timespec - this seems like an overkill as in clock_settime()
  the 32 bit struct timespec is copied to internal 64 bit struct __timespec64
