[PATCH] y2038: Introduce __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS define

[Lukasz Majewski <lukma at denx dot de>]

This define indicates if the Linux kernel (5.1+) provides syscalls supporting
64 bit versions of struct timespec and timeval.

For architectures with __WORDSIZE==64 && __TIMESIZE==64 (e.g. x86_64, aarch64
this flag is never defined (as those already use 64 bit versions of struct
timespec and timeval).

The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS shall be only defined on systems with
__WORDSIZE==32.

For x32 this flag is explicitly undefined as this architecture has
64 bit registers but only 32 bit longs and pointers. Moreover, it uses
syscalls from x86_64.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h: (__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS):
[__LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION >= 0x050100]: Define.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/kernel-features.h (__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS):
#undef the __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS for x32 architecture

---
Changes for v4:
- Exclude this patch from the clock_settime64 patch series
- Rewrite the in-code comment
- Change patch description

Changes for v3:
- Provide more detailed and verbose description
- Change name to __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
- Undefine __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS on x32

Changes for v2:
- New patch

+/* Support for Linux kernel syscalls, which are able to handle 64 bit
+   time on 32 bit systems (with 'long' and __WORDSIZE equal to 32 bits).
+
+   Linux kernel, as of version 5.1, provides following set of syscalls,
+   which accept data based on struct timespec and timeval with 64 bit
+   tv_sec:
+
+   clock_gettime64
+   clock_settime64
+   clock_adjtime64
+   clock_getres_time64
+   clock_nanosleep_time64
+   timer_gettime64

+   semtimedop_time64
+   rt_sigtimedwait_time64
+   futex_time64
+   sched_rr_get_interval_time64
+
+   Above syscalls are supposed to replace legacy ones, which handle 32
+   bit version of struct timespec and timeval (i.e. without the '64'
+   suffix).  */
