- Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] y2038: Support for Y2038 safe time on 32 bit systems
- References: <20190414220841.20243-1-lukma@denx.de> <20190507131848.30980-1-lukma@denx.de>
The time_t type is now Y2038 safe, which means that it is aliased to
__time64_t when __USE_TIME_BITS64 is defined or __time_t otherwise.
On the contrary the __time_t for 32 bit systems is only 32 bit, so for
Y2038 safe system it must be 64 bit (as is time_t)
This patch introduces the Y2038 specific code to make clock_settime/
__clock_settime64 Y2038 safe on 32 bit systems.
This goal is achieved by using aliasing to clock_settime names when
__USE_TIME_BITS64 is defined.
As a result user programs call 64 bit versions of functions (i.e.
__clock_settime64 instead of __clock_settime), which must have been
globally visible for this purpose - for non Y2038 safe code those are
hidden in glibc.
* include/features.h:
Add logic to set __USE_TIME_BITS64 according to passed (when building
userspace Y2038 safe program on 32 bit system) _TIME_BITS and
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS
* manual/creature.texi: Add description of _TIME_BITS
* time/bits/types/time_t.h:
Use __time64_t as time_t when __USE_TIME_BITS64 is defined
* time/bits/types/struct_timespec.h:
Replace tv_sec's __time_t type to Y2038 safe time_t
* include/time.h:
Remove libc_hidden_proto (__clock_settime64) - make the __clock_settime64
publicly available for Y2038 safe system
* time/time.h: Redirect clock_settime call to __clock_settime64 on 32 bit
Y2038 safe systems
* time/Versions (GLIBC_PRIVATE):
Export __clock_settime64 function as glibc private one, to be accessible from
user programs when y2038 support is enabled
* time/bits/types/struct_timespec.h:
Add unnamed padding around tv_nsec when __USE_TIME_BITS64 is defined
---
Changes for v3:
- Only support clock_settime conversion to be Y2038 (use it as an example
conversion code)
Changes for v2:
- Introduce unnamed padding in the struct timespec exported by glibc
(to the /usr/include)

+@defvr Macro _TIME_BITS
+This macro determines the bit size of @code{time_t} (and therefore the
+bit size of all @code{time_t} derived types and the prototypes of all
+related functions). If @code{_TIME_BITS} is undefined, the bit size of
+time_t equals the bit size of the architecture.
+
+If @code{_TIME_BITS} is undefined, or if @code{_TIME_BITS} is defined
+to the value @code{32} and @code{__WORDSIZE} is defined to the value
+@code{32}, or or if @code{_TIME_BITS} is defined to the value @code{64}
+and @code{__WORDSIZE} is defined to the value @code{64}, nothing changes.
+
+If @code{_TIME_BITS} is defined to the value @code{64} and if
+@code{__WORDSIZE} is defined to the value @code{32}, then the @w{64 bit}
+time API and implementation are used even though the architecture word
+size is @code{32}. Also, if the kernel provides @w{64 bit} time support,
+it is used; otherwise, the @w{32 bit} kernel time support is used (with
+no provision to address kernel Y2038 shortcomings).
+
+If @code{_TIME_BITS} is defined to the value @code{32} and if
+@code{__WORDSIZE} is defined to the value @code{64}, then a compile-time
+error is emitted.
+
+If @code{_TIME_BITS} is defined to a value different from both @code{32}
+and @code{64}, then a compile-time error is emitted.
