[glibc] y2038: Introduce the __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS define


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=a26918cfda4bc4b9dad8aae1496e3ef7cbb63d96

commit a26918cfda4bc4b9dad8aae1496e3ef7cbb63d96
Author: Lukasz Majewski <lukma@denx.de>
Date:   Wed Aug 28 14:27:03 2019 -0400

    y2038: Introduce the __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS define
    
    Add a macro to linux/kernel-features.h, __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS, to
    indicate whether the kernel can be assumed to provide a set of system
    calls that process 64-bit time_t.
    
    __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS does not indicate whether time_t is actually
    64 bits (that's __TIMEBITS) and also does not indicate whether the
    64-bit time_t system calls have "time64" suffixes on their names.
    
    Code that uses __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS will be added in subsequent
    patches.
    
    	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h
    	(__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS): New macro.

+/* Support for 64-bit time_t in the system call interface.  When this
+   flag is set, the kernel provides a version of each of these system
+   calls that accepts 64-bit time_t:
+
+     clock_adjtime(64)
+     clock_gettime(64)
+     clock_settime(64)
+     clock_getres(_time64)

+     timer_settime(64)
+     timerfd_gettime(64)
+     timerfd_settime(64)
+     utimensat(_time64)
+
+   On architectures where time_t has historically been 64 bits,
+   only the 64-bit version of each system call exists, and there
+   are no suffixes on the __NR_ constants.
+
+   On architectures where time_t has historically been 32 bits,
+   both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of each system call may exist,
+   depending on the kernel version.  When the 64-bit version exists,
+   there is a '64' or '_time64' suffix on the name of its __NR_
+   constant, as shown above.
+
+   This flag is always set for Linux 5.1 and later.  Prior to that
+   version, it is set only for some CPU architectures and ABIs:
+
+   - __WORDSIZE == 64 - all supported architectures where pointers
+     are 64 bits also have always had 64-bit time_t.
+
+   - __WORDSIZE == 32 && __SYSCALL_WORDSIZE == 64 - this describes
+     only one supported configuration, x86's 'x32' subarchitecture,
+     where pointers are 32 bits but time_t has always been 64 bits.
+
+   __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS being set does not mean __TIMESIZE is 64,
+   and __TIMESIZE equal to 64 does not mean __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
+   is set.  All four cases are possible.  */
