[RFC 00/12] [RFC] y2038: Convert timespec_{sub|add|create} in support to be Y2038 safe

[Lukasz Majewski]

This patch set is the first attempt to convert functions utilized by nptl and
pthreads to support 64 bit time.

First timespec* functions are renamed to have common "__" prefix for internal
functions. This is a preparatory work for further conversion.

One question with this patch set is how shall we tackle the conversion
of time related functions (like e.g. ./support/timespec_add) used internally in
glibc as helper functions for internal code or tests.
I could follow the approach used for glibc syscalls (like clock_settime) to have
two versions depending on __TIMESIZE and __WORDSIZE, but this seems to be an
overkill for internally used functions.

Patches with "Convert:" prefix replace struct timespec with struct __timespec64
in timespec_* functions. This is necessary to have in-glibc proper support for
64 bit time.
The problem is with instant replacement of struct timespec with struct 
__timespec64 in glibc internal code (and tests). 

For replacing timesize with __timesize64 I could:
- Replace its occurences in relevant directories - like ./nptl or
  ./sysdeps/pthreads

- Replace them in functions (tests) and use explicit conversion functions - like
  valid_timespec_to_timespec64()

- Replace _all_ occurences of struct timespec with struct __timespec64 at once
  with using sed on glibc tree.

The last option seems to be the most appealing as we already use __timespec64
(with its aliassing) for some core system syscalls (like clock_gettime).
However, such patch shall be applied just after the release of new stable
version to have time for potential fixes.
