Pull y2038 cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "y2038 syscall implementation cleanups

  This is a series of cleanups for the y2038 work, mostly intended for
  namespace cleaning: the kernel defines the traditional time_t, timeval
  and timespec types that often lead to y2038-unsafe code. Even though
  the unsafe usage is mostly gone from the kernel, having the types and
  associated functions around means that we can still grow new users,
  and that we may be missing conversions to safe types that actually
  matter.

  There are still a number of driver specific patches needed to get the
  last users of these types removed, those have been submitted to the
  respective maintainers"

<content type='text'>
The futex exit handling is #ifdeffed into mm_release() which is not pretty
to begin with. But upcoming changes to address futex exit races need to add
more functionality to this exit code.

Split it out into a function, move it into futex code and make the various
futex exit functions static.

Preparatory only and no functional change.

Folded build fix from Borislav.

The structure is only used in one place, moving it there simplifies the
interface and helps with later changes to this code.

Rename it to match the other time32 structures in the process.

This gets us one step closer to removing 'struct timeval' from the
kernel. We still keep __kernel_old_timeval for interfaces that we cannot
fix otherwise, and ns_to_compat_timeval() is provably safe for interfaces
that are legitimate users of __kernel_old_timeval on native kernels,
so this is an obvious change.

task-&gt;saved_sigmask and -&gt;restore_sigmask are only used in the ret-from-
syscall paths.  This means that set_user_sigmask() can save -&gt;blocked in
-&gt;saved_sigmask and do set_restore_sigmask() to indicate that -&gt;blocked
was modified.

This way the callers do not need 2 sigset_t's passed to set/restore and
restore_user_sigmask() renamed to restore_saved_sigmask_unless() turns
into the trivial helper which just calls restore_saved_sigmask().

<content type='text'>
A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation
using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have
been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit
architectures as well.

The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
to get them out of the compat namespace and make it possible to build them
on 32-bit architectures.

Any system call that ends in 'time' gets a '32' suffix on its name for
that version, while the others get a '_time32' suffix, to distinguish
them from the normal version, which takes a 64-bit time argument in the
future.

In this step, only 64-bit architectures are changed, doing this rename
first lets us avoid touching the 32-bit architectures twice.

We want to reuse the compat_timex handling on 32-bit architectures the
same way we are using the compat handling for timespec when moving to
64-bit time_t.

Move all definitions related to compat_timex out of the compat code
into the normal timekeeping code, along with a rename to old_timex32,
corresponding to the timespec/timeval structures, and make it controlled
by CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME, which 32-bit architectures will then select.

<id>urn:sha1:2367c4b5fa09b2947d03c5cd23d7bc0200b7fe4f</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that 32-bit architectures have two variants of sys_rt_sigtimedwaid()
for 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, we also need to have a second compat system
call entry point on the corresponding 64-bit architectures.

The traditional system call keeps getting handled
by compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait(), and this adds a new
compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time64() that differs only in the timeout
argument type.

The naming remains a bit asymmetric for the moment. Ideally we would
want to have compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait_time32() for the old version
and compat_sys_rt_sigtimedwait() for the new one to mirror the names
of the native entry points, but renaming the existing system call
tables causes unnecessary churn. I would suggest renaming all such
system calls together at a later point.

<content type='text'>
recvmmsg() takes two arguments to pointers of structures that differ
between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures: mmsghdr and timespec.

For y2038 compatbility, we are changing the native system call from
timespec to __kernel_timespec with a 64-bit time_t (in another patch),
and use the existing compat system call on both 32-bit and 64-bit
architectures for compatibility with traditional 32-bit user space.

As we now have two variants of recvmmsg() for 32-bit tasks that are both
different from the variant that we use on 64-bit tasks, this means we
also require two compat system calls!

The solution I picked is to flip things around: The existing
compat_sys_recvmmsg() call gets moved from net/compat.c into net/socket.c
and now handles the case for old user space on all architectures that
have set CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME.  A new compat_sys_recvmmsg_time64()
call gets added in the old place for 64-bit architectures only, this
one handles the case of a compat mmsghdr structure combined with
__kernel_timespec.

In the indirect sys_socketcall(), we now need to call either
do_sys_recvmmsg() or __compat_sys_recvmmsg(), depending on what kind of
architecture we are on. For compat_sys_socketcall(), no such change is
needed, we always call __compat_sys_recvmmsg().

I decided to not add a new SYS_RECVMMSG_TIME64 socketcall: Any libc
implementation for 64-bit time_t will need significant changes including
an updated asm/unistd.h, and it seems better to consistently use the
separate syscalls that configuration, leaving the socketcall only for
backward compatibility with 32-bit time_t based libc.

The naming is asymmetric for the moment, so both existing syscalls
entry points keep their names, while the new ones are recvmmsg_time32
and compat_recvmmsg_time64 respectively. I expect that we will rename
the compat syscalls later as we start using generated syscall tables
everywhere and add these entry points.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
struct __kernel_timespec is the new y2038 safe structure for all
syscalls that are using struct timespec.
Update io_pgetevents interfaces to use struct __kernel_timespec.

sigset_t also has different representations on 32 bit and 64 bit
architectures. Hence, we need to support the following different
syscalls:

New y2038 safe syscalls:
(Controlled by CONFIG_64BIT_TIME for 32 bit ABIs)

Native 64 bit(unchanged) and native 32 bit : sys_io_pgetevents
Compat : compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64

Older y2038 unsafe syscalls:
(Controlled by CONFIG_32BIT_COMPAT_TIME for 32 bit ABIs)

Native 32 bit : sys_io_pgetevents_time32
Compat : compat_sys_io_pgetevents

Note that io_getevents syscalls do not have a y2038 safe solution.
