This is a mostly unchanged copy of a series I sent back in April for
an initial review. All the earlier syscall patches that Deepa or I sent
got merged now, and this is the largest chunk of remaining patches.
Changes this time are:
- This is actually tested with the LTP syscalls test suite,
both before and after the CONFIG_64BIT_TIME change (which is not
included here). I have created a patch series for musl libc to use
64-bit time_t and change all the system calls over to the new entry
points for this. The only bugs I found during that testing were in
later parts of the conversion that I have not posted yet.
- I rewrote the sys_io_getevents conversion after the
introduction of sys_sys_io_getevents. We obviously don't need to have
two of each, so we will only provide sys_io_pgetevents() with 64-bit
time_t but not sys_io_getevents(), which the libc can implement on
top of the former.
- While we have Deepa's POSIX timer conversion merged now, we
still need to decide on how we want to do the replacement
ABI for getitimer()/setitimer(). Like getrusage()/waitid() and
clock_adjtime() and unlike the system calls I'm posting here,
there is no one obvious ABI.
- For ppoll()/pselect6(), the ABI is fairly clear, but the
implementation still needs to be done. I tested with a simple
prototype based on the existing compat code, but we can
probably improve that. This is something that Deepa still
wants to work on.
- Finally, Christoph Hellwig objected to the idea of reusing the
compat_ namespace for the 32-bit native case. Changing that
would be a departure from our plans so far[2], and would make
some things end up differently. Until we have decided on how this
is to be done, I've decided to not change the code for this
post. We can clearly rename all the symbols and I've implemented
that in [3] for the current linux-next (not including the
series here). This is something we can definitely do, but I'd
need to know soon whether we can merge this series unchanged
for 4.19 or if I should rebase it on top of that patch with the
alternative naming.

Previous cover letter announcement below, see [4] for the full
series:
After the first timekeeping series from Deepa (merged into -tip now)
and my follow-up for IPC system calls, this is a third set of system
call conversions following the same principle.
Most of the changes are straightforward, so I'm grouping them into a
larger series even though the system calls are mostly unrelated to one
another. After this series, the remaining calls that need to be changed
are getrusage()/waitid(), pselect6/ppoll(), timer{,fd}_{get,set}time()
and getitimer()/setitimer(). Those will be sent separately, once they
are matured enough.
To put the changes into perspective, a list of all system calls that
require changes is available in a spreadsheet[5] and I have made
another experimental patch that changes over x86[6] and arm[7] to
actually use them.
