This nanosecond patch seems to be missing the fix below which is required for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5079

If the timestamp is set to before epoch i.e. a negative timestamp then the file may have its date set into the future on 64-bit systems. So when the timestamp is read it must be cast as signed.
