We absolutely can and should add documentation for the kernel syscalls since they are unique syscalls that take 64-bit time_t variants for a 32-bit userspace. These syscalls are the 64-bit time_t variants to allow userspace to build 32-bit targets that have 64-bit time_t e.g. alternate ABI i686 with 64-bit time_t. The userspace interfaces are hidden behind a 64-bit time_t though and shouldn't change (though the ABI changes). -- Cheers, Carlos.
