[ Upstream commit 4e3bbb33e6f36e4b05be1b1b9b02e3dd5aaa3e69 ]
SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW (timespec64 instead of timespec) is also used for
hardware time stamps (configured via SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW).
User space (ptp4l) first configures hardware time stamping via
SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW which sets SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW. In the next step, ptp4l
disables SO_TIMESTAMPNS(_NEW) (software time stamps), but this must not
switch hardware time stamps back to "32 bit mode".
This problem happens on 32 bit platforms were the libc has already
switched to struct timespec64 (from SO_TIMExxx_OLD to SO_TIMExxx_NEW
socket options). ptp4l complains with "missing timestamp on transmitted
peer delay request" because the wrong format is received (and
discarded).
Fixes: 887feae36aee ("socket: Add SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]_NEW")

Hi Greg,
I just got your E-mail(s) that this patch has been applied to 5.8 and 5.9.
This is a back port for the same problem on 5.4. It does the same as the
upstream patch, only the affected code is at another position here. Please
decide yourself whether the Acked-by: tags (from the upstream patch) should
be kept or removed.
This back port is only required for 5.4, older kernels like 4.19 are not
affected.
regards
Christian
