We exchange file timestamps with user space using psdev device read/write operations with a fixed but architecture specific binary layout. On 32-bit systems, this uses a 'timespec' structure that is defined by the C library to contain two 32-bit values for seconds and nanoseconds. As we get ready for the year 2038 overflow of the 32-bit signed seconds, the kernel now uses 64-bit timestamps internally, and user space will do the same change by changing the 'timespec' definition in the future. Unfortunately, this breaks the layout of the coda_vattr structure, so we need to redefine that in terms of something that does not change. I'm introducing a new 'struct vtimespec' structure here that keeps the existing layout, and the same change has to be done in the coda user space copy of linux/coda.h before anyone can use that on a 32-bit architecture with 64-bit time_t. An open question is what should happen to actual times past y2038, as they are now truncated to the last valid date when sent to user space, and interpreted as pre-1970 times when a timestamp with the MSB set is read back into the kernel. Alternatively, we could change the new timespec64_to_coda()/coda_to_timespec64() functions to use a different interpretation and extend the available range further to the future by disallowing past timestamps. This would require more changes in the user space side though.
