Series y2038: Linux: Provide __clock_* functions supporting 64 bit time | expand

Commit Message

This type is a glibc's type similar to struct timespec
but whose tv_sec field is a __time64_t rather than a time_t,
which makes it Y2038-proof and usable to pass between user
code and Y2038-proof kernel syscalls (e.g. clock_gettime()).

To support passing this structure to the kernel - the tv_pad,
32 bit padding field has been introduced. The placement of it
depends on endiannes of the SoC.

Tested on x86_64 and ARM.

* include/time.h: Add struct __timespec64 definition
