Today, STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is based on the use of regular pages
to map kernel pages.
On Book3s 32, it has three consequences:
- Using pages instead of BAT for mapping kernel linear memory severely
impacts performance.
- Exec protection is not effective because no-execute cannot be set at
page level
Depending on the number of available BATs for mapping the different
kernel areas, it might be needed to increase the alignment of _etext
and/or of data areas.

This patch implements handling of STRICT_KERNEL_RWX with
large TLBs directly in the TLB miss handlers.
To do so, etext and sinittext are aligned on 512kB boundaries
and the miss handlers use 512kB pages instead of 8Mb pages for
addresses close to the boundaries.
It sets RO PP flags for addresses
On 8xx, large pages (512kb or 8M) are used to map kernel linear
memory. Aligning to 8M reduces TLB misses as only 8M pages are used
in that case.

sparc64 is the only architecture on Linux that has a 'timeval'
definition with a 32-bit tv_usec but a 64-bit tv_sec. This causes
problems for sparc32 compat mode when we convert it to use the
new __kernel_timex type that has the same layout as all other
64-bit architectures.
To avoid adding sparc6
A small typo has crept into the y2038 conversion of the timer_settime
system call. So far this was completely harmless, but once we start
using the new version, this has to be fixed.

This is the big flip, where all 32-bit architectures set COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
abd use the _time32 system calls from the former compat layer instead
of the system calls that take __kernel_timespec and similar arguments.

struct timex is not y2038 safe.
Replace all uses of timex with y2038 safe __kernel_timex.
Note that struct __kernel_timex is an ABI interface definition.
We could define a new structure based on __kernel_timex that
is only available internally instead. Right now, there isn't
We want to reuse the compat_timex handling on 32-bit architectures the
same way we are using the compat handling for timespec when moving to
64-bit time_t.
Move all definitions related to compat_timex out of the compat code
into the normal timekeeping code, along with a rename to old_timex32,

A lot of system calls that pass a time_t somewhere have an implementation
using a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() on 64-bit architectures, and have
been reworked so that this implementation can now be used on 32-bit
architectures as well.
The missing step is to redefine them using the regular SYSCALL_DEF

struct timex is not y2038 safe.
Switch all the syscall apis to use y2038 safe __kernel_timex.
Note that sys_adjtimex() does not have a y2038 safe solution. C libraries
can implement it by calling clock_adjtime(CLOCK_REALTIME, ...).

We now use 64-bit time_t on all architectures, so the __kernel_timex,
__kernel_timeval and __kernel_timespec redirects can be removed
after having served their purpose.
This makes it all much less confusing, as the __kernel_* types
now always refer to the same layout based on 64-bit time_t across
This series finally gets us to the point of having system calls with
64-bit time_t on all architectures, after a long time of incremental
preparation patches.
There was actually one conversion that I missed during the summer,
i.e. Deepa's timex series, which I now updated based the 5.0-rc1 changes
This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t
today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing
counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64'
for clarification.
This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library
that ha
The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only
used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants
of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64,
and utimensat_time64.
However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectu

glibc has a note that alpha lacks statfs64, any plans for that?
