ext2/3/4: fix file date underflow on ext2 3 filesystems on 64 bit systems
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5079
signed long ranges from -2.147.483.648 to 2.147.483.647 on x86 32bit
10000011110110100100111110111101 .. -2,082,844,739
10000011110110100100111110111101 .. 2,212,122,557 <- this currently gets
stored on the disk but when converting it to a 64bit signed long value it
loses
its sign and becomes positive.

Andreas says:
This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative
times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range
of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow -
now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting
timestamps into the distant past.
If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just
limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this
will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east
(files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output).
That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set
into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing
the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels.
On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps
to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so
this extends the maximum date to 2242.
