From: Philipp Tomsich <philipp.toms...@theobroma-systems.com> Since __kernel_long_t (time_t) is long long, we need to tell the rest of kernel that we use 64bit time_t for compat when the task is not an AARCH32 task. The reason why we check AARCH32 rather than ILP32 here is because if we don't have AARCH32 compiled in (which is going to be the common case due to AARCH32 requiring 4k pages).
Stricly speaking, a 'long long' time_t is not standards-compliant (refer to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16437 for details), but there is precedent (i.e. x32) for such an implementation both in the kernel and in glibc.
