The current representation of inode times in struct inode, struct iattr,
and struct kstat use struct timespec. timespec is not y2038 safe.
Use struct inode_time for struct inode timestamp fields to maintain
same size for times across 32 bit and 64 bit architectures.
In addition, inode_time is defined as packed and aligned to a 4 byte
boundary to make the structure use 12 bytes instead of 16 bytes. This
will help save RAM space as inode structure is cached in memory. The
other structures are transient and do not benefit from these changes.
The pahole tool shows that this also uses up a 4 byte hole(on 64 bit arch)
in the inode structure also contributing to space savings.
Add accessors for inode times.
These provide a way to access the packed structure.
Accessors abstract the timestamp representation so that any logic
to convert between the struct inode timestamps and other interfaces
can be placed here. This helps contain the inode_time structure
within the context of struct inode.
The plan is to globally change all references to these types through
these accessors only. So when the actual internal representation
changes, it will be transparent to the outside world.
Add inode_timespec aliases to help convert kstat and iattr times to use
64 bit times. These hide the internal data type.
Use uapi exposed data types here to keep minimal timstamp data type
conversions in API's interfacing with vfs.
After the CONFIG_FS_USES_64BIT_TIME is enabled, all inode_timespec
aliases will be removed and timespec64 data types and API's will
be used directly.
