struct timeval is not y2038 safe.
All usage of timeval in the kernel will be replaced by
y2038 safe structures.
struct input_event maintains time for each input event.
Real time timestamps are not ideal for input as this
time can go backwards as noted in the patch a80b83b7b8
by John Stultz.
Reposting the series as I did not hear comments from the
maintainers.
The series is aimed at making input events y2038 safe.
It extends the lifetime of the realtime timestamps in the
events to year 2106.
The plan is to deprecate realtime timestamps anyway as they
are not appropriate for these
struct timeval is not y2038 safe.
All references to timeval will be deleted from the
kernel to make it y2038 safe.
Replace its uses by y2038 safe struct timespec64.
The timestamps changed here only keep track of delta
times. These timestamps are also internal to kernel.
Hence, monotonic times are
