[PATCH 1/5] drivers/rtc/pcf8563: Replace deprecated rtc_time_to_tm() and rtc_tm_to_time()

[Xunlei Pang]

From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@linaro.org>

pcf8563_rtc_set_alarm() uses deprecated rtc_tm_to_time()
and rtc_time_to_tm(), which will overflow in year 2106
on 32-bit machines.

This patch solves this by:
 - Replacing rtc_time_to_tm() with rtc_time64_to_tm()
 - Replacing rtc_tm_to_time() with rtc_tm_to_time64()

[5/5] drivers/rtc/sa1100: Replace deprecated rtc_tm_to_time() and rtc_time_to_tm()

[Xunlei Pang]

From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@linaro.org>

The driver uses deprecated rtc_tm_to_time() and rtc_time_to_tm(),
which will overflow in year 2106 on 32-bit machines.

This patch solves this by:
 - Replacing rtc_tm_to_time() with rtc_tm_to_time64()
 - Replacing rtc_time_to_tm() with rtc_time64_to_tm()

NAK.

How does this fix anything?  The RTC contains 32-bit registers.  Even
if you convert the struct tm to a 64-bit time, you can only write the
lowest 32-bits to the hardware.  You can onyl read the lowest 32-bits
from the hardware too.

This patch solves /nothing/.  In fact, it hides the fact that this RTC
is unable to represent dates after 2106.

For the same reason that Russell pointed in patch 4/5, this hides that
it doesn't work after 2106-02-07 06:28:16 as the register is still 32
bits.
I would prefer that you return an error in that case.

To further explain, for the rtc hardware with 32-bit counters, we actually 

had a solution before: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/27/341

But seems some guys don't like the solution, so rtc drivers like this one 
can't be simply changed to use the new-added y2038-safe interfaces.

Maybe those drivers will still retain the deprecated interfaces until a 
better solution is proposed.

Note that Alexandre has stepped up as a new maintainer for RTC now,
so whatever he wants is probably the way it should be done.

I think the way that your first approach came out was a bit unfortunate,
because we didn't have agreement on how it should really be done.

IMHO the rtc_time64_to_hw32 and rtc_hw32_to_time64 interfaces were a
good concept, most importantly so we can easily find where the potential
problems are, but the implementation was a bit too ambitious in trying
to fix the underlying issue.

If we want to start this over again, I think a better approach would be
to introduce trivial functions at first, like

time64_t rtc_hw32_to_time64(u32 hwtime)
{
	/* 
	 * this is safe until about 2106, when unsigned u32 seconds from the
	 * 1970 epoch will overflow
	 */
	return (u64)hwtime;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rtc_hw32_to_time64);

This way, we can fix all the drivers without introducing any possible
ambiguity and later decide how that function should in fact handle the
2106 overflow. Our grandchildren can take care of that if necessary ;-)

We also have RTCs that can only store the year as an integer between 0
and 99. Some of them will definitively not pass 2099, considering that
the can only handle leap days between 2000 and 2099. Also, we have a few
drivers assuming that year >= 70 is in the 19s so they will stop working
correctly in 2070. I think we also have to consider those while trying
to find a solution.

I feel that we still have a bit of time before having to hurry and find
a proper solution ;)
