Based on the recent discussion about 64-bit time_t for new
architectures, and for solving the year 2038 problem in general,
I decided to try out what it would take to solve part of the
kernel side of things.

This is a proof-of-concept work to get us to the point where
two system calls (utimes and stat) provide a working interface
to user space to pass 64-bit inode time stamps in and out of
the kernel all the way to the file systems.

I picked this because it is a fairly isolated problem, as the
inode time stamps are rarely assigned to any other time values.
As a byproduct of this work, I documented for each of the file
systems we support how long the on-disk format can work[1].

Obviously we also need to convert all the other syscalls and
have a proper libc implementation using those for this to
be really useful, but it's a start and it can be tested
independently (I didn't so far, want to wait for initial
feedback).

All the interesting stuff is in the first five patches here,
the rest is the straightforward conversion of all file systems
that use 'timespec' values internally.

There are of course a number of open questions:

a) is this the right approach in general? The previous discussion
   pointed this way, but there may be other opinions.
b) what type should we use internally to represent inode time
   stamps? The code contains three different versions that would
   all work, we just have to pick a good tradeoff between
   efficiency and the range of times we want to cover.
c) Should we continue this way for all 32-bit platforms for
   consistency, including future ones, or should we go to
   different 64-bit types right away? My feeling is that the
   second approach would complicate this work.

As one part of the puzzle to solve the y2038 problem, this introduces
a new time type to be used for keeping inode timestamps (atime, ctime,
mtime) inside of the kernel.

Initially, this type is defined to 'struct timespec' to allow migrating
all file systems one by one, but the intention is to change the definition
to use either 64-bit signed seconds or 'unsigned long' seconds, which
would allow timestamps between 1970 and 2106.

We cannot use time_t or any derived structures beyond the year
2038 in interfaces between kernel and user space, on 32-bit
machines.

This is my suggestion for how to migrate syscall and ioctl
interfaces: We completely phase out time_t, timeval and timespec
from the uapi header files and replace them with types that are
either explicitly safe (__kernel_timespec64), or explicitly
unsafe (e.g. __kernel_timespec32). For each unsafe interface,
there needs to be a safe replacement interface.

This introduces a new variant of the utime/utimes/futimesat/utimensat
system call (used by /usr/bin/touch), which fixes the 32-bit limitation
of time_t at the kernel/user boundary for 32-bit machines.

Each of the variants is a strict superset of the functionality of the
previous ones, so we only need to add one more and let the libc
emulate the other interfaces based on that.

This moves over the existing compat_sys_utimensat implementation
from fs/compat.c into fs/utimes.c and changes the data types so
we use __kernel_timespec64 for the new native code path and use
__kernel_timespec32 for the compatibility with existing 32-bit
code, independent of whether we run on 32 or 64-bit CPUs.

Other patches in this series take care of the in-kernel handling of
inode times, but the full solution will require many other patches
system calls passing time_t values, and of course a C library with
adaptations to use those.

We want to be able to read file system timestamps beyond year 2038,
which is currently impossibly on 32-bit systems, since none of the
various stat syscall interfaces (oldstat, stat, stat64) handles
correctly.

This introduces a fourth version of the syscalls, called newfstat64
and newfstatat64, which operate on struct newstat64. Each 32-bit
architecture needs to define a version of this structure.
Architectures that have a 64-bit CPU should use the native 64-bit
'struct stat' if possible, so we can avoid adding a compat_newfstatat64
syscall. Note that there is no sys_newlstat64 or sys_newstat64,
as both can be trivially emulated from libc using newfstatat64.

This approach might not be the best solution, as there have been
proposals in the past to add a new 'struct xstat' interface that
would not only solve the y2038 problem but provide a number of
other extensions as well. I have chickened out and avoided reviving
that discussion for now. This new set of syscalls is a much simpler
addition and is hopefully less controversial.
If we end up merging xstat first, we won't need this patch.

This adds the newly added system calls for newfstat64, newfstatat64
and utimens64at to x86, arm and all architectures using the generic
syscall ABI.

isofs uses a 'char' variable to load the number of years since
1900 for an inode timestamp. On architectures that use a signed
char type by default, this results in an invalid date for
anything beyond 2027.

This adds a cast to 'u8' for the year number, which should extend
the shelf life of the file system until 2155.

This makes the nfs client and server code use 'struct inode_time'
instead of 'struct timespec', to lift the time stamp limitation
on 32-bit systems. With NFS version 2 and 3, this means we can
represent years up until 2106 rather than 2038. With NFS version
4, the on-wire representation allows 64-bit seconds.

Ceph supports timestamps until year 2106 using u32 seconds on the
wire, but the kernel internally limits this to a signed value
that only works until 2038 on 32 bit CPUs.

This changes the type used in the ceph code to struct inode_time
to lift that limitation.

pstore uses timestamps encoded in a string as seconds, but on 32-bit systems
cannot go beyond year 2038 because of the limits of struct timespec.

This converts the pstore code to use the new struct inode_time for timestamps.

This converts the coda file system to use inode_time, which we will
need to fix the y2038 limit. However, inode time stamps in coda
are communicated to user space through coda_pioctl() as a 'struct
timespec', so this cannot be fixed for coda without changing the
user space interface.

xfs uses unsigned 32-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work
for the next 92 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in XFS.

btrfs uses unsigned 64-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work
basically forever, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in btrfs.

ext3fs uses unsigned 32-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work
for the next 92 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in ext3. The on-disk format limit is lifted in ext4,
which will work until 2514.

ext4fs uses unsigned 34-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work
for the next 500 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in ext4.

cifs uses multiple time formats for inode timestamps, which will work
at least another 92 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in cifs. After 2106, users of the old protocol versions
will have to move to the latest version.

ocfs2 uses unsigned 34-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work
for the next 500 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in ocfs2.

fat uses 7-bit year numbers for inode timestamps, which will work
for the next 93 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in fat.

afs uses an unsigned 32-bit seconds numbers for inode timestamps on the
wire, which will work for the next 92 years, but the code internally
uses a signed time_t, which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in afs, and changes the afs code to use an unsigned
number internally.

udf uses 16-bit year numbers for inode timestamps, which will work
for the 15000 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
and the Linux udf implementation internally uses a time_t, both of
which are only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in udf, but the implementation still depends on
the 'year_seconds' array that needs to be extended or replaced by
an algorithm that calculates the correct time for every year.

tty, usbgadgetfs, configfs and cramfs do not store inode timestamps
permanently, but they use code that interacts with the VFS inode
times. In order to change over VFS to a struct inode_time, we
have to make trivial changes to these file systems as well.

logfs uses 64-bit integers for inode timestamps, which will work
for the next 550 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in logfs.

hfs uses 32-bit integers based at 1904 for inode timestamps, which will
only work until 2040, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which expires even earlier in 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in logfs.

reiserfs uses unsigned 32-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work

which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

jffs2 uses unsigned 32-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work
for the next 92 years, but the VFS uses struct timespec for timestamps,
which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using
struct inode_time in jffs2.

adfs uses unsigned 40-bit seconds for inode timestamps, which will work

which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using

fuse uses 64-bit seconds for inode timestamps in the user interface,

for timestamps, which is only good until 2038 on 32-bit CPUs.

This gets us one small step closer to lifting the VFS limit by using

The fnic driver currently uses the CURRENT_TIME macro to
generate a timestamp. Since this is otherwise used only in
file system code and we want to change the type, it's
better for this driver to use the equivalent function that
continues to return a struct timespec.

After all file systems have been converted to use 'struct inode_time'
for timestamps, we can remove the compatibility definition for this
structure.

This patch picks the first of the three variants I defined, but we
could pick one of the others as well.

This gets really messy for structures where this is ABI-dependent.  I'm

So it seems that it is not just POSIX that is drain bramaged with this,
but the "long" type for tv_nsec idiocy has made it into the C11
standard.  This unfortunately means that now there are two standards
bodies involved, at least one of which moves very slowly.

This makes me wonder if we don't need to deal with the problem in the
case of 32-bit ABIs with 64-bit time_t.  The logical thing seems to be
to EITHER:

a. ALWAYS ignore the upper 32 bits of tv_nsec when read from user space,
   but always set them to zero, or
b. Only ignore the upper 32 bits of tv_nsec when we are known to come
   from a 32-bit ABI context, but still always return zero.  These bits
   are already only used for validity checking.

   This most likely introduces a whole lot of new tests in deep paths,
   although we probably can centralize this in a single function, which
   otherwise ends up looking a lot like compat_get_timespec().

Getting rid of struct timespec on the kernel/user boundary is probably
not really feasible.

The problem I see here is that the code is now potentially stuffing
a variable that is larger than 32 bits into on on-disk structure
that is only 32 bits in size.  You can't just change the in-memory
representation of inode timestamps and expect the problem to be
fixed - this just pushes the problem down a layer without any
intrastructure allowing filesystems to handle storage of the new
timestamp format sanely.

IOWs, the filesystem has to be able to reject any attempt to set a
timestamp that is can't represent on disk otherwise Bad Stuff will
happen, and filesystems have to be able to specify in their on
disk format what timestamp encoding is being used. The solution will
be different for every filesystem that needs to support time beyond
2038.

Hence I think you are going to need superblock flags and/or
variables to indicate the epoch range the fielsystem can support.
Then the fileystems need conversion functions from whatever the
internal VFS timestamp representation is to whatever their on-disk
format is, and only then can we switch the VFS to using a new
timestamp format.

At that point, filesystem developers can make the changes they need
to the on-disk format to support timestamps beyond 2038, and all
they need to do at the VFS layer is set the "supported range" fields
appropriately in the VFS superblock...

Cheers,

Dave.

Actually it is questionable if it is worse to reject a timestamp or just
let it wrap.  Rejecting a valid timestamp is a bit like "You don't
exist, go away."

Actually the cutoff can be really different for each filesystem, not
necessarily 2038.  However, I maintain the above still holds.

Consider a filesystem that kept timestamps in YYMMDDHHMMSS format.  What
would you have expected such a filesystem to do on Jan 1, 2000?

I think having the new systems calls being able to
return EINVAL if the value cannot be stored permanently on disk
correctly is the right thing to do. Having it silently mangled
by the filesystem and returning "everything is just fine, trust me"
is close to the worst solution I can think of. That's exactly what
leads to overflow bugs occurring....

Sure, but all filesystems are supposed to handle at least the
current unix epoch.

Strawman.

We don't need to cater for fundamentally broken designs that can't
even handle the current unix epoch correctly. If such filesystems
exist, then they can simple say "original unix epoch support only"
and do whatever crap they are doing right now.

Cheers,

Dave.

No, not a strawman.  Replace with Jan 26, 2038 and you have the same situation.

But that's not the problem I'm talking about.  The problem isn't the
roll-over date of the epoch - the problem is that we're changing the
in-memory meaning of time without changing what the filesystems
store on disk or how they translate them.

To use your example, what I'm actually talking about is the kernel
switching to CCYYMMDDHHMMSS while the filesystem has YYMMDDHHMMSS on
disk. The filesystem doesn't know the timestamp is now a different
format, so it could mangle it writing it to disk, or it could mangle
existing timestamps in the YY.. format reading them from disk and
putting them into CC.. format structures. IOWs, it will
incorrectly translate YY  format dates to CC format, or translate
something in the CC format as though it was in YY format. And it
wouldn't even know what was the correct format because there's
nothing telling it on disk whether the date is in CC or YY format.

Either way, you get mangled timestamps, the filesystem doesn't know
about it because it's just storing what the kernel gives it, the
kernel thinks they are fine because they are just opaque when read
back, but the user says "what the fuck did a reboot do to all these
timestamps?".

Hence your example of roll-over dates is a strawman - you've
constructed a problem that is irrelevant to the issue being pointed
out.

FWIW, we already have code in the superblock and VFS to avoid such
problems on filesystems with limited timestamp resolution (i.e
s_time_gran and current_fs_time()) so that what the VFS hands the
filesystem is exactly what the VFS expects to get back from disk
when comparing timestamps.

If we are changing the in-kernel timestamp to have a greater dynamic
range that anything we current support on disk, then we need support
for all filesystems for similar translation and constraint. The
filesystems need to be able to tell the kernel what they timestamp
range they support, and then the kernel needs to follow those
guidelines. And if the filesystem is mounted on a kernel that
doesn't support the current filesystem's timestamp format, then at
minimum that filesystem cannot do anything that writes a
timestamp....

Put simply: the filesystem defines the timestamp range that can be
used safely, not the userspace API. If the filesystem can't support
the date it is handed then that is an out-of-range error. Since
when have we accepted that it's OK to handle out-of-range data with
silent overflows or corruption of the data that we are attempting to
store? We're defining a new API to support a wider date range -
there is nothing that prevents us from saying ERANGE can be returned
to a timestamp that the file cannot store correctly....

Cheers,

Dave.

Don't you need 31 bits for tv_nsec, to accommodate for the sign bit?
I know you won't really store negative numbers there, but storing a large
positive number will become negative on read out, won't it?

Oops, the CD archive of my scanned Napoleon manuscripts no longer has the
right file date? ;-)

Are there any practical uses of representating dates between 1772 and 1900
on CD/DVD?

Only if the int bitfield is signed.  Bitfields are weird, aren't they? :-)

I'm still puzzled.

Are you saying that you want a program that does:

	/* Deliberately simplified */
	gettimeofdayns(&now ...);
	utimensat(... now);

... to suddenly start failing on Jan 19, 2038 (for a filesystem with
32-bit timestamps), or would you propose some ways for the filesystems
in question to extend the range of the timestamps?

What you seem to propose also seems to imply that on Jan 19, 2038
anything that writes a timestamp with the current date (which logically
ends up being almost every write operation) would be dead and frozen on
such a filesystem -- pretty much meaning the filesystem would become
readonly if not in reality than in practice.

I strongly suspect that that would be a more catastrophic failure than
incorrect timestamps, as you suddenly have all kinds of machines
embedded in $DEITY knows what places just stop and refuse to run.

If that is not what you mean I genuinely like to understand the
situation better.

Unlikely, furthermore, the spec explicitly states that the number is
unsigned (ref: ECMA-119, 2nd ed, 9.1.5 which specifies that the numbers
are "recorded according to 7.1.1"; 7.1.1 specifies "8-bit unsigned
numerical values").

This now differs between 32- and 64-bit systems, and on 32-bit systems
some timestamps well within the range of representation of current
systems just became unrepresentable, which is something that I thought
people were objecting very strongly to.

Seriously, though, can we really impose constraints stricter than what
the filesystems themselves do?  It seems we ought to be able to
represent whatever time the filesystem can represent... (modulo some
kind of window control as Y2038 or any other break point approaches.)

This may be what the spec says, but when I experimented with this just
now it does seem that both ext2 and ext3 actually interpret timestamps
as *signed* 32-bit seconds.

All existing syscall names have the 64 suffix last, including the *at
variants, so sys_utimensat64 would be more in line.

"int" is signed, right? Or do you mean a bitfield needs an explicit "signed"
keyword to be signed?

I think you meant hfs/hfsplus here. I suppose that mentioning the logfs

Right, I can see that in ext3_iget() now:

        inode->i_atime.tv_sec = (signed)le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_atime);

I may have just looked at ext3_do_update_inode(), which uses this
unsigned conversion:

	raw_inode->i_ctime = cpu_to_le32(inode->i_ctime.tv_sec);

and didn't realize that this is only half of the story, and since it
converts from (potentially 64-bit) long to u32, it doesn't matter
whether that is signed or unsigned.

I may have to go through all of them again to see if I made the same
mistake in other file systems as well.

Why are some of the time stamp expiration dates marked as "never"?

It really depends on the file system. As you pointed out, I was reading
the ext2/ext3 and xfs code incorrectly, so my assumption when I wrote this
was that they already used the same type, with a 1970-2106 window, rather
than the regular signed Unix epoch.

Just to make sure, do you say we should be using the 'long long/int'
struct, or something else?

It was a mistake on my side, as I didn't know about that rule and
meant write 'unsigned int' really. Also, I always have a bad feeling
about using bitfields in general.

Ok, makes sense. I actually typed utimensat64 a few times myself and

We could have an extra '__kernel_oldtimespec' type that we can
use for all ABIs that are today defined in terms of timespec.

What I was mostly trying to avoid here is leaving any 'struct timespec'
in header files, because glibc may define that type differently
depending on a __TIME_BITS macro. This is more of a problem for
ioctls than for system calls.

My feeling is that our best hope is to completely isolate the kernel
interfaces from what user space wants to have as time_t. glibc for
instance may have a different idea about standards compliance than
android or klibc.

My approach was based on the discussion with Joseph, who would like glibc
to support both 32 and 64 bit time_t using the same libc binary and 
versioned symbols. I don't see how that could work when you build a
user space program that sees a timespec in kernel headers and tries
to pass that into a non-translated kernel interface (e.g. ioctl) but
use the same timespec for a glibc-provided function like gettimeofday().

It's an approximation:
with 64-bit timestamps, you can represent close to 300 billion
years, which is way past the time that our planet can sustain
life of any form[1].

While going through the file systems, I was wondering whether

In my list at http://kernelnewbies.org/y2038, I found that almost
all file systems at least times until 2106, because they treat
the on-disk value as unsigned on 64-bit systems, or they use
a completely different representation. My guess is that somebody
earlier spent a lot of work on making that happen.

The exceptions are:

* exofs uses signed values, which can probably be changed to be
  consistent with the others.
* isofs has a bug that limits it until 2027 on architectures with
  a signed 'char' type (otherwise it's 2155).
* udf can represent times for many thousands of years through a
  16-bit year representation, but the code to convert to epoch
  uses a const array that ends at 2038.
* afs uses signed seconds and can probably be fixed
* coda relies on user space time representation getting passed
  through an ioctl.
* I miscategorized xfs/ext2/ext3 as having unsigned 32-bit seconds,
  where they really use signed.

I was confused about XFS since I didn't noticed that there are
separate xfs_ictimestamp_t and xfs_timestamp_t types, so I expected
XFS to also use the 1970-2106 time range on 64-bit systems today.

If we are using the variant of my patch that extends
indode_time->tv_sec to s64, nothing should change for XFS
at all, the main difference is that we if it gets extended
to wider on-disk timestamps, they will work the same way on
32-bit and 64-bit kernels.

For those (legacy) filesystems with a signed 32-bit timestamps, any 
attempt to create a timestamp past Jan 19 03:14:06 2038 UTC should be 
(silently) clamped to 0x7fffffff and that value (the last representable 
time) used as an overflow indicator.  The filesystem driver should 
convert that value into a corresponding overflow value for whatever 
kernel internal time representation being used when read back, and this 
should be propagated up to user space.  It should not be a hard error 
otherwise, as you rightfully stated, everything non read-only would come 
to a halt on that day.

Inside the kernel, the overflow indicator could be as simple as 
dedicating one of the top bit in a 64-bit time_t value in order to still 
transmit the overflow limit.  For example, in the above case, we could 
use 0x40000000-7fffffff to indicate the actual time is unavailable due 
to the filesystem's time representation being overflowed from 
0x7fffffff.

If for example a filesystem cannot represent timestamps from Jan  1 
00:00:00 2100 UTC then the overflow representation for this particular 
filesystem would be 0x40000000-f48656ff.

Those syscalls with a 32-bit time_t would be returned 0x7fffffff 
whenever there is an overflow being signaled.  Whether 64-bit 
overflow-marked time_t values, when passed to user space, should clear 
the overflow bit, or use a unique time_t overflow value, could be 
decided and even changed later after discussion with glibc people for 
example.

Hard errors should be signaled to user space, and the actual operation 
aborted, only with the presence of a new flag passed to the kernel.  
However, by default, things should "just work" albeit with the "wrong" 
i.e clamped time being saved on disk as much as possible otherwise.

IC, but the comment said "plus it keeps the signedness".
So it doesn't keep the signedness for the tv_nsec field.

Did you mean mean 64 bits worth of seconds?

  2^64 / (3600*24*365) = 584,942,417,355

That is more than 300 billion years, and still, it is not quite the
same as "never".

In any case, that term is not too helpful in the comparison table,
IMHO. One could think that some sort of clever running count relative
to the last mount time was implied.

Typically they are using 64-bit signed seconds.

You've missed an awful lot more than just the implications for the
core kernel code.

There's a good chance such changes propagate to APIs elsewhere in
the filesystems, because something you haven't realised is that XFS
effectively exposes the on-disk timestamp format directly to
userspace via the bulkstat interface (see struct xfs_bstat). It also
affects the XFS open-by-handle ioctl and the swap extent ioctl used
by the online defragmenter.

IOWs, if we are changing the on-disk timestamp format then this
affects several ioctl()s and hence quite a few of the XFS userspace
utilities. The hardest to fix will be xfsdump which would need a new
dump format to store the extended timestamp ranges, and then
xfs_restore will need to be able to handle restoring such timestamps
on filesystems that don't have extended timestamp support...

Put simply, changing the structure of system time isn't as straight
forward as changing the kernel structures. System time gets stored
permanently, and that has a cascade effect through the kernel all
to all of the filesystem utilities that know about that permanent
storage in some way....

So yes, you can change the kernel definition, but until the
permanent storage of system time can be extended to support the same
range as the kernel the *system* will still have nasty, silent epoch
overflow, truncation or corruption issues.

"nothing should change" except for the fact that a 64 bit timestamp
gets silently truncated to 32 bits and the timestamp is not what the
user expects it to be. The user does not find out until the inode
passes out of cache and is re-read from disk, and then it's wrong.

To put it politely: that is broken, obnoxious behaviour and we don't
design new interfaces with such ugly warts anymore. Define an
EOVERFLOW, EINVAL or ERANGE error in the new syscalls to handle this
case and *hard fail* if the storage cannot support the extended
timestamp being passed in. There is no excuse for silently mangling
out-of-range data, especially as we have plenty of time to add
support to the filesystems so that such errors don't occur. It might
take us a year to implement, but it will be done long before the
epoch overflows.

And, FWIW, this patchset needs a set of regression tests that ensure
timestamps beyond 2038 and 2106 don't change across unmount/mount.
Written for xfstests, preferably, so that it's run as part of every
filesystem developer's daily workflow. This is the only way we are
going to ensure that the filesystem and VFS code works correctly and
continues to work correctly up to the end of the current epoch....

Cheers,

Dave.

Yes. Hard fail so overflows are in your face and we know exactly

Filesystems are going to have to change their on-disk formats, so
we'd do that just like we do every other on-disk format change. With
feature bits and translation layers, new ioctl structures, etc.
Depending on the amount of work necessary, some filesystems could do
this in 3.16, others it might be 3.20 before everything is sorted
out across the kernel and userspace code...

Either way, the hard fail problem goes away as each filesystem is
converted. Further, if we have regression tests then new filesystems
are guaranteed to be designed to handle 2038 epoch rollover, and so
in a year of two this "hard fail" is effectively a non-problem. If
someone breaks something in future, then we'll know about it pretty
quickly.

Yup. If we can't do what the user wants without the user thinking
corruption has occurred, then the only thing we are left with is
"shut down the filesystem" error handling. Kind of like using BUG()
rather than returning an error. That's why we need to be able to
hard fail and return an error.

However, we've got 20+ years to fix our current filesystems and all
their support code to ensure this doesn't happen. In the mean time,
having stuff hard fail is a great way to ensure that filesystems get
fixed sooner rather than later...

Yup, that's a great way of flushing out problems 20 years before
they really matter.

Cheers,

Dave.

Also, the term "never" might mean using arbitrarily long integers

I don't think there is much of a difference between not being able to
write at all and all newly written files having the same timestamp,
causing random things to break differently.

The clamp to the maximum supported time stamp sounds like a reasonable
choice for 'utimens' and related syscalls for the case of someone
setting an arbitrary future date beyond what the file system can
represent. Then again, I don't see a reason why that shouldn't just
cause an error to be returned.

For actually running kernels beyond 2038, the best idea I've seen so
far is to disallow all broken code at compile time. I don't see
a choice but to audit the entire kernel for invalid uses on both
32 and 64 bit in the next few years. A lot of code will get changed
in the process so we can actually keep running 32-bit kernels and
file systems, but other code will likely go away:

* any system calls that pass a time_t, timeval or timespec on
  32-bit systems return -ENOSYS, to ensure all user land uses
  the replacements we will put into place
* The definition of 'time_t', 'timval' and 'timespec' can be hidden
  from the kernel, and all code using it left out.
* ext2 and ext3 file system code will have to be disabled, but that's
  file since ext4 can mount old file systems.
* until xfs gets extended, we can also disiable it at build time.

For most users, we probably want to leave all that enabled by
default until we get much closer to 2038, but a compile time
option should allow us to test what works or doesn't, and it
can be set by embedded developers that want to ensure their
code keeps running for the next few decades.

Perhaps we should make this a kernel command line option instead, with the settings: error out on outside the standard window, or a date indicating the earliest date that should be recognized and do windowing (0 for no windowing, 1970 for retconning the Unix epoch as unsigned...)

But again, the kernel is probably the least problem here...

Just to put that in context, here's the kernel patch to add extended
epoch support to XFS. It's completely untested as I haven't done any
userspace code changes to enable the feature. However, it should
give you an indication of how far the simple act of changing the
kernel time representation spread through the filesystem. This does
not include any of the VFS infrastructure to specifying the range of
supported timestamps.  It survives some smoke testing, but dies when
the online defragmenter starts using the bulkstat and swap extent
ioctls (the assert in xfs_inode_time_from_epoch() fires), so I
probably don't have that all sorted correctly yet...

To test extended epoch support, however, I need to some fstests that
define and validate the behaviour of the new syscalls - until we get
those we can't validate that the filesystem follows the spec
properly. I also suspect we are going to need an interface to query
the supported range of timestamps from a filesystem so that we can
test boundary conditions in an automated fashion....

Cheers,

Dave.

xfs: support timestamps beyond Unix epochs

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

The 32 bit second counters in timestamps are too small to represent
time beyond the unix epoch (jan 2038) correctly. Extend the on-disk
format for a timestamp to include an 8-bit epoch counter so that we
can extend time for up to 255 Unix epochs. This should be good for
representing timestamps from 1970 to somewhere around 19,000 A.D....

Well, in one case you have a crash certitude. In the other case you have 
some probability that your system might still be usable.

Resiliance is better than outright failure.

Syscalls and libs can be "fixed".  Existing filesystem content might 
not.  So if you need to mount some old media in read-write mode after 
2038 and that happens to content an ext2 or similarly limited filesystem 
then it'd better just "work".  Having the kernel refuse to modify the 
filesystem would be unacceptable.

We can already tell the VFS/filesystems not to update timestamps:

	inode->i_flags |= S_NOATIME | S_NOCMTIME;

Just enforce that everywhere (i.e. notify_change()) rather than just
on the IO path and the "legacy filesystem timestamp" problem is
"solved".

New interfaces need to return errors when an out-of-range parameter
is set. And right now, >epoch dates are out of range for most
filesystems, and so we need to handle that condition appropriately.
Silent date overflow == filesystem corruption, and as such I'm going
to error out such conditions in the filesystem regardless of what
the userspace API says.

Filesystems place all sorts of userspace visible limits on storage -
ever tried to create a file >16TB on ext4? The on-disk format
doesn't support it, so it returns an out of range error (E2BIG, I
think) if you try. XFS, OTOH, handles this just fine and so it
continues to work. It's exactly the same with timestamps - there's a
physical limit to what can sanely be stored in any given filesystem
and it's an *error condition* to go beyond that limit....

Cheers,

Dave.

This comparison doesn't fly.
File sizes do not depend on the current time (except for the increase of
megapixels in your new camera ;-).
Writing a 15 GiB file to ext4 is not something that magically stops working
tomorrow.

I think you misunderstood what I suggested: the intent is to avoid
seeing things break in 2038 by making them break much earlier. We have
a solution for ext2 file systems, it's called ext4, and we just need
to ensure that everybody knows they have to migrate eventually.

At some point before the mid 2030ies, you should no longer be able to
build a kernel that has support for ext2 or any other module that will
run into bugs later. Until then (rather sooner than later), I'd like
to get to the point where you can choose whether to include those
modules at build time or not, and then get everybody to turn off that
option and fix the bugs they run into. You wouldn't need that for a
2014-generation long-term support disto (rhel 7, sles 12, debian 7,
ubuntu 14.04, ...), but perhaps for the next generation, or the
one after that.

What's wrong with compile-time errors? We have a pretty good understanding
of how time values are passed in the kernel, and we know they will all break
in 2038 for 32-bit kernels unless we do something about it.

I agree the glibc side is harder than this, but we have to get the kernel
into shape first (at the minimum we have to do the APIs), and there is enough
work to do here.

I assume you're using an 'epoch' variable and not simply using the
padding byte as an eight-bit prefix to the existing 32-bit counter
because the existing counter is signed ?

For long term sanity it might make more sense for the eight-bit value to
be a simple (sign-extended) prefix from 1970.

So if the feature bit is set it's a 40-bit signed time, which is good
for 1970 +/- 17400 years or so.

I really didn't look at them at all, as ioctl is very late on my
mental list of things to change. I do realize that a lot of drivers
and file systems do have ioctls that pass time values and we need to
address them one by one.

I just looked at the ioctls you mentioned but don't see how open-by-handle
is affected by this. Can you point me to what you mean?

Thanks a lot for having an initial look at this yourself!

I'd still consider the two problems largely orthogonal. My patch set
(at least with the 64-bit tv_sec) just gets 32-bit kernels to behave
more like 64-bit kernels regarding inode time stamps, which does
impact all the file systems that the a 64-bit time or the NFS
unsigned epoch (1970-2106), while your patch extends the file
system internal epoch (1901-2038 for XFS) so it can be used by
anything that knows how to handle larger than 32-bit second values
(either 64-bit kernel or 32-bit with inode_time patch).

Why don't you already implement epoch conversion for 64-bit kernels that
are able to represent the time today? This is how ext4 does it (I mean
the sizeof() trick, not the bit stuffing they do):

static inline __le32 ext4_encode_extra_time(struct inode_time *time)
{
       return cpu_to_le32((sizeof(time->tv_sec) > 4 ?
                           (time->tv_sec >> 32) & EXT4_EPOCH_MASK : 0) |
                          ((time->tv_nsec << EXT4_EPOCH_BITS) & EXT4_NSEC_MASK));
}

static inline void ext4_decode_extra_time(struct inode_time *time, __le32 extra)
{
       if (sizeof(time->tv_sec) > 4)
               time->tv_sec |= (__u64)(le32_to_cpu(extra) & EXT4_EPOCH_MASK)
                               << 32;
       time->tv_nsec = (le32_to_cpu(extra) & EXT4_NSEC_MASK) >> EXT4_EPOCH_BITS;
}

I guess if there is general agreement on introducing 'struct inode_time',
we can skip that intermediate step.

How does this flag get set? Do you have to manually change it in the
superblock? Since most of the time I'd suspect you wouldn't actually
use it for the foreseeable future, would it make sense to have a mount
option that allows it to be set, but doesn't actually change the
superblock until the first inode gets written with a nonzero epoch?

That way, you'd still be able to mount it with an older kernel but
also be forward compatible with time moving on.

Even for ext4, it's not quite so simple as that.  You only have
support for times post 2038 if you are using an inode size > 128
bytes.  There are a very, very large number of machines which even
today, are using 128 byte inodes with ext4 for performance reasons.

The vast majority of those machines which I know of can probably move
to 256 byte inodes relatively easily, since hard drive replacement
cycles are order 5-6 years tops, so I'm not that concerned, but it
just goes to show this is a very complicated problem.

And even if we're talking about flash and embedded devices, the good
news is if you assume that 10 years is enough time for people to
update their embedded OS builds, and that the vast majority of
deployed devices will probably only be in service for 10-15 years, we
do have enough time to make file system format changes, although
admittedly we can't afford to dilly-dally.

Ok, I see.

I also now noticed this comment above EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE():

"For new inodes we always reserve enough space for the kernel's known
extended fields, but for inodes created with an old kernel this might
not have been the case. None of the extended inode fields is critical
for correct filesystem operation."

Do we have to worry about this for inodes that contain extended
attributes and that get updated after 2038?

One stupid question about the current code:

static inline void ext4_decode_extra_time(struct inode_time *time, __le32 extra)
{                               
       if (sizeof(time->tv_sec) > 4)
               time->tv_sec |= (__u64)(le32_to_cpu(extra) & EXT4_EPOCH_MASK)
                               << 32;
       time->tv_nsec = (le32_to_cpu(extra) & EXT4_NSEC_MASK) >> EXT4_EPOCH_BITS;
}       

#define EXT4_EINODE_GET_XTIME(xtime, einode, raw_inode)                        \
do {                                                                           \
        if (EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE(raw_inode, einode, xtime))                      \
                (einode)->xtime.tv_sec =                                       \
                        (signed)le32_to_cpu((raw_inode)->xtime);               \
        else                                                                   \
                (einode)->xtime.tv_sec = 0;                                    \
        if (EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE(raw_inode, einode, xtime ## _extra))            \
                ext4_decode_extra_time(&(einode)->xtime,                       \
                                       raw_inode->xtime ## _extra);            \
        else                                                                   \
                (einode)->xtime.tv_nsec = 0;                                   \
} while (0)

For a time between 2038 and 2106, this looks like xtime.tv_sec is
negative when ext4_decode_extra_time gets called, so the '|=' operator
doesn't actually do anything. Shouldn't that be '+='?

Yes, there are some ongoing dicussions about changing the post-2038
encoding of the timestamp in ext4, which is why this hasn't been fixed
yet.  The main thing that's been missing is time for me to review the
patches, and a good way of writing regression tests that will work (or
at least not fail) on build environments with a 32-bit time_t and
32-bit-only capable versions of functions such as gmtime(3).

And given current discussions, I may want to think about some kind of
superblock flag to allow the use of a 32-bit unsigned encoding for
file systems using a 128-byte inode, with a way of setting that flag
after scanning the file system to make sure there are no times that
are previous to January 1, 1970.  (Or more generally, allow any epoch
to be defined using a 64-bit time_t offset stored in the superblock...)

Cheers,

In practice, the extended timestamps was one of the first things added
to ext4, so the vast majority of ext4 file systems with inode sizes >
128 bytes will have room for the extended timestamps.  There are some
legacy ext3 file systems with 256-byte inodes (enabled for fast
sotrage of SELinux xattrs) that in theory, could have been converted
to ext4 and had enough xattrs so that the extended timestamps couldn't
be added.  That would be a vanishingly small use case, and in
practice, it's not likely to be the case for the embedded market.

I could imagine someone worrying about file systems originally
formatted using RHEL 4 post-2038 (perhaps running in a VM), but I
don't work for IBM any more, and hopefully even IBM would just tell
such customers that they need to suck it up, and do a
backup/reformat/restore pass.

The syscall changes seem like the sort of thing I'd expect, although 
patches adding new syscalls or otherwise affecting the kernel/userspace 
interface (as opposed to those relating to an individual filesystem) 
should go to linux-api as well as other relevant lists.

I don't see anything new about this issue.  All problems that could arise 
from the kernel being able to represent a timestamp some filesystems can't 
are problems that already apply with 64-bit kernels using 64-bit time_t 
internally.  So while as part of Y2038-preparedness we do need a clear 
understanding of which filesystems have what timestamp limits and what 
happens with timestamps beyond those limits, I think this is a separate 
strand of the problem - one that applies to both 32-bit and 64-bit systems 
- from the more general issue for 32-bit systems.

I have a number of file systems older than any device they are sitting on.  RAID allows individual disks to be swapped out, and when all disks have been swapped out, extend the file system online.  The system doesn't even have to be taken offline in the process if it is possible to physically get to the drives with the system powered (e.g. hot plug bays), which is really damned nice.

FWIW, I've gone through the other file system implementations once
more. The most common pattern I've encountered is to have a read_inode
function with

	inode->i_mtime = le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->mtime);

which results in interpreting the time as 'signed' on 32-bit
kernels, but as 'unsigned' on 64-bit kernels. This could have been
done intentionally to extend the valid time range to 2106 on 64-bit
kernels, but it seems more likely that the code was written with
no thought given to 64-bit time_t at all. I see this pattern on
p9fs (old protocol only), afs, bfs, ceph, efs, freevxfs, hpfs, jffs2,
jfs, minix, nfsv2/v3 (this was clearly intentional and is
spelled out in the RFC), qnx4, qnx6, reiserfs, squashfs, sysv,
and ufs (protocol version 1 only).

The other behavior I see is to treat the on-disk 32-bit value
as signed on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels:

	inode->i_mtime = (signed)le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->mtime);

this seems to be done intentionally in all cases, to maintain
compatibility between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels, but it's
relatively rare: exofs, ext2/3/4 (good old inodes) and xfs
are the only ones doing this.

In case of ext2/3/4, the sign handlign was introduced here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg01758.html

exofs and xfs seem to have done it like this for all of git
history.

I’m wondering what should be done about NFS. A solution for NFS should
match any scheme that is considered for local file systems, IMO.

NFSv2/3 timestamps are a pair of unsigned 32-bit values: one value for
seconds since midnight GMT Jan 1, 1970, and one value for nanoseconds.
(See the definition of nfstime3 in RFC 1813).

NFSv4 uses a signed 64-bit value where zero represents midnight UTC
on January 1, 1970, and an unsigned 32-bit value for nanoseconds. (See
the definition of nfstime4 in RFC 5661).

The NFSv4 protocol is probably not problematic, and NFSv3 should be out
of the picture by 2038. But if changes are planned for dealing _now_
with timestamp issues, compatibility with NFSv3 is a consideration.

It is already the case that, via NFSv3, the Linux NFS client transmits
timestamps earlier than 1970 as large positive numbers. Try this with
xfstests generic/258.

Maybe nfs3_proc_setattr() should recognize pre-epoch timestamps and
timestamps larger than can be represented in an unsigned 32-bit field
and return an immediate error to the requesting application (like EINVAL).

If the Linux NFS server encounters a local file with a timestamp that
cannot be represented via a u32, should it also return NFS3ERR_INVAL?

RFC 1813 does not provide guidance on the behavior nor does it suggest
a particular error status code. The Solaris 11 server appears to return
NFS3ERR_INVAL in this case.

An alternative would be to “cap” the timestamps transmitted via NFSv3 by
Linux, so that a pre-epoch timestamp is transmitted as zero, and a large
timestamp is transmitted as UINT_MAX.

I wonder if it would make sense to try to promulgate via the Austin
group, and possibly the C standards committee the concept of a bit
pattern (that might commonly be INT_MAX or UINT_MAX) that means "time
unknown", or "time indefinite" or "we couldn't encode the time".

We would then teach gmtime(3) and asctime(3) to print some appropriate
message, and we could teach programs like find (with the -mtime)
option, make, tmpwatch, et. al., that they can't make any presumption
about the comparibility of any timestamp which has a value of
TIME_UNDEFINIED.

It would be problematic for time(2) or gettimeofday(2) to return
TIME_UNDEFINED, since there are programs that care about time ticking
forward, but I could imagine a new interface which would be permitted
to return a flag indicating that we don't know the current time
(because the CMOS battery had run down, etc.) so instead we're going
to be counting the number of seconds since the system was booted.

(time_t)-1 already has this meaning for some calls (e.g. time(2)).
However, this also means Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 UTC 1969, and unfortunately
something similar applies to all possible bit patterns, certainly within
the range of an int.

This assumes that we actually know that that is the case, which may be
an aggressive assumption.

Worse than Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 UTC 1969, on NFSv3 it also means
"Sun Feb  7 07:28:15 CET 2106", and that is much harder to distinguish
from a real future date.

If we had the choice, I'd go for something like 1, i.e.
"Thu Jan  1 01:00:01 CET 1970".

It's harder for time(2), but for the inode case, we can definitely
detect when the file system specific representation overflows
or underflows, which may be be at a number of very different points
of time.

If I read the code correctly, a pre-1970 timestamp will be sent as
a large unsigned integer, but received as a post-2038 timestamp on
64-bit kernels, both in the nfs client and server code.

This behavior is clearly wrong, but it's the same bug that we have
in lots of other file systems, and it makes sense to have the
same fix everywhere, at lease the cases where we know what interpretation
we actually want. NFS has the luxury of having an actual specification
saying that the value is unsigned. For most of the legacy file systems,
we can only make a guess at how other OSs would interpret the same
numbers.

nfstime3 could be extended by redefining the otherwise unused
nanoseconds bits{31,30} as seconds{33,32}, to give a (signed) 34-bit
seconds field and an unsigned 30-bit nanoseconds field.

This could represent 1970 +/- 272 years.

Servers could indicate they can understand the extended time format by
adding a new FSINFO capability - FSF3_CANSETTIME_EX.

Clients would use a new SET_TO_CLIENT_TIME_EX time_how enum when sending
timestamps so old servers would be protected from new clients.

Old clients don't need to be protected from new servers because the
on-the-wire bit pattern for dates between 1970 and 2106 stays the same,
so they're no worse off than they were before.

Arguably the new server ought to clamp out-of-range timestamps before
sending them to old clients but that would need per-client state (and
nfs3 is stateless.)

You would have to get the IETF’s NFSv4 working group to sign off on
this change. Otherwise, Linux would be the only NFSv3 implementation
that supports the extension.

But I suspect the answer you’d get is “Use NFSv4.”

There’s no reliable way in NFSv3 for clients and servers to identify
the software running on the peer.

Practically speaking, you should assume that the NFSv3 protocol is never
going to change.

While I've never dealt with an NFS standardization, I'd assume this is
a workable answer. The NFSv2 and NFSv3 definition clearly defines a valid
range of times until 2106 using unsigned seconds, and that should really
give enough time to migrate to something better (not necessarily NFSv4).

Ok. Sorry about missing linux-api, I confused it with linux-arch, which
may not be as relevant here, except for the one question whether we
actually want to have the new ABI on all 32-bit architectures or only
as an opt-in for those that expect to stay around for another 24 years.

Two more questions for you:

- are you (and others) happy with adding this type of stat syscall
  (fstatat64/fstat64) as opposed to the more generic xstat that has
  been discussed in the past and that never made it through the bike-
  shedding discussion?

- once we have enough buy-in from reviewers to merge this initial
  series, should we proceed to define rest of the syscall ABI
  (minus driver ioctls) so glibc and kernel can do the conversion
  on top of that, or should we better try to do things one syscall
  family at a time and actually get the kernel to handle them
  correctly internally?

The bit that is really going to hurt is every single ioctl that uses a
timespec.

Honestly, though, I really don't understand the point with "struct
inode_time".  It seems like the zeroeth-order thing is to change the
kernel internal version of struct timespec to have a 64-bit time... it
isn't just about inodes.  We then should be explicit about the external
uses of time, and use accessors.

I picked these because they are fairly isolated from all other uses,
in particular since inode times are the only things where we really
care about times in the distant past or future (decades away as opposed
to things that happened between boot and shutdown).

For other kernel-internal uses, we may be better off migrating to
a completely different representation, such as nanoseconds since
boot or the architecture specific ktime_t, but this is really something
to decide for each subsystem.

I just tried building an arm32 kernel with a s64 time_t, and that
failed horribly, I get linker errors for missing 64-bit divides
and lots of warnings for code that expects time_t pointers to
functions taking a 'long' or vice versa. I also think the only
way to maintain ABI compatibility is to separate the internal uses
from the interface, which means auditing all code in the end.

For glibc I think it will make the most sense to add the support for 
64-bit time_t across all architectures that currently have 32-bit time_t 
(with the new interfaces having fallback support to implementation in 
terms of the 32-bit kernel interfaces, if the 64-bit syscalls are 
unavailable either at runtime or in the kernel headers against which glibc 
is compiled - this fallback code will of course need to check for overflow 
when passing a time value to the kernel, hopefully with error handling 
consistent with whatever the kernel ends up doing when a filesystem can't 
support a timestamp).  If some architectures don't provide the new 
interfaces in the kernel then that will mean the fallback code in glibc 
can't be removed until glibc support for those architectures is removed 
(as opposed to removing it when glibc no longer supports kernels predating 
the kernel support).

I don't have any comments on that ordering question.

If nothing else, I would expect to be able to set the system time to
weird values for testing.  So I'm not so sure I agree with that...

Having a bunch of different time representations in the kernel seems
like a real headache...

We won't know if the RTC clock is wrong, true --- but the kernel will
know if (a) the hardware doesn't have RTC clock at all, or if (b) the
RTC clock is ticking some time that can't be encoded using the current
time_t type.  So in that case, the fallback would be to be for the
kernel to tick starting with time_t == 0 when the system is initially
booted, and the "time indefinite flag" would be set.

Now assume that we have a new system call, gettimestampofday(2), which
returns a new timestamp structure which has a 64-bit ts_sec field, the
ts_nsec field (ala struct timespec), and a ts_flags field, where the
kernel could signal things like "time invalid", or "time can't be
encoded in the legacy time_t type", or "I'm not sure if the time is
correct" --- i.e., because the RTC battery isn't working.

Not all hardware might be able to support the last, of course, but if
the battery is low, or the system has been exposed to very low
temperatures (or large amounts of cosmic radiation, etc.)  the RTC
time may just be plain wrong.  No system is going to be perfect, but
it should be possible to make htings better, at for certain classes of
hardware.

And since we are already returning (time_t) -1 in some cases, we might
as well try to make things a bit more formal.

Linux's time(2) can return (time_t) -1 and set errno to EFAULT, per
the Posix specification:

SYSCALL_DEFINE1(time, time_t __user *, tloc)
{
	time_t i = get_seconds();

	if (tloc) {
		if (put_user(i,tloc))
			return -EFAULT;
	}
	force_successful_syscall_return();
	return i;
}

OK, I guess I should have said... other than for -EFAULT.

I just don't know of anyone using time(2) with an argument other than NULL.

Sorry, I misremembered how some of the XFS open-by-handle code works
in userspace (XFS has a pretty rich open-by-handle ioctl() interface
that predates the kernel syscalls by at least 10 years).  Basically
there is code in userspace that uses the information returned from
bulkstat to construct file handles to pass to the open-by-handle
ioctls. xfs_fsr then uses the combination of open-by-handle from the
bulkstat output and the bulkstat output to feed into the swap extent
ioctls....

i.e. the filesystem's idea of what time is is passed to userspace as
an opaque cookie in this case, but it is not used directly by the
open-by-handle interfaces like I implied it was.

Depends how you look at it. You can't extend the kernel's idea of
time without permanent storage being able to specify the supported
bounds - that's a non-negotiable aspect of introducing extended
epoch timestamp support.

The actual addition of extended timestamp support to each individual
filesystem is orthoganol to the introduction of the struct
inode_time, but doing this addition properly is dependent on the VFS
infrastructure being there in the first place.

Right, but the issue is that 64 bit second counters are broken right
now because most filesystems can't support more than 32 bit values.
So it doesn't matter whether it's 32 bit or 64 bit machines, just
adding explicit support for >32 bit second counters without doing
anything else just extends that brokenness into the indefinite
future.

If we don't fix it now (i.e in the new user API and supporting
infrastructure), then we'll *never be able to fix it* and we'll be
stuck with timestamps that do really weird things when you pass
arbitrary future dates to the kernel.

It's a pretty common way of extending the range of a variable for
on-disk formats. The on-disk format is completely disconnected from
the in-memory representation, so it's "easy" to play games like this
within the on-disk format.

If you look closely at ext4, you'll see all the lo/hi variables
where extension of 16->32 bits or 32->48 bits has occurred from
the ext2/3 variable formats... ;)

Because I wasn't trying to solve the entire problem, just
demonstrate the infrastructure needed to support extended
timestamps.....

Also, I don't like the concept of having filesystems that will work
on 64 bit but not 32 bit machines. Over the past 10 years, we've
managed to remove most of those differences from the VFS and XFS,
so adding new distinctions between 32/64 bit machines is not the
direction I want to head in.

As it is, I'm expecting to do this only after the struct inode_time
and the superblock "time range" infrastructure have been added to
the kernel and VFS.  If that change is not made, then we've still
only got 32 bit time....

Yes, we could set the flag on the first timestamp that goes beyond
the current epoch, but that has two problems:

	1. filesystem silently becomes incompatible with older
	kernels so failed upgrade rollbacks become problematic; and

	2. It adds unecessary complexity, as this will end up being
	the default behaviour for all new filesystems within a year.
	Then we end up with a mount option and conversion functions
	that never get used but we have to support for years....

We've got plenty of time to roll this out so I don't see any need
for putting in place temporary support mechanisms that unnecessarily
complicate the code.

Of course, "most filesystems" are obsolete, and most of the modern
file systems already support >32 bit timestamps: ext4, btrfs, cifs,
f2fs, 9p, nfsv4, ntfs, gfs2, ocfs2, fuse, ufs2. Everything else
except xfs, ext2/3 and exofs uses the nfsv3 interpretation on
64-bit systems, which interprets time stamps with the high bit
set as years 2038-2106 rather than 1903-1969.

We already have that. I agree it's fixable and we should fix it,
but I don't see how this is different from what we had 20 years
ago when Linux on Alpha first introduced a 64-bit time_t. It's
been this way on every 64-bit Linux system since.

I'm not sure that's an entirely correct representation - the
remainder of the 32 bit-only timestamp filesystems don't actively
interpret the time stamp at all - it's just an opaque 32 bit value.
hence the interpretation of the value is dependent on whether the
kernel treats it as signed or unsigned....

I see it differently: we've got 20 years more experience than when
the 64 bit time_t was introduced. That experience tells us that best
practices for API design are to range check every input to prevent
unintended side effects from occurring due to out-of-range data....

As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I don't the way it's handled
is intentional, but it's definitely the file system code that does
the assignment to the timeval and decides on the interpretation, doing
either

	inode->i_mtime.tv_sec = (signed)le32_to_cpu(raw_inode.mtime);

or

	inode->i_mtime.tv_sec = le32_to_cpu(raw_inode.mtime);

nilfs2 and a lot of other file systems don't need any changes for
this, because they don't assign the inode time stamp fields to
a 'struct timespec'.

FWIW, nilfs2 uses a 64-bit seconds value, which is always safe and
can represent the full range of user space timespec on all machines.

get_seconds() returns an unsigned long so there's potential for overflow
here.

I think John Stultz and Thomas Gleixner have already started looking
at how the timekeeping code can be updated. Once that is done, we should
be able to add a functional 64-bit gettimeofday/settimeofday syscall
pair. While I definitely agree this is one of the most basic things to
have, it's also not an area of the kernel that is easy to change.

We already have time_t, ktime_t, timeval, timespec, compat_timespec,
clock_t, cputime_t, cputime64_t, tm, nanoseconds, jiffies, jiffies64,
and lots of driver or file system specific representations. I'm all for
removing a bunch of these from the kernel, but my feeling is that this is
one of the cases where we first have to add new ones in order to remove
those that are already there.
To complicate things further, we also have various times bases
(realtime/utc, realtime/tai, monotonic, monotonic_raw, boottime, ...),
and at least for the timespec values we pass around, it's not always
obvious which one is used, of if that's the right one.

We probably don't want to add a lot of new representations, and it's
possible that we can change most of the internal code we have to
ktime_t and then convert that to whatever user space wants at the
interfaces.

The possible uses I can see for non-ktime_t types in the kernel are:
* inodes need 96 bit timestamps to represent the full range of values
  that can be stored in a file system, you made a convincing argument
  for that. Almost everything else can fit into 64 bit on a 32-bit
  kernel, in theory also on a 64-bit kernel if we want that.
* A number of interfaces pass relative timespecs: nanosleep(), poll(),
  select(), sigtimedwait(), alarm(), futex() and probably more. There is
  nothing wrong with the use of timespec here, and it may be good to
  annotate that by using a new type (e.g. struct timeout) that is defined
  as compatible with the current timespec.
* For new user interfaces, we need a new type such as the
  __kernel_timespec64 I introduced, so it doesn't clash with the normal
  user timespec that may be smaller, depending on the libc.
* A lot of drivers will need new ioctl commands, and for drivers that
  just need time stamps (audio, v4l, sockets, ...) it may be more
  efficient and more correct to use a new timestamp_t (e.g. boot time
  64-bit nanoseconds) than __kernel_timespec64, which is not normally
  monotonic and requires a normalization step. If we end up introducing
  such a type in the user interface, we can also start using it in the
  kernel.

64-bit clock_gettime / clock_settime instead of gettimeofday / 
settimeofday should avoid the need for the kernel to have a 64-bit version 
of struct timeval.  (Userspace 64-bit gettimeofday / settimeofday would 
need to use a combination of the syscalls if the tz pointer is non-NULL.)

Just ot be pedantic, inodes don't *need* 96 bit timestamps - some
filesystems can *support up to* 96 bit timestamps. If the kernel
only supports 64 bit timestamps and that's all the kernel can
represent, then the upper bits of the 96 bit on-disk inode
timestamps simply remain zero.

If you move the filesystem between kernels with different time
ranges, then the filesystem needs to be able to tell the kernel what
it's supported range is.  This is where having the VFS limit the
range of supported timestamps is important: the limit is the
min(kernel range, filesystem range). This allows the filesystems
to be indepenent of the kernel time representation, and the kernel
to be independent of the physical filesystem time encoding....

Cheers,

Dave.

I meant the reverse: since we have file systems that can store
96-bit timestamps when using 64-bit kernels, we need to extend
32-bit kernels to have the same internal representation so we
can actually read those file systems correctly.

I agree it makes sense to let the kernel know about the limits
of the file system it accesses, but for the reverse, we're probably
better off just making the kernel representation large enough (i.e.
96 bits) so it can work with any known file system. We need another
check at the user space boundary to turn that into a value that the
user can understand, but that's another problem.

Ok, that's a good reason to just provide the new interfaces on all

Depends...  96 bit handling may get prohibitive on 32-bit archs.

The important point here is for the kernel to be able to represent the 
time _range_ used by any known filesystem, not necessarily the time 
_precision_.

For example, a 64 bit representation can be made of 40 bits for seconds 
spanning 34865 years, and 24 bits for fractional seconds providing 
precision down to 60 nanosecs.  That ought to be plenty good on 32 bit 
systems while still being cheap to handle.

I have checked earlier that we don't do any computation on inode
time stamps in common code, we just pass them around, so there is
very little runtime overhead. There is a small bit of space overhead
(12 byte) per inode, but that structure is already on the order of
500 bytes.

For other timekeeping stuff in the kernel, I agree that using some
64-bit representation (nanoseconds, 32/32 unsigned seconds/nanoseconds,
...) has advantages, that's exactly the point I was making earlier
against simply extending the internal time_t/timespec to 64-bit
seconds for everything.

How much of a performance issue is it to make time_t 64 bits, and for
the bits there are, how hard are they to fix?

Probably very little overhead for most uses, it's more the regression
potential in the less common parts of the kernel I'm worried about.

There is a significant but not overwhelming number of uses of the
main problematic types in the kernel:

arnd@wuerfel:~/arm-soc$ git grep -wl time_t | wc
    188     188    5566
arnd@wuerfel:~/arm-soc$ git grep -wl timeval | wc
    320     320   10353
arnd@wuerfel:~/arm-soc$ git grep -wl timespec | wc
    406     406   10886

I believe we have to audit all of them anyway if we want to change
the kernel to less problematic types and introduce new user
interfaces.

IMHO this work is helped if we change the uses to a new type
as we find the problems. This lets us do the work one subsystem
at a time and avoid accidental ABI changes. I don't care much what
type that will be, and having a 96-bit type will certainly work
well in a lot of cases, but I don't see a strong reason to use
that over other types, especially when they can be more efficient.
