165/* Support for 64-bit time_t in the system call interface. When this
166 flag is set, the kernel provides a version of each of these system
167 calls that accepts 64-bit time_t:
168
169 clock_adjtime(64)
170 clock_gettime(64)
171 clock_settime(64)
172 clock_getres(_time64)
173 clock_nanosleep(_time64)

183 timerfd_gettime(64)
184 timerfd_settime(64)
185 utimensat(_time64)
186
187 On architectures where time_t has historically been 64 bits,
188 only the 64-bit version of each system call exists, and there
189 are no suffixes on the __NR_ constants.
190
191 On architectures where time_t has historically been 32 bits,
192 both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of each system call may exist,
193 depending on the kernel version. When the 64-bit version exists,
194 there is a '64' or '_time64' suffix on the name of its __NR_
195 constant, as shown above.
196
197 This flag is always set for Linux 5.1 and later. Prior to that
198 version, it is set only for some CPU architectures and ABIs:
199
200 - __WORDSIZE == 64 - all supported architectures where pointers
201 are 64 bits also have always had 64-bit time_t.
202
203 - __WORDSIZE == 32 && __SYSCALL_WORDSIZE == 64 - this describes
204 only one supported configuration, x86's 'x32' subarchitecture,
205 where pointers are 32 bits but time_t has always been 64 bits.
206
207 __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS being set does not mean __TIMESIZE is 64,
208 and __TIMESIZE equal to 64 does not mean __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
209 is set. All four cases are possible. */
