    time: Introduce CONFIG_64BIT_TIME in architectures · d4703dda

    There are a total of 53 system calls (aside from ioctl) that pass a time_t
    or derived data structure as an argument, and in order to extend time_t
    to 64-bit, we have to replace them with new system calls and keep providing
    backwards compatibility.
    
    To avoid adding completely new and untested code for this purpose, we
    introduce a new CONFIG_64BIT_TIME symbol. Every architecture that supports
    new 64 bit time_t syscalls enables this config.
    
    After this is done for all architectures, the CONFIG_64BIT_TIME symbol
    will be deleted.
