Unfortunately this is not the definition we want on big-endian systems because it puts the tv_nsec field in the wrong place.
Indeed!
You can either uses the simple (non-POSIX) __kernel_timespec definition in nolibc with a 64-bit tv_nsec, or copy the more complicated definition with explicit padding that is used in musl and glibc.
I think that switching this patch and the next one (10/12) would just do the trick since both fields will become __kernel_time64_t. Or maybe the two should be squashed into a single one.
Maybe I can make it clearer that this patch does not change anything. This custom definition of 'struct timespec' is the same as the one we got from linux/time.h before. This is just a preparation for the next commit. Merging would also work, but it will be a bit messy to look at.
