Reposting the series as I did not hear comments from the
maintainers.
The series is aimed at making input events y2038 safe.
It extends the lifetime of the realtime timestamps in the
events to year 2106.
The plan is to deprecate realtime timestamps anyway as they
are not appropriate for these timestamps as noted in the patch
a80b83b7b8 by John Stultz.
The series is a result of many discussions with Arnd Bergmann.
The design updates the format of the input events read/ written
to the device nodes. This structure and the uapi/input.h
header file are copied across many userspace libraries.
These libraries not only use this struct input_event locally,
but also expose interfaces that contain input_event. To maintain
backward compatibility with all these interfaces, kernel
updates the format of the input events at the dev node to
struct raw_input_event. Kernel also maintains the old struct
input_event and provides apis to convert between the old and new
input event types.
The userspace library changes to libevdev, libuinput and mtdev
will be posted to the respective mailing groups for review.
Once there is a consensus on the design, all the changes dependent
on the kernel change will be merged at the same time.
Changes from v1:
* Updated changes according to review comments.
* Posted userspace library changes that go along with the series.

Dear Customer,
This is to confirm that one or more of your parcels has been shipped.
Shipment Label is attached to this email.
Yours trully,
Kurt Richardson,
FedEx Delivery Manager.
struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Audit timestamps are recorded in string format into
an audit buffer for a given context.
These mark the entry timestamps for the syscalls.
Use y2038 safe struct timespec64 to represent the times.
The log strings can handle this transition as strings can
hold upto 1024 characters.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Use time64_t which is y2038 safe to represent orphan
scan times.
time64_t is sufficient here as only the seconds delta
times are relevant.
Also use appropriate time functions that return time in
time64_t format. Time functions now return monotonic
time instead of real time as only delta scan times are
relevant and these values are not persistent across
reboots.
The format string for the debug print is still using long
as this is only the time elapsed since the last scan and
long is sufficient to represent this value.
