This patch series change the 32-bit time types (timespec/itimerspec) to the 64-bit types (timespec64/itimerspec64), and add new 64bit accessor functions, which are required in order to avoid y2038 issues in the posix_clock subsystem.
In order to avoid spamming people too much, I'm only sending the first few patches of the patch series, and left the other patches for later.
And if you are interested in the whole patch series, see: https://git.linaro.org/people/baolin.wang/upstream_0627.git
Thoughts and feedback would be appreciated.
