Most architectures now use the asm-generic copy of the sysvipc data structures (msqid64_ds, semid64_ds, shmid64_ds), which use 32-bit __kernel_time_t on 32-bit architectures but have padding behind them to allow extending the type to 64-bit.
Unfortunately, that fails on all big-endian architectures, which have the padding on the wrong side. As so many of them get it wrong, we decided to not bother even trying to fix it up when we introduced the asm-generic copy. Instead we always use the padding word now to provide the upper 32 bits of the seconds value, regardless of the endianess.
A libc implementation on a typical big-endian system can deal with this by providing its own copy of the structure definition to user space, and swapping the two 32-bit words before returning from the semctl/shmctl/msgctl system calls.
ARM64 and s/390 are architectures that use these generic headers and also provide support for compat mode on 64-bit kernels, so we adapt their copies here as well.
