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 series is also a necessary update as glibc is set to provide 64 bit time_t support for 32 bit binaries. glibc plan is detailed at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Y2038ProofnessDesign .
The series is a result of discussions with Arnd Bergmann and Dmitry Torokhov at last Plumbers.
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 design also updates the format of the input events read/ written to the device nodes. This breaks 32 bit interface to the input events at compile time as preferred by the maintainer.
The userspace library changes to libevdev, libuinput and mtdev will be posted to the respective mailing groups for review.
Changes from v3: * Updated uinput to support monotonic time only * Addressed review comments Changes from v2: * Updated the design to break 32 bit interfaces at compile time. Changes from v1: * Updated changes according to review comments. * Posted userspace library changes that go along with the series.

struct timeval which is part of struct input_event to maintain the event times is not y2038 safe.
Real time timestamps are also not ideal for input_event as this time can go backwards as noted in the patch a80b83b7b8 by John Stultz.
The patch switches the timestamps to use monotonic time from realtime time. This is assuming no one is using absolute times from these timestamps.
The structure to maintain input events will be changed in a different patch.

Why is this change not opt-in, as for evdev? I assume there were compatibility reasons for not changing evdev's clock by default, so I would expect them to apply to uinput as well. (But I'm also prepared to believe that user-space is now generally compatible with and would prefer monotonic time from all input devices.)

Yes, but Arnd did a bit of code research to check that assumption. A commit message that says "we checked and it appears that no user- space depends on this" looks better than "I assume that no user-space depends on this".

The fact is we do not know all the places this is used. Arnd happened to find an instance. This is why Dmitry suggested that we will provide a ioctl or something if someone complains. It is not my assumption. It is the assumption that the patch is based on. This is to call people's attention to the fact that this is controversial. And, if they do not agree with the assumption, they should complain. So it does not matter we found an instance where the assumption is true.

struct timeval is not y2038 safe.
All references to timeval in the kernel will be replaced by y2038 safe structures. Replace all references to timeval with y2038 safe struct timespec64 here.
struct input_event will be changed in a different patch.

struct timeval is not y2038 safe. All usage of timeval in the kernel will be replaced by y2038 safe structures. The change is also necessary as glibc is introducing support for 32 bit applications to use 64 bit time_t. Without this change, many applications would incorrectly interpret values in the struct input_event. More details about glibc at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Y2038ProofnessDesign .
struct input_event maintains time for each input event. Real time timestamps are not ideal for input as this time can go backwards as noted in the patch a80b83b7b8 by John Stultz. Hence, having the input_event.time fields only big enough for monotonic and boot times are sufficient.
The change leaves the representation of struct input_event as is on 64 bit architectures. But uses 2 unsigned long values on 32 bit machines to support real timestamps until year 2106. This intentionally breaks the ABI on 32 bit architectures and compat handling on 64 bit architectures. This is as per maintainer's preference to introduce compile time errors rather than run into runtime incompatibilities.
The change requires any 32 bit userspace utilities reading or writing from event nodes to update their reading format to match the new input_event. The changes to the popular libraries will be posted once we agree on the kernel change.

struct timeval is not y2038 safe. All references to timeval will be deleted from the kernel to make it y2038 safe. Replace its uses by y2038 safe struct timespec64.
The timestamps changed here only keep track of delta times. These timestamps are also internal to kernel. Hence, monotonic times are sufficient here. The unit of the delta times is also changed in certain cases to nanoseconds rather than microseconds. This is in line with timespec64 which keeps time in nanoseconds.

The second macro argument here ends up as the second argument to hilse_inc_lcv() which appears to limit the number of retries, not a time limit. So I don't think the value here (or wherever else hilse_inc_lcv is referenced) should be changed.
The EXPECT, EXPECT_LAST etc. macros take a timeout ('to' parameter) which is then assigned to hil_mlc::intimeout, so it seems that those *should* be scaled up, but this patch doesn't do that. It also doesn't change the type of hil_mlc::intimeout (suseconds_t implying units of microseconds) or the comment on hilse_node::arg.
Alternately, it might be safer to keep all the timeouts in units of microseconds.
Ben.

Yes, I have overlooked the suseconds_t here. So apart from what you point out IN() and a few other things should also be fixed.
I will drop this patch and repost the series as Arnd mentioned he already posted a version of this patch. The series can go in without it and if we prefer my version here, I can submit the patch alone.
Thanks, -Deepa

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 series is also a necessary update as glibc is set to provide 64 bit time_t support for 32 bit binaries. glibc plan is detailed at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Y2038ProofnessDesign .
The series is a result of discussions with Arnd Bergmann and Dmitry Torokhov at last Plumbers.
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 design also updates the format of the input events read/ written to the device nodes. This breaks 32 bit interface to the input events at compile time as preferred by the maintainer.
The userspace library changes to libevdev, libuinput and mtdev will be posted to the respective mailing groups for review.
Acked-by: Peter Hutterer peter.hutterer@who-t.net
Cheers, Peter
Changes from v3:
- Updated uinput to support monotonic time only
- Addressed review comments
Changes from v2:
- Updated the design to break 32 bit interfaces at compile time.
Changes from v1:
- Updated changes according to review comments.
- Posted userspace library changes that go along with the series.
