y2038: Make CONFIG_64BIT_TIME unconditional
commit f3d96467 upstream. As Stepan Golosunov points out, there is a small mistake in the get_timespec64() function in the kernel. It was originally added under the assumption that CONFIG_64BIT_TIME would get enabled on all 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, but when the conversion was done, it was only turned on for 32-bit ones. The effect is that the get_timespec64() function never clears the upper half of the tv_nsec field for 32-bit tasks in compat mode. Clearing this is required for POSIX compliant behavior of functions that pass a 'timespec' structure with a 64-bit tv_sec and a 32-bit tv_nsec, plus uninitialized padding. The easiest fix for linux-5.1 is to just make the Kconfig symbol unconditional, as it was originally intended. As a follow-up, the #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT_TIME can be removed completely.. Note: for native 32-bit mode, no change is needed, this works as designed and user space should never need to clear the upper 32 bits of the tv_nsec field, in or out of the kernel.
