Introduction:

The series is aimed at transitioning network timestamps to being
y2038 safe.
All patches can be reviewed and merged independently, except for
the [PATCH 2/4], which is dependent on the [PATCH 1/4].

Socket timestamps and ioctl calls will be handled separately.

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for discussing solution options with me.

Solution:

Data type struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Replace timespec with struct timespec64 which is y2038 safe.
Please respin this, moving the helper into net/ipv4/af_inet.c as per
the feedback given.

Thanks.
