c796348774 ntp: Fix second_overflow's input parameter type to be 64bits
The function "second_overflow" uses "unsign long"
as its input parameter type which will overflow after
year 2106 on 32bit systems.

Thus this patch replaces it with time64_t type.

While the 64-bit division is expensive, "next_ntp_leap_sec"
has been calculated already, so we can just re-use it in the
TIME_INS/DEL cases, allowing one expensive division per
leapsecond instead of re-doing the divsion once a second after
the leap flag has been set.

7ec88e4be4 ntp/pps: use timespec64 for hardpps()
There is only one user of the hardpps function in the kernel, so
it makes sense to atomically change it over to using 64-bit
timestamps for y2038 safety. In the hardpps implementation,
we also need to change the pps_normtime structure, which is
similar to struct timespec and also requires a 64-bit
seconds portion.

This introduces two temporary variables in pps_kc_event() to
do the conversion, they will be removed again in the next step,
which seemed preferable to having a larger patch changing it
all at the same time.

833f32d763 time: Prevent early expiry of hrtimers[CLOCK_REALTIME] at the leap second edge
Currently, leapsecond adjustments are done at tick time. As a result,
the leapsecond was applied at the first timer tick *after* the
leapsecond (~1-10ms late depending on HZ), rather then exactly on the
second edge.

This was in part historical from back when we were always tick based,
but correcting this since has been avoided since it adds extra
conditional checks in the gettime fastpath, which has performance
overhead.

However, it was recently pointed out that ABS_TIME CLOCK_REALTIME
timers set for right after the leapsecond could fire a second early,
since some timers may be expired before we trigger the timekeeping
timer, which then applies the leapsecond.

This isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since behaviorally it is similar
to what is possible w/ ntpd made leapsecond adjustments done w/o using
the kernel discipline. Where due to latencies, timers may fire just
prior to the settimeofday call. (Also, one should note that all
applications using CLOCK_REALTIME timers should always be careful,
since they are prone to quirks from settimeofday() disturbances.)

However, the purpose of having the kernel do the leap adjustment is to
avoid such latencies, so I think this is worth fixing.

So in order to properly keep those timers from firing a second early,
this patch modifies the ntp and timekeeping logic so that we keep
enough state so that the update_base_offsets_now accessor, which
provides the hrtimer core the current time, can check and apply the
leapsecond adjustment on the second edge. This prevents the hrtimer
core from expiring timers too early.

This patch does not modify any other time read path, so no additional
overhead is incurred. However, this also means that the leap-second
continues to be applied at tick time for all other read-paths.

Apologies to Richard Cochran, who pushed for similar changes years
ago, which I resisted due to the concerns about the performance
overhead.

While I suspect this isn't extremely critical, folks who care about
strict leap-second correctness will likely want to watch
this. Potentially a -stable candidate eventually.

7d489d15ce timekeeping: Convert timekeeping core to use timespec64s
Convert the core timekeeping logic to use timespec64s. This moves the
2038 issues out of the core logic and into all of the accessor
functions.

Future changes will need to push the timespec64s out to all
timekeeping users, but that can be done interface by interface.

87ace39b71 ntp: Rework do_adjtimex to take timespec and tai arguments
In order to change the locking rules, we need to provide
the timespec and tai values rather then having the ntp
logic acquire these values itself.

aa6f9c595d ntp: Move do_adjtimex() and hardpps() functions to timekeeping.c
In preparation for changing the ntp locking rules, move
do_adjtimex and hardpps accessor functions to timekeeping.c,
but keep the code logic in ntp.c.

This patch also introduces a ntp_internal.h file so timekeeping
specific interfaces of ntp.c can be more limitedly shared with
timekeeping.c.
