      compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec) · 81993e81
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      
      We have two APIs for compatiblity timespec/val, with confusingly
      similar names.  compat_(get|put)_time(val|spec) *do* handle the case
      where COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is set, whereas
      (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec) do not.  This is an accident waiting
      to happen.
      
      Clean it up by favoring the full-service version; the limited version
      is replaced with double-underscore versions static to kernel/compat.c.
      
      A common pattern is to convert a struct timespec to kernel format in
      an allocation on the user stack.  Unfortunately it is open-coded in
      several places.  Since this allocation isn't actually needed if
      COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is true (since user format == kernel format)
      encapsulate that whole pattern into the function
      compat_convert_timespec().  An equivalent function should be written
      for struct timeval if it is needed in the future.
      
      Finally, get rid of compat_(get|put)_timeval_convert(): each was only
      used once, and the latter was not even doing what the function said
      (no conversion actually was being done.)  Moving the conversion into
      compat_sys_settimeofday() itself makes the code much more similar to
      sys_settimeofday() itself.
      
      v3: Remove unused compat_convert_timeval().
      
      v2: Drop bogus "const" in the destination argument for
          compat_convert_time*().

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
