159 /* Support for 64-bit time_t in the system call interface. When this
160 flag is set, the kernel provides a version of each of these system
161 calls that accepts 64-bit time_t:
166 clock_getres(_time64)
167 clock_nanosleep(_time64)
169 mq_timedreceive(_time64)
170 mq_timedsend(_time64)

181 On architectures where time_t has historically been 64 bits,
182 only the 64-bit version of each system call exists, and there
183 are no suffixes on the __NR_ constants.
185 On architectures where time_t has historically been 32 bits,
186 both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of each system call may exist,
187 depending on the kernel version. When the 64-bit version exists,
188 there is a '64' or '_time64' suffix on the name of its __NR_
189 constant, as shown above.
191 This flag is always set for Linux 5.1 and later. Prior to that
192 version, it is set only for some CPU architectures and ABIs:
194 - __WORDSIZE == 64 - all supported architectures where pointers
195 are 64 bits also have always had 64-bit time_t.
197 - __WORDSIZE == 32 && __SYSCALL_WORDSIZE == 64 - this describes
198 only one supported configuration, x86's 'x32' subarchitecture,
199 where pointers are 32 bits but time_t has always been 64 bits.
201 __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS being set does not mean __TIMESIZE is 64,
202 and __TIMESIZE equal to 64 does not mean __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
203 is set. All four cases are possible. */
