ALSA: Avoid using timespec for struct snd_pcm_status
The struct snd_pcm_status will use 'timespec' type variables to record timestamp, which is not year 2038 safe on 32bits system. Userspace will use SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS and SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT as commands to issue ioctl() to fill the 'snd_pcm_status' structure in userspace. The command number is always defined through _IOR/_IOW/IORW, so when userspace changes the definition of 'struct timespec' to use 64-bit types, the command number also changes. Thus in the kernel, we now need to define two versions of each such ioctl and corresponding ioctl commands to handle 32bit time_t and 64bit time_t in native mode: struct snd_pcm_status32 { ...... s32 trigger_tstamp_sec; s32 trigger_tstamp_nsec; ...... s32 audio_tstamp_sec; s32 audio_tstamp_nsec; ...... }; struct snd_pcm_status64 { ...... s32 trigger_tstamp_sec; s32 trigger_tstamp_nsec; ...... s32 audio_tstamp_sec; s32 audio_tstamp_nsec; ...... }; Moreover in compat file, we renamed or introduced new structures to handle 32bit/64bit time_t in compatible mode. The 'struct snd_pcm_status32' and snd_pcm_status_user32() are used to handle 32bit time_t in compat mode. 'struct compat_snd_pcm_status64' and snd_pcm_status_user_compat64() are used to handle 64bit time_t. The implicit padding before timespec is made explicit to avoid incompatible structure layout between 32-bit and 64-bit x86 due to the different alignment requirements, and the snd_pcm_status structure is now hidden from the kernel to avoid relying on the timespec definitio definitionn Finally we can replace SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS and SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_STATUS_EXT with new commands and introduce new functions to fill new 'struct snd_pcm_status64' instead of using unsafe 'struct snd_pcm_status'. Then in future, the new commands can be matched when userspace changes 'timespec' to 64bit type to make a size change of 'struct snd_pcm_status'. When glibc changes time_t to 64-bit, any recompiled program will issue ioctl commands that the kernel does not understand without this patch.
