[v5,0/8] y2038 safety in v4l2

Message

I'm in the process of finishing up the last bits on y2038-unsafe
code in the kernel, this series is for v4l2, which has no problem
with overflow, but has multiple ioctls that break with user space
built against a new 32-bit libc.

I posted similar patches as part of a series back in 2015, the
new version was rewritten from scratch and I double-checked with
the old version to make sure I did not miss anything I had already
taken care of before.

Hans Verkuil worked on a different patch set in 2017, but this
also did not get to the point of being merged.

My new version contains compat-ioctl support, which the old one
did not and should be complete, but given its size likely contains
bugs. I did randconfig build tests, but no runtime test, so
careful review as well as testing would be much appreciated.

With this version, the newly added code takes care of the existing
ABI, while the existing code got moved to the 64-bit time_t
interface and is used internally. This means that testing with
existing binaries should exercise most of the modifications
and if that works and doesn't get shot down in review, we can
probably live without testing the new ABI explicitly.

I'm not entirely happy with the compat-ioctl implementation that
adds quite a bit of code duplication, but I hope this is
acceptable anyway, as a better implementation would likely
require a larger refactoring of the compat-ioctl file, while
my approach simply adds support for the additional data structure
variants.

I uploaded git branch on top of the v4l2/dvb branch to [2].

Changes since v4:

- Move non-public contents out of uapi header
- split out __kernel_v4l2_timeval into separate struct
- use compound initializers for v4l2_event_time32 and
  v4l2_buffer_time32 conversion
- add comment for v4l2_buffer_get_timestamp()

Changes since v3:

- This is a minor update compared to version 3 of this series,
  with bugfixes for small mistakes that I found or that were
  reported by automated build bots.
