PATCH 1/1 drivers: s390: net: ctcm: migrate variables to handle y2038 problem

This patch is concerned with migrating the time variables for the s390 network driver. The changes handle the y2038 problem where timespec will overflow in the year 2038. timespec64 and unsigned long long were used instead of timespec and unsigned long respectively in two files. All timespec variables use monotonic time values through the function ktime_get_ts64(). This is to make sure that all the time values are calculated from a fixed point.

---
v1: Arnd has advised me to provide you with options for time
calculation. The first option: "accuracy" is used in this patch. The second option: "speed" can be done through jiffies and current_kernel_time().

Aya,

thanks for this patch and thanks for calling our attention to this future problem in our code. Here you come up with a solution optimized for "accuracy", but you mention already an alternative solution optimized for "speed". In ctcm the time stamps are just used to deliver a statistic value. Since the time stamps are used in the hot traffic path of the ctcm-driver, I prefer the "speed" optimized solution based on jiffies here.

Regards, Ursula Braun
