PATCH v4 1/1 Testing statx syscall Timestamp fields

The time before and after the execution of the corresponding system call is noted.

It is checked whether the time returned by statx lies in this range.

open syscall with O_CREAT flag for birth time.
write syscall for modified time.
read syscall for access time.
chmod syscall for status change time.

Since file and lineno are error indicating parameters and not the actual function arguments we preferred printing it before the actual error message.

Also as the second parameter is a structure we weren't sure if it is necessary to print individual structure members. That is why we preferred printing a plain error message with just the lineno and file name.

For the ext4 to provide nanosecond precision to the timestamp fields the INODE size has to be atleast 256bytes.

If the file system size is smaller than 512MB then by default the INODE size will be only 128bytes and hence will not support birth time and nano second precision.

Since file and lineno are error indicating parameters and not the actual function arguments we preferred printing it before the actual error message.

Well the clk_id could be computed on the fly and passed to the function, hence it would be better to print it here.

Also as the second parameter is a structure we weren't sure if it is necessary to print individual structure members. That is why we preferred printing a plain error message with just the lineno and file name.

We usually print structure pointers passed just as %p. There is no point in printing out the structure members here becaues if the call fails the structure will not be initialized and will likely contain random garbage.

Here we are assuming something that may change in the future, shouldn't we rather pass "-I 256" to the mkfs the same way we pass "-b $PAGESIZE" in statx05.c? Then we can go with whatever the default filesystem size is.
