The timestamps for the cache are all in boottime seconds, so they don't overflow 32-bit values, but the use of time_t is deprecated because it generally does overflow when used with wall-clock time. There are multiple possible ways of avoiding it: - leave time_t, which is safe here, but forces others to look into this code to determine that it is over and over. - use a more generic type, like 'int' or 'long', which is known to be sufficient here but loses the documentation of referring to timestamps - use ktime_t everywhere, and convert into seconds in the few places where we want realtime-seconds. The conversion is sometimes expensive, but not more so than the conversion we do today. - use time64_t to clarify that this code is safe. Nothing would change for 64-bit architectures, but it is slightly less efficient on 32-bit architectures. Without a clear winner of the three approaches above, this picks the last one, favouring readability over a small performance loss on 32-bit architectures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
