sys/time.h is the mandated include for many time related
defines. However, linux/time.h overlaps sys/time.h
significantly and this makes including both from userspace
or one from the other impossible.
This also means that userspace can get away with including
sys/time.h whenever it needs linux/time.h and this is what's
been happening in the user world usually.
But, we have new data types that we plan to use in the uapi time
interfaces also defined in the linux/time.h. But, we are unable
to use these types when sys/time.h is included.
Hence, move the new types to a new header, time_types.h.
We intend to eventually have all the uapi defines that the kernel
uses defined in this header.
Note that the plan is to replace uapi interfaces with timeval to
use __kernel_old_timeval, timespec to use __kernel_old_timespec etc.

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.
