As Stepan Golosunov points out, there is a small mistake in the
get_timespec64() function in the kernel. It was originally added under the
assumption that CONFIG_64BIT_TIME would get enabled on all 32-bit and
64-bit architectures, but when the conversion was done, it was only turned
on for 32-bit ones.
The effect is that the get_timespec64() function never clears the upper
half of the tv_nsec field for 32-bit tasks in compat mode. Clearing this is
required for POSIX compliant behavior of functions that pass a 'timespec'
structure with a 64-bit tv_sec and a 32-bit tv_nsec, plus uninitialized
padding.
The easiest fix for linux-5.1 is to just make the Kconfig symbol
unconditional, as it was originally intended. As a follow-up, the #ifdef
CONFIG_64BIT_TIME can be removed completely..
Note: for native 32-bit mode, no change is needed, this works as
designed and user space should never need to clear the upper 32
bits of the tv_nsec field, in or out of the kernel.

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.
