    socket: Rename SO_RCVTIMEO/ SO_SNDTIMEO with _OLD suffixes · 45bdc661
    Deepa Dinamani authored
    SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO socket options use struct timeval
    as the time format. struct timeval is not y2038 safe.
    The subsequent patches in the series add support for new socket
    timeout options with _NEW suffix that will use y2038 safe
    data structures. Although the existing struct timeval layout
    is sufficiently wide to represent timeouts, because of the way
    libc will interpret time_t based on user defined flag, these
    new flags provide a way of having a structure that is the same
    for all architectures consistently.
    Rename the existing options with _OLD suffix forms so that the
    right option is enabled for userspace applications according
    to the architecture and time_t definition of libc.
