y2038: mips: Extend sysvipc data structures
MIPS is the weirdest case for sysvipc, because each of the
three data structures is done differently:
* msqid64_ds has padding in the right place so we could in theory
extend this one to just have 64-bit values instead of time_t.
As this does not work for most of the other combinations,
we just handle it in the common manner though.
* semid64_ds has no padding for 64-bit time_t, but has two reserved
'long' fields, which are sufficient to extend the sem_otime
and sem_ctime fields to 64 bit. In order to do this, the libc
implementation will have to copy the data into another structure
that has the fields in a different order. MIPS is the only
architecture with this problem, so this is best done in MIPS
specific libc code.
* shmid64_ds is slightly worse than that, because it has three
time_t fields but only two unused 32-bit words. As a workaround,
we extend each field only by 16 bits, ending up with 48-bit
timestamps that user space again has to work around by itself.
The compat versions of the data structures are changed in the
same way.
