The file creation time in the inode uses time_t which is defined differently on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and deprecated. The representation in the inode uses an unsigned 32-bit number, but this gets wrapped around after year 2038 when assigned to a time_t. This changes the type to time64_t, so we can support the full range of timestamps between 1970 and 2106 on 32-bit systems like we do on 64-bit systems already, and matching what we do for the atime/ctime/mtime stamps since the introduction of 64-bit timestamps in VFS. Note: the otime stamp is not actually used anywhere at the moment in the kernel, it is just set when writing a file, so none of this really makes a difference unless we implement setting the btime field in the getattr() callback.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
