Most users of jffs2 are 32-bit systems that traditionally only support timestamps using a 32-bit signed time_t, in the range from years 1902 to 2038. On 64-bit systems, jffs2 however interpreted the same timestamps as unsigned values, reading back negative times (before 1970) as times between 2038 and 2106. Now that Linux supports 64-bit inode timestamps even on 32-bit systems, let's use the second interpretation everywhere to allow jffs2 to be used on 32-bit systems beyond 2038 without a fundamental change to the inode format. This has a slight risk of regressions, when existing files with timestamps before 1970 are present in file system images and are now interpreted as future time stamps. I considered moving the wraparound point a bit, e.g. to 1960, in order to deal with timestamps that ended up on Dec 31, 1969 due to incorrect timezone handling. However, this would complicate the implementation unnecessarily, so I went with the simplest possible method of extending the timestamps. Writing files with timestamps before 1970 or after 2106 now results in those times being clamped in the file system.

README
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.
