[ Upstream commit 077c212f0344ae4198b2b51af128a94b614ccdf4 ] Recently, we converted the ctime accesses in the kernel to use new accessor functions. Linus recently pointed out though that if we add accessors for the atime and mtime, then that would allow us to seamlessly change how these timestamps are stored in the inode. Add new accessor functions for the atime and mtime that mirror the accessors for the ctime.

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.
