The get_seconds function is deprecated now since it returns a 32-bit value that will eventually overflow, and we are replacing it throughout the kernel with ktime_get_seconds() or ktime_get_real_seconds() that return a time64_t. bcache uses get_seconds() to read the current system time and store it in the superblock as well as in uuid_entry structures that are user visible. Unfortunately, the two structures in are still limited to 32 bits, so this won't fix any real problems but will still overflow in year 2106. Let's at least document that properly, in case we get an updated format in the future it can be fixed. We still have a long time before the overflow and checking the tools at https://github.com/koverstreet/bcache-tools reveals no access to any of them.

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.
