Subject: [PATCH] hcidump: add support for time64 based libc

musl is moving to a default of 64-bit time_t on all architectures,
glibc will follow later. This breaks reading timestamps through cmsg
data with the HCI_TIME_STAMP socket option.

Change both copies of hcidump to work on all architectures. This also
fixes x32, which has never worked, and carefully avoids breaking sparc64,
which is another special case.

I have only compiled this on one architecture, please at least test
it to ensure there are no regressions. The toolchain binaries from
http://musl.cc/ should allow testing with a 64-bit time_t, but it may
be hard to build all the dependencies first.

libpcap has the same bug and needs a similar fix to work on future
32-bit Linux systems. Everything else apparently uses the generic
SO_TIMESTAMP timestamps, which work correctly when using new enough
kernels with a time64 libc.

Won't it be broken on rv32 though? Based on my (albeit perhaps
incomplete) reading of the thread, I think use of HCI_TIME_STAMP
should just be dropped entirely in favor of using SO_TIMESTAMPNS -- my
understanding was that it works with bluetooth sockets too.

All 32-bit architectures use old_timeval32 timestamps in the kernel
here, even rv32 and x32. As a rule, we keep the types bug-for-bug
compatible between architectures and fix them all at the same time.

Changing hcidump to SO_TIMESTAMPNS would work as well, but
that is a much bigger change and I don't know how to test that.

Should it be something more like

if (sizeof(long) == 8) {
/*
* On 64-bit architectures, the data matches the timeval
* format. Note that on sparc64 this is different from
* all others.
*/
memcpy(&tv, data, sizeof(tv));

* library and architecture.
* The cmsg data however always contains a pair of

*/
unsigned int *stamp = data;
tv.tv_sec = stamp[0];
tv.tv_usec = stamp[1];
} else {
abort(); /* or some other "sorry, we're not ready for 128-bit or weird architectures yet" failure */
}

return tv;

And libpcap's Linux BT code should do the same thing, changing its memcpy() call?

If you want, you can submit a pull request, or I can make the change.

If so, maybe I'll just do that for libpcap. Libpcap *does* have an API to request capturing with nanoseconds in tv_usec (and I plan to give it pcapng-flavored APIs to deliver higher-resolution time stamps, as well as metadata such as "incoming" vs. "outgoing", as well).

Sounds good to me, just make sure that you no longer reference
HCI_TIME_STAMP and it should be fine with both old and new libc
versions.

SO_TIMESTAMPNS was first added to the kernel in linux-2.6.22, which
is probably older than anything you care about, but I'm not sure what you
need to do to use it on bluetooth. It appears to have first been added along
with the monitor channel support in linux-3.4.

On a semi-related note, I see that there is a y2038 compatibility in the
libpcap definition of struct pcap_timeval, which uses a *signed* tv_sec
field. I assume the sizes of the fields cannot be changed, but it would
be good to investigate if you can just make it unsigned instead, changing
the supported time range from 1902...2038 to 1970...2106.
It probably makes sense to do this together with supporting nanosecond
timestamps. You could also consider changing the format to use a
64-bit nanosecond value starting at either 1970 or 1902 to give an
even larger range.
