get_seconds() is deprecated because of the 32-bit time overflow in y2038/y2106 on 32-bit architectures. The way it is used in cper_next_record_id() causes an overflow in 2106 when unsigned UTC seconds overflow, even on 64-bit architectures. This starts using ktime_get_real_seconds() to give us more than 32 bits of timestamp on all architectures, and then changes the algorithm to use 39 bits for the timestamp after the y2038 wrap date, plus an always-1 bit at the top. This gives us another 127 epochs of 136 years, with strictly monotonically increasing sequence numbers across boots. This is almost certainly overkill, but seems better than just extending the deadline from 2038 to 2106.

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.
