The machine check timestamp uses get_seconds(), which returns an 'unsigned long' number that might overflow on 32-bit architectures (in the distant future) and is therefore deprecated. The normal replacement would be ktime_get_real_seconds(), but that needs to use a sequence lock that might cause a deadlock if the MCE happens at just the wrong moment. The __ktime_get_real_seconds() skips that lock and is safer here, but has a miniscule risk of returning the wrong time when we read it on a 32-bit architecture at the same time as updating the epoch, i.e. from before y2106 overflow time to after, or vice versa. This seems to be an acceptable risk in this particular case, and is the same thing we do in kdb.

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.
