    x32: Switch to a 64-bit clock_t · e7084fd5
    H. Peter Anvin authored
    clock_t is used mainly to give the number of jiffies a certain process
    has burned.  It is entirely feasible for a long-running process to
    consume more than 2^32 jiffies especially in a multiprocess system.
    As such, switch to a 64-bit clock_t for x32, just as we already
    switched to a 64-bit time_t.
    
    clock_t is only used in a handful of places, and as such it is really
    not a very significant change.  The one that has the biggest impact is
    in struct siginfo, but since the *size* of struct siginfo doesn't
    change (it is padded to the hilt) it is fairly easy to make this a
    localized change.
    
    This also gets rid of sys_x32_times, however since this is a pretty
    late change don't compactify the system call numbers; we can reuse
    system call slot 521 next time we need an x32 system call.
