137 similar to kernel:
138
139 - __ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS: for variant 1.
140 - __ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS2: for variant 2 (s390).
141 - __ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS3: for variant 3 (microblaze).
142 - __ASSUME_CLONE_DEFAULT: for variant 4.
143 - __ASSUME_CLONE2: for clone2 with variant 3 (ia64).

148 /* Support for 64-bit time_t in the system call interface. When this
149 flag is set, the kernel provides a version of each of these system
150 calls that accepts 64-bit time_t:
151
152 clock_adjtime(64)
153 clock_gettime(64)
154 clock_settime(64)
155 clock_getres(_time64)
156 clock_nanosleep(_time64)
157 futex(_time64)
158 mq_timedreceive(_time64)
159 mq_timedsend(_time64)
160 ppoll(_time64)
161 pselect6(_time64)
162 rt_sigtimedwait(_time64)
163 sched_rr_get_interval(_time64)
164 timer_gettime(64)
165 timer_settime(64)
166 timerfd_gettime(64)
167 timerfd_settime(64)
168 utimensat(_time64)
169
170 On architectures where time_t has historically been 64 bits,
171 only the 64-bit version of each system call exists, and there
172 are no suffixes on the __NR_ constants.
173
174 On architectures where time_t has historically been 32 bits,
175 both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of each system call may exist,
176 depending on the kernel version. When the 64-bit version exists,
177 there is a '64' or '_time64' suffix on the name of its __NR_
178 constant, as shown above.
179
180 This flag is always set for Linux 5.1 and later. Prior to that
181 version, it is set only for some CPU architectures and ABIs:
182
183 - __WORDSIZE == 64 - all supported architectures where pointers
184 are 64 bits also have always had 64-bit time_t.
185
186 - __WORDSIZE == 32 && __SYSCALL_WORDSIZE == 64 - this describes
187 only one supported configuration, x86's 'x32' subarchitecture,
188 where pointers are 32 bits but time_t has always been 64 bits.
189
190 __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS being set does not mean __TIMESIZE is 64,
191 and __TIMESIZE equal to 64 does not mean __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
192 is set. All four cases are possible. */
