I think this approach might trigger an issue on semid_ds definition for 
time64 that I only noticed now.

Since the idea of semctl is not use a different entrypoint neither to add
aditional flag when issuing the syscall (either semctl or ipc), with this
change we need to assure that __TIMESIZE == 32 sem_otime alignment matches
__TIMESIZE == 64 one.

However for semid_ds and msqid_ds time_t members can't not properly aligned
to be expanded to 64-bit (shmid_ds has a shm_segsz field before the
timestamp fields) due to the ipc_perm header consisting of 9 32-bit words
except on parisc/powerpc/sparc.  The alignment difference will make 
semctl once programs states build against a semid_ds with time_t
being an 64-bit type.

So we have 2 options here:

  1. Keep the semid_ds layout as the kernel expected one and add the
     newer time64 timestamps at the *end*, and redefine the command 
     arguments that passes a struct semid_ds to use 
     (IPC_STAT, SEM_STAT, SEM_STAT_ANY) to indicate that the semid_ds
     is a time64 one.  The IPC_64 bit might be a feasible hack since
     kernel won't use on possible new commands.

  2. Add a new semctl64 to handle the time64 one semid_ds.

No need to define it for __WORDSIZE == 32, the ABI just supports it
anyway.

Ok, it cover mips64-n32 as well.

I think it would be better to move this definition to the common
ipc_priv.h header since it will most likely be used on msgctl
and shmctl y2038 support as well.

I think we shoul add a comment stating why we need a auxiliary buffer 
for STAT/STAT_ANY operations.  Something like:

   A temporary buffer is used to avoid both an issue where the export
   semid_ds might not have follow kernel expected layout (due
   sem_{o,c}time alignment in 64-bit time case) and the issue where
   some kernel version might not clear the high bits when returning
   then sem_{o,c}time information.

We need to fully initialize the temporary struct to avoid a kernel
issue fixed in 4693916846269d633a3664586650dbfac2c5562f (4.14) where
kernel does not clear the timestamps high bits.

I think it would be better to use __time64_t explicit here.
