Git 1111a44301 - main - Defer the January 19, 2038 date limit in
UFS1 file systems to February 7, 2106 - did so by changing the UFS1
32-bit signed timestamps to unsigned. With this change, time stamps
from before January 1, 1970 went from being negative numbers to
large positive numbers implying times in the future. When such a
time stamp is encountered when an inode is read into memory or when
it is encountered by fsck, its timestamp is replaced with the
kernel's current time.
Andre Albsmeier reported that he had a machine reboot after a power
failure and the battery that maintained its real-time clock had
died. The result was that the system booted with the time set to
five years earlier (absent a real-time clock value, the boot ROM
used the time that the boot ROM had last been updated). The net
result was that fsck reset the time stamps of all files newer than
five years old to the five year old time.
Andres's original request was for a flag in the file system superblock
to say that there are no timestamps from before 1970 in the file
system, so there shouldn't be anything to fix because of the signed
to unsigned switch. But this assumes that no one every does an rsync
or extracts a tar file or restores a dump that introduces an incorrect
time stamp on their system. So this approach was not taken.
This change compares the system's version of the current time to
the last modification time in the file system superblock. If the
current time is earlier than that time then use the last modification
time in the superblock as the value for the current time. There
should be no files in the file system with times newer than the
last modification time in the superblock.
The superblock time stamp is updated in the in-memory superblock
every time any change is made to anything in the file system. The
superblock is written to the disk every 30 seconds, so it may be
off by up to 30 seconds plus the time it sits in the disk cache
waiting to be written if the system has an unclean shutdown (such
as a power failure). Thus, the worst case scenario with this change
is that files written in the last 30 seconds plus disk cache delay
time before the crash may have their times adjusted back by up to
30 seconds plus the disk cache delay time.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
