* times. This is useful for comparing 32-bit seconds values that can't
* be converted to 64-bit values (e.g. due to disk format or wire protocol
* issues) when it is known that the times are less than 68 years apart.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/cache.h`, `linux/math64.h`, `linux/time64.h`, `linux/time32.h`, `vdso/time.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct tm`, `function clear_itimer`, `function itimerspec64_valid`.
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Core Kernel Interface.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
