  Now that __time_64_t exists, we can switch internal function
__tz_convert from 32-bit to 64-bit time. This involves switching
some other internal functions and turning some implementations
which use these into wrappers between public 32-bit and internal
64-bit time.

* __tz_compute: Pass timer as a __time64_t rather than time_t.
* __offtime: Pass __timer as a __time64_t value rather than
  a const time_t pointer.
* __tz_convert: Likewise.
* localtime: provide a 64-bit time version and make the 32-bit
  time version a wrapper of it.
* localtime_r: Likewise.
* ctime: Likewise.
* ctime_r: Likewise.
* gmtime: Likewise.
* gmtime_r: Likewise.

You're missing the information about what platforms this patch was tested 
on with the full glibc testsuite.  That's critical information for such a 
patch submission, which needs testing on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.  
(Later patches supporting using new syscalls will need testing on 
additional configurations, including building with old kernel headers; 
building with kernel headers with the new syscalls but running on a kernel 
without them; and building with new kernel headers and running on a kernel 
with the new syscalls.)

I've started with the simplest case for me, a native x86_64 test on
a Xubuntu 18.04 machine with gcc 7.3.0. This is how I did it:

$ cd /home/3adev/glibc/build
$ /home/3dev/glibc/src/configure --prefix /home/3adev/glibc/local
$ make -j3
$ make -j3 check

Running this with /home/3dev/glibc/{build,local} empty,
and /home/3dev/glibc/src being a checkout of tag glibc-2.28, that is,
without any patches of mine.

I end up with

Is it normal that the make check fail with a non-zero number of FAIL and
XFAIL?

If it is not a normal result, then what could possibly cause it
considering I am building the official glibc 2.28?

Is it is a normal result (i.e. this release of glibc is known to FAIL
and XFAIL this way for x86_64), then where can I find the expected FAIL
and XFAIL details for a given architecture and a given release of glibc?

You should expect XFAILs (for example, for conform/ tests that 
deliberately test features of the relevant standard that are either not 
provided by glibc, or are deliberately unsupported).

You should not expect anything like 132 FAILs; you'll need to get a 
working configuration for testing without so many FAILs on unmodified 
sources before you can effectively test proposed patches.

See the per-release wiki pages, e.g. 
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.28>.  That shows 17 XFAILs as 
expected for x86_64, but no FAILs.  (Ignore the results for WSL - the 
Windows subsystem for Linux emulation - all they show is defects in that 
subsystem, it's not a suitable environment for normal glibc testing.)

On Ubuntu 18.04 (using a locally built compiler - if you do that, note you 
need to copy libgcc_s.so.* and libstdc++.so.* into the build directory 
before running the tests) I get two FAILs:

FAIL: resolv/tst-resolv-ai_idn
FAIL: resolv/tst-resolv-ai_idn-latin1

Those appear in the architecture-independent section of the wiki page, for 
systems with too-old libidn2.

For 32-bit testing on 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04 (again, with a locally built 
compiler) I get one FAIL:

FAIL: nss/tst-nss-test3

I'd run make check in the past without these errors, hence my surprise.
Apparently, the issue lies with the value of --prefix at configure
time; It was not /usr, whereas if it is, and on a X86_64 machine, I do:

    mkdir temp
    cd temp
    git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git src
    cd src
    git checkout origin/release/2.28/master
    cd ..
    mkdir build
    cd build
    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make
    make check

I end up with

Summary of test results:
      2 FAIL
   5924 PASS
      9 UNSUPPORTED
     17 XFAIL
      2 XPASS

Which I assume is fine, as the two FAILs are the libidn2 ones.

I take this result as a reference and am running make check now on
patches applied above release/2.28/master; If the results are the
same as the reference, I'll consider the patches good for resubmission.

Yes, those results are fine.

Note that you should test for a 32-bit configuration as well - this 
applies to pretty much all the patches for 64-bit time, they need testing 
for both 32-bit and 64-bit configurations (some will need other testing, 
e.g. with kernels with the Y2038 patches included, but that doesn't apply 
to this one).

It should be possible to test natively for 32-bit on a 64-bit system if 
you install the relevant OS packages for 32-bit libraries (including 
development packages), and specify CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" when 
configuring for i686-pc-linux-gnu, but I haven't tried that using OS 
compiler packages (I test natively for 32-bit on a 64-bit system, but 
using locally built compilers).

I'll launch a test once the current jobs have finished running, however 
I've got a physical 32-bit ARM system with a Debian Stretch distro, so
I'll most certainly go the simpler native route for now, at least until
I get to test on on really many systems, at which point I'll include
the "32-bit on 64-bit" case too.

BTW, one quick question re the summary shown at the end of a make
check.

Here I get

Summary of test results:
      2 FAIL
   5924 PASS
      9 UNSUPPORTED
     17 XFAIL
      2 XPASS

I assumed that for each category (FAIL, PASS, UNSUPPORTED, XFAIL,
XPASS) the number before it was equal to the number of files named
"*.test-result" whose content started with said category, so for
instance if I ran the command:

find . -name "*.test-result" -exec grep ^FAIL: {} \; | wc -l

The output would be 2, because there are 2 FAIL results.

While the summary and grep agree for FAIL (2), UNSUPPORTED (9), XFAIL
(17) and XPASS (2), they disagree on PASS: the results say 5924, the
grep says 6018.

Also, the total number of files named "*.test-result" is 6048, which
equals 6018 + 2 + 9 +17 + 2 -- in other words, it is as if some actual
"PASS" test results were not counted in the summary.

Could anyone explain to me why the summary PASS count and the actual
PASS result file count disagree?

The rules for generating some files used in the testsuite generate the 
.test-result files; those files are not listed in tests-special as being 
tests, but some other similar files, using the same makefile rules, are so 
listed, hence the files being generated.  It's the settings of tests and 
tests-special in each subdirectory that determine what counts as a test 
for the purposes of the summaries.

(I think the files in question probably *should* be listed in 
tests-special.)
