Linux Kernel Newbies: y2038, "The year 2038 problem"

From the Linux Kernel Newbies website, the y2038 page describes "The year 2038 problem" thusly:

https://kernelnewbies.org/y2038

All 32-bit kernels to date use a signed 32-bit time_t type, which can only represent time until January 2038. Since embedded systems running 32-bit Linux are going to survive beyond that date, we have to change all current uses, in a backwards compatible way.
