Theoretically, this is a right assert to have (modulo the upper cap on the acceptable years value). Practically, this means that the assert can be immediately triggered from userspace by root. See PR 214300 for the my thought about complete fix and the reciprocal workaround.

Do not use protected namespace for normal code.

Add additional safety belt in clock_settime() per patch in pr 214300.

Ah, forgot about that. Sorry, just a minute.

cem edited edge metadata.

Replace __ prefix with LIBKERN_, to avoid name clashes without using reserved
namespace.
