Question: shouldn't we copy values from ts into ts64 before calling doing syscall? E.g. :
```
#elif defined(SYS_clock_settime64)
static_assert(
sizeof(time_t) == sizeof(int64_t),
"SYS_clock_settime64 requires struct timespec with 64-bit members.");
__kernel_timespec ts64{};
// Populate the 64-bit kernel structure from the user-provided timespec.
ts64.tv_sec = static_cast<decltype(ts64.tv_sec)>(ts->tv_sec);
ts64.tv_nsec = static_cast<decltype(ts64.tv_nsec)>(ts->tv_nsec);
ret = LIBC_NAMESPACE::syscall_impl<int>(SYS_clock_settime64,
static_cast<long>(clockid),
reinterpret_cast<long>(&ts64));
#else
...
