I've dumped out some values tv_nsec values with current mesa git on arm64:

[   33.699652] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 4990449401
[   33.813081] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 5103872445
[   33.822936] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 5113731286
[   33.840963] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 5131762726
[   33.854120] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 5144920127
[   33.861426] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 5152227527
[   33.872666] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 5163466968
[   33.879485] etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep: 5170286808

The problem is that in mesa/libdrm

static inline void get_abs_timeout(struct drm_etnaviv_timespec *tv, uint64_t ns)
{
        struct timespec t;
        uint32_t s = ns / 1000000000;
        clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t);
        tv->tv_sec = t.tv_sec + s;
        tv->tv_nsec = t.tv_nsec + ns - (s * 1000000000);
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   this overflows (since `s` is `uint_32t` and hence we substract a way
   too small value with ns = 5000000000 which mesa uses in
   etna_bo_cpu_prep.
}

So with current mesa/libdrm (which needs to be fixed) we'd have a maximum

      t.tv_nsec + ns         - (s_max * 1000000000)

      999999999 + 5000000000 - 705032704            = 5294967295

Does that make sense? If so that'd be the possible upper bound for the
kernel. Note that this only applies to etnaviv_ioctl_gem_cpu_prep. While
etnaviv_ioctl_wait_fence and etnaviv_ioctl_gem_wait are affected too
i've not yet seen user space passing in larger values.
