All time aware operating system today uses NTP (Network Time Protocol) - not only UNIX/Linux.

NTP uses 32 bit signed value to count the seconds since first of january 1970.
This makes 31 bit usable (the first bit is to say if the value is plus or minus (after or before first january 1970).
With 31 bit you can count to 2147483647 seconds (or a little over 68 years - january 2038)
