      Description

        On Linux (kernel version 4.11 or newer, glibc version 2.28 or newer), `BasicFileAttributes.creationTime` now returns the creation or birth time of the file through the `stx_btime` element of `struct statx`. In previous JDK releases, the last modified time was returned. If the birth time is supported by the platform but not by the file system, then the epoch `1970-01-01T00:00:00Z` is returned.
