<id>urn:sha1:3c00a1fe8496ff29ab62764bb3f4ce4b48089004</id>
<content type='text'>
As part of addressing in-kernel y2038 issues, this patch adds
update_persistent_clock64() and replaces all the call sites of
update_persistent_clock() with this function. This is a __weak
implementation, which simply calls the existing y2038 unsafe
update_persistent_clock().

This allows architecture specific implementations to be
converted independently, and eventually y2038-unsafe
update_persistent_clock() can be removed after all its
architecture specific implementations have been converted to
update_persistent_clock64().

<title>ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systems</title>
<updated>2015-02-18T13:50:10Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73'/>
<id>urn:sha1:29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73</id>
<content type='text'>
Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid
potential multiplication overflows were added in commit
5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values)

Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of
LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being
much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives
resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/
EINVAL.

ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so
the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time
sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by
the bug.

See bugs:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074

This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for
clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled
on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always
larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication
overflows aren't possible there.

Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - rework hrtimer expiry calculation in hrtimer_interrupt(): the
     previous code had a subtle bug where expiry caching would miss an
     expiry, resulting in occasional bogus (late) expiry of hrtimers.

   - continuing Y2038 fixes

   - ktime division optimization

   - misc smaller fixes and cleanups"

rtc_set_ntp_time() uses timespec which is y2038-unsafe,
so modify to use timespec64 which is y2038-safe, then
replace rtc_time_to_tm() with rtc_time64_to_tm().

Also adjust all its call sites(only NTP uses it) accordingly.

Verify that the frequency value from userspace is valid and makes sense.

Unverified values can cause overflows later on.

<content type='text'>
Convert the core timekeeping logic to use timespec64s. This moves the
2038 issues out of the core logic and into all of the accessor
functions.

Future changes will need to push the timespec64s out to all
timekeeping users, but that can be done interface by interface.

<title>timekeeping: use printk_deferred when holding timekeeping seqlock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6d9bcb621b0b0a20604cbdb298c4487e44dd0da2</id>
<content type='text'>
Jiri Bohac pointed out that there are rare but potential deadlock
possibilities when calling printk while holding the timekeeping
seqlock.

This is due to printk() triggering console sem wakeup, which can
cause scheduling code to trigger hrtimers which may try to read
the time.

Specifically, as Jiri pointed out, that path is:
  printk
    vprintk_emit
      console_unlock
        up(&amp;console_sem)
          __up
	    wake_up_process
	      try_to_wake_up
	        ttwu_do_activate
		  ttwu_activate
		    activate_task
		      enqueue_task
		        enqueue_task_fair
			  hrtick_update
			    hrtick_start_fair
			      hrtick_start_fair
			        get_time
				  ktime_get
				    --&gt; endless loop on
				    read_seqcount_retry(&amp;timekeeper_seq, ...)

This patch tries to avoid this issue by using printk_deferred (previously
named printk_sched) which should defer printing via a irq_work_queue.
