<content type='text'>
The ADJ_TAI adjtimex mode sets the TAI-UTC offset of the system clock.
It is typically set by NTP/PTP implementations and it is automatically
updated by the kernel on leap seconds. The initial value is zero (which
applications may interpret as unknown), but this value cannot be set by
adjtimex. This limitation seems to go back to the original "nanokernel"
implementation by David Mills.

Change the ADJ_TAI check to accept zero as a valid TAI-UTC offset in
order to allow setting it back to the initial value.

<title>ntp: Audit NTP parameters adjustment</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7e8eda734d30de81d06a949c9bf9853c445ede4e</id>
<content type='text'>
Emit an audit record every time selected NTP parameters are modified
from userspace (via adjtimex(2) or clock_adjtime(2)). These parameters
may be used to indirectly change system clock, and thus their
modifications should be audited.

Such events will now generate records of type AUDIT_TIME_ADJNTPVAL
containing the following fields:
  - op -- which value was adjusted:
    - offset -- corresponding to the time_offset variable
    - freq   -- corresponding to the time_freq variable
    - status -- corresponding to the time_status variable
    - adjust -- corresponding to the time_adjust variable
    - tick   -- corresponding to the tick_usec variable
    - tai    -- corresponding to the timekeeping's TAI offset
  - old -- the old value
  - new -- the new value

Example records:

type=TIME_ADJNTPVAL msg=audit(1530616044.507:7): op=status old=64 new=8256
type=TIME_ADJNTPVAL msg=audit(1530616044.511:11): op=freq old=0 new=49180377088000

The records of this type will be associated with the corresponding
syscall records.

An overview of parameter changes that can be done via do_adjtimex()
(based on information from Miroslav Lichvar) and whether they are
audited:
  __timekeeping_set_tai_offset() -- sets the offset from the
                                    International Atomic Time
                                    (AUDITED)
  NTP variables:
    time_offset -- can adjust the clock by up to 0.5 seconds per call
                   and also speed it up or slow down by up to about
                   0.05% (43 seconds per day) (AUDITED)
    time_freq -- can speed up or slow down by up to about 0.05%
                 (AUDITED)
    time_status -- can insert/delete leap seconds and it also enables/
                   disables synchronization of the hardware real-time
                   clock (AUDITED)
    time_maxerror, time_esterror -- change error estimates used to
                                    inform userspace applications
                                    (NOT AUDITED)
    time_constant -- controls the speed of the clock adjustments that
                     are made when time_offset is set (NOT AUDITED)
    time_adjust -- can temporarily speed up or slow down the clock by up
                   to 0.05% (AUDITED)
    tick_usec -- a more extreme version of time_freq; can speed up or
                 slow down the clock by up to 10% (AUDITED)

<title>timex: use __kernel_timex internally</title>

<content type='text'>
struct timex is not y2038 safe.
Replace all uses of timex with y2038 safe __kernel_timex.

Note that struct __kernel_timex is an ABI interface definition.
We could define a new structure based on __kernel_timex that
is only available internally instead. Right now, there isn't
a strong motivation for this as the structure is isolated to
a few defined struct timex interfaces and such a structure would
be exactly the same as struct timex.

The patch was generated by the following coccinelle script:

Pull y2038 updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "More syscalls and cleanups

  This concludes the main part of the system call rework for 64-bit
  time_t, which has spread over most of year 2018, the last six system
  calls being

    - ppoll
    - pselect6
    - io_pgetevents
    - recvmmsg
    - futex
    - rt_sigtimedwait

  As before, nothing changes for 64-bit architectures, while 32-bit
  architectures gain another entry point that differs only in the layout
  of the timespec structure. Hopefully in the next release we can wire
  up all 22 of those system calls on all 32-bit architectures, which
  gives us a baseline version for glibc to start using them.

  This does not include the clock_adjtime, getrusage/waitid, and
  getitimer/setitimer system calls. I still plan to have new versions of
  those as well, but they are not required for correct operation of the
  C library since they can be emulated using the old 32-bit time_t based
  system calls.

  Aside from the system calls, there are also a few cleanups here,
  removing old kernel internal interfaces that have become unused after
  all references got removed. The arch/sh cleanups are part of this,
  there were posted several times over the past year without a reaction
  from the maintainers, while the corresponding changes made it into all
  other architectures"

After arch/sh has removed the last reference to these functions,
we can remove them completely and just rely on the 64-bit time_t
based versions. This cleans up a rather ugly use of __weak
functions.
