[PATCH] timekeeping/vsyscall: Prevent math overflow in BOOTTIME update

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Aug 22 2019 - 09:45:38 EST


The VDSO update for CLOCK_BOOTTIME has a overflow issue as it shifts the
nanoseconds based boot time offset left by the clocksource shift. That
overflows once the boot time offset becomes large enough. As a consequence
CLOCK_BOOTTIME in the VDSO becomes a random number causing applications to
misbehave.

Fix it by storing a timespec64 representation of the offset when boot time
is adjusted and add that to the MONOTONIC base time value in the vdso data
page. Using the timespec64 representation avoids a 64bit division in the
update code.

Fixes: 44f57d788e7d ("timekeeping: Provide a generic update_vsyscall() implementation")
