Subject: compat_sys_times() bogus until jiffies >= 0.
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 14:47:22 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071107224722.GA20204@old.davidb.org> (raw)
compat_sys_times() has bogus return until jiffies is >= 0. I discovered
this running LTP within 5 minutes of booting.
The return result
return compat_jiffies_to_clock_t(jiffies);
will return '-1' to user space and set the negated clock_t value to errno.
I'm not sure what the correct fix for this is. I can come up with a patch
if anyone has ideas on how to fix it.
At minimum, perhaps it should return a sane errno value.
Thanks,
David Brown
