Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: Avoid selecting mult values that might overflow when adjusted
Date: Tue,  8 Nov 2011 18:08:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320804493-25488-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)

For some frequencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will
unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff.  This
has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding
to the mult value.

This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides
an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to
500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could
be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both
check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as
well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over
that 11% boundary.

v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE
messages.

v3: Don't warn before maxadj has actually been set
