From d65670a78cdbfae94f20a9e05ec705871d7cdf2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:06:35 -0400 Subject: clocksource: Avoid selecting mult values that might overflow when adjusted 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 CC: Yong Zhang CC: David Daney CC: Thomas Gleixner CC: Chen Jie CC: zhangfx CC: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Chen Jie Reported-by: zhangfx Tested-by: Yong Zhang Signed-off-by: John Stultz --- include/linux/clocksource.h | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/clocksource.h b/include/linux/clocksource.h index 139c4db55f1..c86c940d1de 100644 --- a/include/linux/clocksource.h +++ b/include/linux/clocksource.h @@ -156,6 +156,7 @@ extern u64 timecounter_cyc2time(struct timecounter *tc, * @mult: cycle to nanosecond multiplier * @shift: cycle to nanosecond divisor (power of two) * @max_idle_ns: max idle time permitted by the clocksource (nsecs) + * @maxadj maximum adjustment value to mult (~11%) * @flags: flags describing special properties * @archdata: arch-specific data * @suspend: suspend function for the clocksource, if necessary @@ -172,7 +173,7 @@ struct clocksource { u32 mult; u32 shift; u64 max_idle_ns; - + u32 maxadj; #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CLOCKSOURCE_DATA struct arch_clocksource_data archdata; #endif -- cgit v1.2.3
