[PATCH] Normalize timespec for negative values in ns_to_timespec

2006-02-03T16:32:06Z

- In case of a negative nsec value the result of the division must be normalized. - Remove inline from an exported function. Signed-off-by: George Anzinger Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Don't try to "validate" a non-existing timeval.

2006-01-31T18:16:55Z

settime() with a NULL timeval is silly but legal. Noticed by Dave Jones Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] move capable() to capability.h

2006-01-12T02:42:13Z

- Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h; - Use where capable() is used (in include/, block/, ipc/, kernel/, a few drivers/, mm/, security/, & sound/; many more drivers/ to go) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] hrtimer: introduce nsec_t type and conversion functions

2006-01-10T16:01:37Z

- introduce the nsec_t type - basic nsec conversion routines: timespec_to_ns(), timeval_to_ns(), ns_to_timespec(), ns_to_timeval(). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] hrtimer: validate timespec of do_sys_settimeofday

2006-01-10T16:01:37Z

Check if the timespec which is provided from user space is normalized. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] hrtimer: export deinlined mktime

2006-01-10T16:01:35Z

This is now uninlined, but some modules use it. Make it a non-GPL export, since the inlined mktime() was also available that way.

[PATCH] hrtimer: clean up mktime and make arguments const

2006-01-10T16:01:35Z

add 'const' to mktime arguments, and clean it up a bit Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] hrtimer: deinline mktime and set_normalized_timespec

2006-01-10T16:01:35Z

mktime() and set_normalized_timespec() are large inline functions used in many places: deinline them. From: George Anzinger, off-by-1 bugfix Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add getnstimestamp function

2005-12-12T16:57:42Z

There are several functions that might seem appropriate for a timestamp: get_cycles() current_kernel_time() do_gettimeofday() Each has problems with combinations of SMP-safety, low resolution, and monotonicity. This patch adds a new function that returns a monotonic SMP-safe timestamp with nanosecond resolution where available. Changes: Split timestamp into separate patch Moved to kernel/time.c Renamed to getnstimestamp Fixed unintended-pointer-arithmetic bug Signed-off-by: Matt Helsley Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
