timekeeping/vsyscall: Prevent math overflow in BOOTTIME update

2019-08-23T00:12:11Z

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.

timekeeping/vsyscall: Use __iter_div_u64_rem()

2019-07-10T18:37:49Z

On 32-bit x86 when building with clang-9, the 'division' loop gets turned back into an inefficient division that causes a link error: kernel/time/vsyscall.o: In function `update_vsyscall': vsyscall.c:(.text+0xe3): undefined reference to `__udivdi3' Use the existing __iter_div_u64_rem() function which is used to address the same issue in other places.

timekeeping: Provide a generic update_vsyscall() implementation

2019-06-22T19:21:06Z

The new generic VDSO library allows to unify the update_vsyscall[_tz]() implementations. Provide a generic implementation based on the x86 code and the bindings which need to be implemented in architecture specific code. [ tglx: Moved it into kernel/time where it belongs.
