3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Engraf <david.engraf@sysgo.com>
commit 51fd36f3fad8447c487137ae26b9d0b3ce77bb25 upstream.
One can trigger an overflow when using ktime_add_ns() on a 32bit architecture not supporting CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR.
When passing a very high value for u64 nsec, e.g. 7881299347898368000 the do_div() function converts this value to seconds (7881299347) which is still to high to pass to the ktime_set() function as long. The result in is a negative value.
The problem on my system occurs in the tick-sched.c, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when time_delta is set to timekeeping_max_deferment(). The check for time_delta < KTIME_MAX is valid, thus ktime_add_ns() is called with a too large value resulting in a negative expire value. This leads to an endless loop in the ticker code:
time_delta: 7881299347898368000 expires = ktime_add_ns(last_update, time_delta) expires: negative value
This fix caps the value to KTIME_MAX.
This error doesn't occurs on 64bit or architectures supporting CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR (e.g. ARM, x86-32).
