[PATCH 4.5 085/238] X.509: Fix leap year handling again

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Apr 10 2016 - 14:39:59 EST


4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ac4cbedfdf55455b4c447f17f0fa027dbf02b2a6 upstream.

There are still a couple of minor issues in the X.509 leap year handling:

(1) To avoid doing a modulus-by-400 in addition to a modulus-by-100 when
determining whether the year is a leap year or not, I divided the year
by 100 after doing the modulus-by-100, thereby letting the compiler do
one instruction for both, and then did a modulus-by-4.

Unfortunately, I then passed the now-modified year value to mktime64()
to construct a time value.

Since this isn't a fast path and since mktime64() does a bunch of
divisions, just condense down to "% 400". It's also easier to read.

(2) The default month length for any February where the year doesn't
divide by four exactly is obtained from the month_length[] array where
the value is 29, not 28.

This is fixed by altering the table.
