[PATCH stable 4.9] posix-timers: Sanitize overrun handling

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Thu Nov 01 2018 - 16:02:50 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 78c9c4dfbf8c04883941445a195276bb4bb92c76 ]

The posix timer overrun handling is broken because the forwarding functions
can return a huge number of overruns which does not fit in an int. As a
consequence timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun can turn into
random number generators.

The k_clock::timer_forward() callbacks return a 64 bit value now. Make
k_itimer::ti_overrun[_last] 64bit as well, so the kernel internal
accounting is correct. 3Remove the temporary (int) casts.

Add a helper function which clamps the overrun value returned to user space
via timer_getoverrun(2) or siginfo::si_overrun limited to a positive value
between 0 and INT_MAX. INT_MAX is an indicator for user space that the
overrun value has been clamped.

Thomas, can you review for correctness? Thanks!
