[PATCH v2 1/2] wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: Fix GP2 to nanoseconds overflow on 32-bit

From: Zhan Xusheng

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 01:02:10 EST


scale_update_gp2 and gp2_on_air_rise are u32 GP2 timestamps in
microseconds. NSEC_PER_USEC is 1000L, so on 32-bit the products are
computed in 32-bit arithmetic and truncated before being widened:

u64 last_gp2_ns = mvm->ptp_data.scale_update_gp2 * NSEC_PER_USEC;

A GP2 value above (U32_MAX / 1000) us, i.e. 4.295 s, wraps. GP2 is a
free-running counter that wraps every 2^32 us, so almost its whole range
is affected and the PTP clock jumps.

The neighbouring conversions in the same files already cast:

gp2_ns = iwl_mvm_ptp_get_adj_time(mvm, (u64)gp2 * NSEC_PER_USEC);

Cast the remaining ones the same way. The i386 build of
iwl_mvm_ptp_get_adj_time() changes from "imul $0x3e8,...,%ecx" to
"mull", i.e. from a 32-bit product to a 32x32->64 one.

mvm/ptp.c:219 is already u64 and needs no change.

Fixes: a2f49f7d52a9 ("wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: implement PHC clock adjustments")
Fixes: 0e49e940d1bc ("wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: add an option to use ptp clock for rx timestamp")
