Updates for time keeping:
- Fix a couple of issues in the NTP code where user supplied values are
neither sanity checked nor clamped to the operating range. This results
in integer overflows and eventualy NTP getting out of sync.
According to the history the sanity checks had been removed in favor of
clamping the values, but the clamping never worked correctly under all
circumstances. The NTP people asked to not bring the sanity checks back
as it might break existing applications.
Make the clamping work correctly and add it where it's missing
- If adjtimex() sets the clock it has to trigger the hrtimer subsystem so
it can adjust and if the clock was set into the future expire timers if
needed. The caller should provide a bitmask to tell hrtimers which
clocks have been adjusted. adjtimex() uses not the proper constant and
uses CLOCK_REALTIME instead, which is 0. So hrtimers adjusts only the
clocks, but does not check for expired timers, which might make them
expire really late. Use the proper bitmask constant instead.
