- Core code:
- Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math overflow:
In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.
This can be mitigated by checking the clocksource delta for the
maximum deferrement which is readily available. If that value is
exceeded then the code uses a slowpath function which can handle the
multiplication overflow.
This functionality is enabled unconditionally in the kernel, but made
conditional in the VDSO code. The latter is conditional because it
allows architectures to optimize the check so it is not causing
performance regressions.
On X86 this is achieved by reworking the existing check for negative
TSC deltas as a negative delta obviously exceeds the maximum
deferrement when it is evaluated as an unsigned value. That avoids two
conditionals in the hotpath and allows to hide both the negative delta
and the large delta handling in the same slow path.
- Add an initial minimal ktime_t abstraction for Rust
- The usual boring cleanups and enhancements
- Drivers:
- Boring updates to device trees and trivial enhancements in various
drivers.
