I'm not sure how we get to the RCU stall, but this is almost certainly another
symptom of a typo I had introduced in the patch, which others have also
reported. This is the the fix in today's linux-next:
--- a/kernel/time/time.c
+++ b/kernel/time/time.c
@@ -207,7 +207,7 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE2(settimeofday, struct
__kernel_old_timeval __user *, tv,
get_user(new_ts.tv_nsec, &tv->tv_usec))
return -EFAULT;
- if (tv->tv_usec > USEC_PER_SEC)
+ if (new_ts->tv_usec > USEC_PER_SEC)
return -EINVAL;
new_ts.tv_nsec *= NSEC_PER_USEC;
