This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cputime: Prevent 32bit overflow in time[val|spec]_to_cputime() to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cputime-prevent-32bit-overflow-in-time_to_cputime.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0f26922fe5dc5724b1adbbd54b21bad03590b4f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zengtao <prime.zeng@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2016 11:38:34 +0800 Subject: cputime: Prevent 32bit overflow in time[val|spec]_to_cputime() From: zengtao <prime.zeng@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0f26922fe5dc5724b1adbbd54b21bad03590b4f3 upstream. The datatype __kernel_time_t is u32 on 32bit platform, so its subject to overflows in the timeval/timespec to cputime conversion. Currently the following functions are affected: 1. setitimer() 2. timer_create/timer_settime() 3. sys_clock_nanosleep This can happen on MIPS32 and ARM32 with "Full dynticks CPU time accounting" enabled, which is required for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. Enforce u64 conversion to prevent the overflow.
