From f065f41f48569122b5bcddbd1ba2354f7cc29fdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Song <21cnbao@gmail.com> Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:45:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] timecompare: fix half-Y2K38 problem in timecompare_update while calculating offset ktime will overflow from 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038, ktime_add() in timecompare_update() will overflow a half earlier. As a result, wrong offset will be gotten, then cause some strange problems. Signed-off-by: Barry Song <21cnbao@gmail.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Patrick Ohly Cc: David S.
