This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled s390/time: fix sched_clock() overflow to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 37f8e9ab849758086ced028a7ddd55e65d918d35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:55:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] s390/time: fix sched_clock() overflow commit ed4f20943cd4c7b55105c04daedf8d63ab6d499c upstream. Converting a 64 Bit TOD format value to nanoseconds means that the value must be divided by 4.096. In order to achieve that we multiply with 125 and divide by 512. When used within sched_clock() this triggers an overflow after appr. 417 days. Resulting in a sched_clock() return value that is much smaller than previously and therefore may cause all sort of weird things in subsystems that rely on a monotonic sched_clock() behaviour. To fix this implement a tod_to_ns() helper function which converts TOD values without overflow and call this function from both places that open coded the conversion: sched_clock() and kvm_s390_handle_wait().
