ntp: fix non privileged system time shifting

2011-04-04T15:31:23Z

The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time. Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset(). This patch fixes the issue by adding the capability check. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

timekeeping: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev class and sysdev

2011-03-23T21:16:04Z

The timekeeping subsystem uses a sysdev class and a sysdev for executing timekeeping_suspend() after interrupts have been turned off on the boot CPU (during system suspend) and for executing timekeeping_resume() before turning on interrupts on the boot CPU (during system resume). However, since both of these functions ignore their arguments, the entire mechanism may be replaced with a struct syscore_ops object which is simpler. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

posix-clocks: Check write permissions in posix syscalls

2011-03-12T20:27:07Z

pc_clock_settime() and pc_clock_adjtime() do not check whether the fd was opened in write mode, so a clock can be set with a read only fd. [ tglx: We deliberately do not return -EPERM as we want this to be distingushable from the capability based permission check ] Signed-off-by: Torben Hohn LKML-Reference: <1299173174-348-4-git-send-email-torbenh@gmx.de> Cc: Richard Cochran Cc: John Stultz Cc: Thomas Gleixner

clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodic

2011-02-26T08:45:28Z

When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working around an hpet related BIOS wreckage. Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

time: Introduce get_monotonic_boottime and ktime_get_boottime

This adds new functions that return the monotonic time since boot (in other words, CLOCK_MONOTONIC + suspend time). CC: Jamie Lokier CC: Thomas Gleixner CC: Alexander Shishkin CC: Arve Hjønnevåg Signed-off-by: John Stultz

ntp: Remove redundant and incorrect parameter check

2011-02-18T16:01:12Z

The ADJ_SETOFFSET code redundantly checks the range of the nanoseconds field of the time value. This field is checked again in the subsequent call to timekeeping_inject_offset(). Also, as is, the check will not detect whether the number of microseconds is out of range. Let timekeeping_inject_offset() do the error checking.

posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocks

2011-02-02T14:28:20Z

This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver may optionally implement custom character device operations. The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks. The following system calls are affected: - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall) - clock_gettime - clock_getres - clock_settime - timer_create - timer_delete - timer_gettime - timer_settime [ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup. Moved clock_posix_dynamic to posix-clock.c and made all referenced functions static ] Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Acked-by: John Stultz LKML-Reference: <20110201134420.164172635@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
