hrtimer: Fix ktime_add_ns() overflow on 32bit architectures
commit 51fd36f upstream.
One can trigger an overflow when using ktime_add_ns() on a 32bit
architecture not supporting CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR.
When passing a very high value for u64 nsec, e.g. 7881299347898368000
the do_div() function converts this value to seconds (7881299347) which
is still to high to pass to the ktime_set() function as long. The result
in is a negative value.
The problem on my system occurs in the tick-sched.c,
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when time_delta is set to
timekeeping_max_deferment(). The check for time_delta < KTIME_MAX is
valid, thus ktime_add_ns() is called with a too large value resulting in
a negative expire value. This leads to an endless loop in the ticker code:
time_delta: 7881299347898368000
expires = ktime_add_ns(last_update, time_delta)
expires: negative value
This fix caps the value to KTIME_MAX.
This error doesn't occurs on 64bit or architectures supporting
CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR (e.g. ARM, x86-32).
