From 405b6d5f90dfb3672a06d821ec1ceb35b1a28c83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Dalmas Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 12:16:09 +0000 Subject: ntp: Remove invalid cast in time offset math commit f5807b0606da7ac7c1b74a386b22134ec7702d05 upstream. Due to an unsigned cast, adjtimex() returns the wrong offest when using ADJ_MICRO and the offset is negative. In this case a small negative offset returns approximately 4.29 seconds (~ 2^32/1000 milliseconds) due to the unsigned cast of the negative offset. This cast was added when the kernel internal struct timex was changed to use type long long for the time offset value to address the problem of a 64bit/32bit division on 32bit systems. The correct cast would have been (s32), which is correct as time_offset can only be in the range of [INT_MIN..INT_MAX] because the shift constant used for calculating it is 32. But that's non-obvious. Remove the cast and use div_s64() to cure the issue.
