timekeeping: Fix overflow in rawtime tv_nsec on 32 bit archs
commit deda2e81961e96be4f2c09328baca4710a2fd1a0 upstream.
The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap
and become negative which later causes looping problems in the
getrawmonotonic(). The edge case occurs when the system has slept for
a short period of time of ~2 seconds.
A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem:
ftrace time stamp: log
43.716079: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec d687faa
43.718513: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec da588bd
43.722161: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec de291d0
46.349925: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 7a122600 tv_nsec e1f9ae3
46.349930: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 1e848980 tv_nsec 8831c0e3
The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to
the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec.
A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it
to a timespec_t.
