- Fix a couple of issues in the NTP code where user supplied values are
neither sanity checked nor clamped to the operating range. This results
in integer overflows and eventualy NTP getting out of sync.
According to the history the sanity checks had been removed in favor of
clamping the values, but the clamping never worked correctly under all
circumstances. The NTP people asked to not bring the sanity checks back
as it might break existing applications.
Make the clamping work correctly and add it where it's missing
- If adjtimex() sets the clock it has to trigger the hrtimer subsystem so
it can adjust and if the clock was set into the future expire timers if
needed. The caller should provide a bitmask to tell hrtimers which
clocks have been adjusted. adjtimex() uses not the proper constant and
uses CLOCK_REALTIME instead, which is 0. So hrtimers adjusts only the
clocks, but does not check for expired timers, which might make them
expire really late. Use the proper bitmask constant instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
