Subject: timecompare: fix half-Y2K38 problem in timecompare_update while calculating offset
X-Git-Url: http://git.mmlx.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f065f41f48569122b5bcddbd1ba2354f7cc29fdc;p=linux-edison.git

timecompare: fix half-Y2K38 problem in timecompare_update while calculating offset

ktime will overflow from 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038,
ktime_add() in timecompare_update() will overflow a half earlier.  As a
result, wrong offset will be gotten, then cause some strange problems.
