Linus Torvalds 2d9db778dd Timers and timekeeping updates:
- Core code:
 
    - Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math overflow:
 
      In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
      defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.
 
      This can be mitigated by checking the clocksource delta for the
      maximum deferrement which is readily available. If that value is
      exceeded then the code uses a slowpath function which can handle the
      multiplication overflow.
 
      This functionality is enabled unconditionally in the kernel, but made
      conditional in the VDSO code. The latter is conditional because it
      allows architectures to optimize the check so it is not causing
      performance regressions.
 
      On X86 this is achieved by reworking the existing check for negative
      TSC deltas as a negative delta obviously exceeds the maximum
      deferrement when it is evaluated as an unsigned value. That avoids two
      conditionals in the hotpath and allows to hide both the negative delta
      and the large delta handling in the same slow path.
 
    - Add an initial minimal ktime_t abstraction for Rust
 
    - The usual boring cleanups and enhancements
 
  - Drivers:
 
    - Boring updates to device trees and trivial enhancements in various
      drivers.

 "Core code:

   - Make timekeeping and VDSO time readouts resilent against math
     overflow:

     In guest context the kernel is prone to math overflow when the host
     defers the timer interrupt due to overload, malfunction or malice.
