[ Upstream commit 73ed8e03388d16c12fc577e5c700b58a29045a15 ]
cookie_init_timestamp() is supposed to return a 64bit timestamp
suitable for both TSval determination and setting of skb->tstamp.
Unfortunately it uses 32bit fields and overflows after
2^32 * 10^6 nsec (~49 days) of uptime.
Generated TSval are still correct, but skb->tstamp might be set
far away in the past, potentially confusing other layers.
tcp_ns_to_ts() is changed to return a full 64bit value,
ts and ts_now variables are changed to u64 type,
and TSMASK is removed in favor of shifts operations.
While we are at it, change this sequence:
ts >>= TSBITS;
ts--;
ts <<= TSBITS;
ts |= options;
to:
ts -= (1UL << TSBITS);

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 Restructured Text 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.
