time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive
Two issues were found on an IMX6 development board without an
enabled RTC device(resulting in the boot time and monotonic
time being initialized to 0).
Issue 1:exportfs -a generate:
"exportfs: /opt/nfs/arm does not support NFS export"
Issue 2:cat /proc/stat:
"btime 4294967236"
The same issues can be reproduced on x86 after running the
following code:
int main(void)
{
struct timeval val;
int ret;
val.tv_sec = 0;
val.tv_usec = 0;
ret = settimeofday(&val, NULL);
return 0;
}
Two issues are different symptoms of same problem:
The reason is a positive wall_to_monotonic pushes boot time back
to the time before Epoch, and getboottime will return negative
value.
In symptom 1:
negative boot time cause get_expiry() to overflow time_t
when input expire time is 2147483647, then cache_flush()
always clears entries just added in ip_map_parse.
In symptom 2:
show_stat() uses "unsigned long" to print negative btime
value returned by getboottime.
This patch fix the problem by prohibiting time from being set to a value which
would cause a negative boot time. As a result one can't set the CLOCK_REALTIME
time prior to (1970 + system uptime).
