[ Upstream commit73ed8e0338] 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); Fixes:9a568de481("tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
