Subject: [PATCH RESEND] vdso/gettimeofday: Assert that the clockid fits into the u32 bitmask
Date: Tue,  3 Nov 2026 11:44:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103034436.1521751-1-zhanxusheng1024@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Zhan Xusheng <zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com>

__cvdso_clock_gettime_common() and __cvdso_clock_getres_common() turn the
clockid into a bitmask:

	msk = 1U << clock;

The shift count stays in range because vdso_clockid_valid() rejects
anything above CLOCK_AUX_LAST, which is 23.  Nothing records that, so
raising MAX_AUX_CLOCKS past 16 would take CLOCK_AUX_LAST to 32 and make
the shift undefined.

Assert it in vdso_clockid_valid(), which is where the bound comes from
and covers both conversion sites.

8 * sizeof(u32) rather than BITS_PER_TYPE(): the latter lives in
linux/bits.h, which lib/vdso/gettimeofday.c only reaches on
architectures whose asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h happens to pull it in.

MAX_AUX_CLOCKS=16 still builds, 17 trips the assert.

Resending since 7.4-rc1 is out. This replaces v7 5/5 of

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261002153104.1347978-1-zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com/

1-3 of that series are in 7.4-rc1; 4/5 is no longer needed. It now
asserts on CLOCK_AUX_LAST in vdso_clockid_valid(), as suggested.
