Subject: [PATCH 3.14 16/77] time: settimeofday: Validate the values of tv from user
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>
commit 6ada1fc0e1c4775de0e043e1bd3ae9d065491aa5 upstream.
An unvalidated user input is multiplied by a constant, which can result in
an undefined behaviour for large values. While this is validated later,
we should avoid triggering undefined behaviour.
