Subject: [RFC][PATCH -reworked] time: Verify time values in adjtimex ADJ_SETOFFSET to avoid overflow
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>
Make sure the tv_usec makes sense. We might multiply them later which can
cause an overflow and undefined behavior.

Here's my attempt at reworking the patch.
Let me know if you have any thoughts or objections.
thanks
