Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] add ktime_sub_safe() to avoid undefined behaviour

When I ran Syzkaller testsuite, I got some UBSAN warnings with
ktime_sub().

Instead of putting overflow checks into each place, add a function
which does the sanity checking and convert all affected callers to use
it.

Hongbo Yao (2):
  ktime: add ktime_sub_safe() to avoid undefined behaviour
  hrtimer: Prevent overflow for relative refrences
