Is it really necessary to put this into the changelog?

Not going to happen. We are not reshuffling all that code just to
accomodate random audit log invocations in a critical section plus having a
gazillion of GFP_ATOMIC allocation in the critical section just because.
The whole information can be reconstructed after the fact:
1) Copy the user space supplied struct timex to a buffer
2) Retrieve the current timex information _before_ invoking
do_adjtimex().
3) Look at the ret value and the resulting struct timex which is going
to be copied back to user space and figure out with the help of #1
and #2 what you need to log.
That does not even need a single line of change in the NTP code and almost
everything happens in fully preemptible context.
Thanks,
tglx
