Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 5/9] um: time-travel: fix time corruption

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit abe4eaa8618bb36c2b33e9cdde0499296a23448c ]

In 'basic' time-travel mode (without =inf-cpu or =ext), we
still get timer interrupts. These can happen at arbitrary
points in time, i.e. while in timer_read(), which pushes
time forward just a little bit. Then, if we happen to get
the interrupt after calculating the new time to push to,
but before actually finishing that, the interrupt will set
the time to a value that's incompatible with the forward,
and we'll crash because time goes backwards when we do the
forwarding.

Fix this by reading the time_travel_time, calculating the
adjustment, and doing the adjustment all with interrupts
disabled.
