Thanks again for the bug report. I was able to reproduce it using the jiffies clocksource. Looking at the code after a weekend of decent sleep, I see the max_adjustment calculation is simply wrong (it was proportional to the shift, not the mult - but adjustments are made on mult).
This version simplifies the calculation and improves warn-on messages so we also catch any overflow potential on clocksources that don't use the clocksource_register_hz/khz interfaces.
Ingo: could you give it a whirl on your test box and verify it doesn't have any trouble?
Yong: Can you also give this a test run to make sure you don't see any problems?
thanks -john

For some frequqencies, the clocks_calc_mult_shift() function will unfortunately select mult values very close to 0xffffffff. This has the potential to overflow when NTP adjusts the clock, adding to the mult value.
This patch adds a clocksource.maxadj value, which provides an approximation of an 11% adjustment(NTP limits adjustments to 500ppm and the tick adjustment is limited to 10%), which could be made to the clocksource.mult value. This is then used to both check that the current mult value won't overflow/underflow, as well as warning us if the timekeeping_adjust() code pushes over that 11% boundary.
v2: Fix max_adjustment calculation, and improve WARN_ONCE messages.
