+Subject: ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systems
+
+Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid
+potential multiplication overflows were added in commit
+5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values)
+
+Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of
+LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being
+much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives
+resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/
+EINVAL.
+
+ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so
+the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time
+sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by
+the bug.
+
+See bugs:
+
+  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481
+  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074
+
+This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for
+clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled
+on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always
+larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication
+overflows aren't possible there.
