Public bug reported: Hi, pals: we found a coredump when we do ssh connection. the basic information as follow: the stack trace in coredump: (gdb) bt #0 0x20007510 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x2000c718 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x2053d42c in __mulvsi3 (a=, b=) at /home/l00194794/yocto/c08_sdk/sdk/build/script/cpu_hcc/ppc-linux/../../../toolchain_soft/ppc-linux/src/gcc-4.7.1/libgcc/libgcc2.c:159 #3 0x2050d030 in ms_subtract_diff (start=start@entry=0xbfa20a9c, ms=0x48027c40, ms@entry=0xbfa20a98) at misc.c:871 #4 0x204d2568 in ssh_exchange_identification (timeout_ms=timeout_ms@entry=5000) at sshconnect.c:580 #5 0x204d3e3c in ssh_login (sensitive=sensitive@entry=0x20586ea8, orighost=, hostaddr=hostaddr@entry=0x20586e28, port=, pw=pw@entry=0x20589ae8, timeout_ms=5000) at sshconnect.c:1346 #6 0x204c433c in main (ac=, av=) at ssh.c:1326
the direct cause of the coredump, is that the function __mulvsi3 in gcc checked the plus operation is overflow, then this gcc function abort(). the reason of the overflow is cause by the time-setting operation when do ssh connect. in function ms_subtract_diff . the timeoutp get a very big value because of the time-change. So could we add a limitation for the differ of the 2 values get from gettimeofday ? if it's too big, would lead to overflow, we set a default value and report a warning log. thanks for you attention and expect your reply.
