From 83a06bf50bdf2074b9404951ff60e142d159d93b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Roberto Jimenez Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 16:04:02 -0200 Subject: RTC: Prevents a division by zero in kernel code. This patch prevents a user space program from calling the RTC_IRQP_SET ioctl with a negative value of frequency. Also, if this call is make with a zero value of frequency, there would be a division by zero in the kernel code.
