libstdc++: Avoid 32-bit time_t overflows in futex calls
The existing code doesn't check whether the chrono::seconds value is out
of range of time_t. When using a timeout before the epoch (with a
negative value) subtracting the current time (as time_t) and then
assigning it to a time_t can overflow to a large positive value. This
means that we end up waiting several years even though the specific
timeout was in the distant past.
We do have a check for negative timeouts, but that happens after the
conversion to time_t so happens after the overflow.
The conversion to a relative timeout is done in two places, so this
factors it into a new function and adds the overflow checks there.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* src/c++11/futex.cc (relative_timespec): New function to
create relative time from two absolute times.
(__atomic_futex_unsigned_base::_M_futex_wait_until)
(__atomic_futex_unsigned_base::_M_futex_wait_until_steady):
Use relative_timespec.
