tcp: fix cookie_init_timestamp() overflows

Browse source

cookie_init_timestamp() is supposed to return a 64bit timestamp
suitable for both TSval determination and setting of skb->tstamp.

Unfortunately it uses 32bit fields and overflows after
2^32 * 10^6 nsec (~49 days) of uptime.

Generated TSval are still correct, but skb->tstamp might be set
far away in the past, potentially confusing other layers.

tcp_ns_to_ts() is changed to return a full 64bit value,
ts and ts_now variables are changed to u64 type,
and TSMASK is removed in favor of shifts operations.

While we are at it, change this sequence:
		ts >>= TSBITS;
		ts--;
		ts <<= TSBITS;
		ts |= options;
to:
		ts -= (1UL << TSBITS);

Fixes: 9a568de481 ("tcp: switch TCP TS option (RFC 7323) to 1ms clock")
