linux.git/arch/ppc/kernel/time.c, branch v2.6.13 Linux kernel source tree [PATCH] ppc32: stop misusing NTP's time_offset value 2005-07-06T02:18:59+00:00 john stultz johnstul@us.ibm.com 2005-07-06T01:54:44+00:00 f326d22b8cc5bfebfa5b3f6a4066dc737def2234 As part of my timeofday rework, I've been looking at the NTP code and I noticed that the PPC architecture is apparently misusing the NTP's time_offset (it is a terrible name!) value as some form of timezone offset. This could cause problems when time_offset changed by the NTP code. This patch changes the PPC code so it uses a more clear local variable: timezone_offset.

As part of my timeofday rework, I've been looking at the NTP code and I
noticed that the PPC architecture is apparently misusing the NTP's
time_offset (it is a terrible name!) value as some form of timezone offset.

This could cause problems when time_offset changed by the NTP code.  This
patch changes the PPC code so it uses a more clear local variable:
timezone_offset.

make defconfig give the following error on ppc (gcc-4):

arch/ppc/kernel/time.c:92: error: static declaration of ‘time_offset’
follows non-static declaration
include/linux/timex.h:236: error: previous declaration of ‘time_offset’
was here

The following patch solves it (time_offset is declared in timer.c).

[PATCH] ppc32: Fix a problem with NTP on !(chrp||gemini) 2005-04-16T22:24:24+00:00 Giovambattista Pulcini gpulcini@swintel.it 2005-04-16T22:24:24+00:00 54095a6ec7b11a008c07c5016b025206a051f560 The following problem was found by Giovambattista Pulcini <gpulcini@swintel.it>, who also provided a partial patch, and this has been verified by our time guru Gabriel Paubert <paubert@iram.es>. The problem is that in do_settimeofday() we always set time_state to TIME_ERROR and except on two platforms, never re-set it. This meant that ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime() always returned TIME_ERROR, incorrectly. Based on Gabriel's analysis, time_state is used for leap-second processing, and ppc shouldn't be mucking with it.
