<content type='text'>
Power management suspend/resume tracing (ab)uses the RTC to store
suspend/resume information persistently. As a consequence the RTC value is
clobbered when timekeeping is resumed and tries to inject the sleep time.

Commit a4f8f6667f09 ("timekeeping: Cap array access in timekeeping_debug")
plugged a out of bounds array access in the timekeeping debug code which
was caused by the clobbered RTC value, but we still use the clobbered RTC
value for sleep time injection into kernel timekeeping, which will result
in random adjustments depending on the stored "hash" value.

To prevent this keep track of the RTC clobbering and ignore the invalid RTC
timestamp at resume. If the system resumed successfully clear the flag,
which marks the RTC as unusable, warn the user about the RTC clobber and
recommend to adjust the RTC with 'ntpdate' or 'rdate'.

[jstultz: Fixed up pr_warn formating, and implemented suggestions from Ingo]

<title>char/genrtc: x86: remove remnants of asm/rtc.h</title>

Commit 3195ef59cb42 ("x86: Do full rtc synchronization with ntp") had
the side-effect of unconditionally enabling the RTC_LIB symbol on x86,
which in turn disables the selection of the CONFIG_RTC and
CONFIG_GEN_RTC drivers that contain a two older implementations of
the CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS driver.

This removes x86 from the list for genrtc, and changes all references
to the asm/rtc.h header to instead point to the interfaces
from linux/mc146818rtc.h.

As per hpa CE4100 platforms can also disable pnpbios:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5702B5C2.7070101@zytor.com

Then Sebastian also recently noted that CE4100 also disables
RTC probe, to do that Sebastian had long ago added the RTC
of_have_populated_dt() check, he noted that it was meant to
skip the RTC probe on all OF platforms but as of now, CE4100
was the only x86 DT using this.

We can just fold this requirement into the platform quirk
then. This now means that all of these  match platform quirks
for pnpbios and RTC preferences:

  * X86_SUBARCH_XEN
  * X86_SUBARCH_LGUEST
  * X86_SUBARCH_INTEL_MID
  * X86_SUBARCH_CE4100

<title>x86/ACPI: Move ACPI_FADT_NO_CMOS_RTC check to ACPI boot code</title>

This moves the ACPI specific check into the ACPI boot code,
it also takes advantage of the x86_platform.legacy.rtc which
is checked for already on the RTC initialization code. This
lets us remove the nasty #ifdefery and consolidate the checks
to use only one toggle to disable the RTC init code.

The works as RTC is initialized by device_initcall(add_rtc_cmos),
this will run late in boot on start_kernel() during rest_init(),
acpi_parse_fadt() gets called earlier during setup_arch().

<title>x86/rtc: Replace paravirt rtc check with platform legacy quirk</title>

<id>8d152e7a5c7537b18b4e9e0eb96f549b016636dc</id>
<content type='text'>
We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:

  * Intel MID
  * Lguest - uses paravirt
  * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
  * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag

We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.

For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.

As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:

TOTAL   TEXT   init.text    x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70     +62    +62          +43

Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

<title>x86/paravirt: Prevent rtc_cmos platform device init on PV guests</title>

<content type='text'>
Adding the rtc platform device in non-privileged Xen PV guests causes
an IRQ conflict because these guests do not have legacy PIC and may
allocate irqs in the legacy range.

In a single VCPU Xen PV guest we should have:

/proc/interrupts:
           CPU0
  0:       4934  xen-percpu-virq      timer0
  1:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       spinlock0
  2:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       resched0
  3:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       callfunc0
  4:          0  xen-percpu-virq      debug0
  5:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       callfuncsingle0
  6:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       irqwork0
  7:        321   xen-dyn-event     xenbus
  8:         90   xen-dyn-event     hvc_console
  ...

But hvc_console cannot get its interrupt because it is already in use
by rtc0 and the console does not work.

  genirq: Flags mismatch irq 8. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs. 00000000 (rtc0)

We can avoid this problem by realizing that unprivileged PV guests (both
Xen and lguests) are not supposed to have rtc_cmos device and so
adding it is not necessary.

Privileged guests (i.e. Xen's dom0) do use it but they should not have
irq conflicts since they allocate irqs above legacy range (above
gsi_top, in fact).

Instead of explicitly testing whether the guest is privileged we can
extend pv_info structure to include information about guest's RTC
support.

<title>kernel.h: remove ancient __FUNCTION__ hack</title>

__FUNCTION__ hasn't been treated as a string literal since gcc 3.4, so
this only helps people who only test-compile using 3.3 (compiler-gcc3.h
barks at anything older than that).  Besides, there are almost no
occurrences of __FUNCTION__ left in the tree.

Pull x86/intel-mid changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Update the 'intel mid' (mobile internet device) platform code as Intel
  is rolling out more SoC designs.

  This gets rid of most of the 'MRST' platform code in the process,
  mostly by renaming and shuffling code around into their respective
  'intel-mid' platform drivers"

* 'x86-intel-mid-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86, intel-mid: Do not re-introduce usage of obsolete __cpuinit
  intel_mid: Move platform device setups to their own platform_&lt;device&gt;.* files
  x86: intel-mid: Add section for sfi device table
  intel-mid: sfi: Allow struct devs_id.get_platform_data to be NULL
  intel_mid: Moved SFI related code to sfi.c
  intel_mid: Added custom handler for ipc devices
  intel_mid: Added custom device_handler support
  intel_mid: Refactored sfi_parse_devs() function
  intel_mid: Renamed *mrst* to *intel_mid*
  pci: intel_mid: Return true/false in function returning bool
  intel_mid: Renamed *mrst* to *intel_mid*
  mrst: Fixed indentation issues
  mrst: Fixed printk/pr_* related issues

Even though the omission was found only during code review
(originally in the Xen hypervisor, looking through ACPI v5 flags
and their meanings and uses), we shouldn't be creating a
corresponding platform device in that case.
