  To: openembedded-core; +Cc: Sakib Sajal

settimeofday(2) has been deprecated as of glibc 2.31
which hwclock makes use of. This patch makes hwclock
compatible with glibc v2.31
See patch for more details:
  busybox/0001-hwclock-make-glibc-2.31-compatible.patch

Fixes [YOCTO #13981]

+Subject: [PATCH] hwclock: make glibc 2.31 compatible
+
+NEWS for glibc version 2.31
+===========================
+
+Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
+
+* The settimeofday function can still be used to set a system-wide
+  time zone when the operating system supports it.  This is because
+  the Linux kernel reused the API, on some architectures, to describe
+  a system-wide time-zone-like offset between the software clock
+  maintained by the kernel, and the "RTC" clock that keeps time when
+  the system is shut down.
+
+  However, to reduce the odds of this offset being set by accident,
+  settimeofday can no longer be used to set the time and the offset
+  simultaneously.  If both of its two arguments are non-null, the call
+  will fail (setting errno to EINVAL).
+
+  Callers attempting to set this offset should also be prepared for
+  the call to fail and set errno to ENOSYS; this already happens on
+  the Hurd and on some Linux architectures.  The Linux kernel
+  maintainers are discussing a more principled replacement for the
+  reused API.  After a replacement becomes available, we will change
+  settimeofday to fail with ENOSYS on all platforms when its 'tzp'
+  argument is not a null pointer.
+
+  settimeofday itself is obsolescent according to POSIX.  Programs
+  that set the system time should use clock_settime and/or the adjtime
+  family of functions instead.  We may cease to make settimeofday
+  available to newly linked binaries after there is a replacement for
+  Linux's time-zone-like offset API.
+
+hwclock had two calls to settimeofday, in functions to_sys_clock and
+set_system_clock_timezone, where both the arguments to settimeofday
+were valid (non-null).
+Therefore, split the call, once for timezone and once for timeval.
+
+Fixes #12756
