[rtc-linux] [PATCH 0/2][RFC v6] Ignore bogus sleep time if pm_trace is enabled

[rtc-linux] [PATCH 0/2][RFC v6] Ignore bogus sleep time if pm_trace is enabled

[Chen Yu]

This patch set is based on Thomas's previous solution, to bypass
the bogus CMOS-RTC sleep time after resumed, thus to avoid damage
to timekeeping system. The bogus sleep time comes from pm_trace,
which might use CMOS-RTC for debugging purpose.

Meanwhile, a solution to save/restore of CMOS-RTC is also proposed to give
better user experience. 

Chen Yu (2):
  timekeeping: Ignore the bogus sleep time if pm_trace is enabled
  PM / sleep: save/restore RTC time after resumed if pm_trace enabled

[rtc-linux] [PATCH 1/2][RFC v6] timekeeping: Ignore the bogus sleep time if pm_trace is enabled

[Chen Yu]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Previously we encountered some memory overflow issues due to
the bogus sleep time brought by inconsistent rtc, which is
triggered when pm_trace is enabled, and we have fixed it
in recent kernel. However it's improper in the first place
to call __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime() in case that pm_trace
is enabled simply because that "hash" time value will wreckage
the timekeeping subsystem.

This patch is to bypass the bogus rtc interval when pm_trace is enabled.
