Subject: [03/11] ppc32: stop misusing ntps time_offset value
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 11:42:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050713184232.GD9330@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050713184130.GA9330@kroah.com>

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>

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.
