[PATCH] timekeeping: Fix bogus clock_was_set() invocation in do_adjtimex()

[Thomas Gleixner]

The addition of the bases argument to clock_was_set() fixed up all call
sites correctly except for do_adjtimex(). This uses CLOCK_REALTIME
instead of CLOCK_SET_WALL as argument. CLOCK_REALTIME is 0.

As a result the effect of that clock_was_set() notification is incomplete
and might result in timers expiring late because the hrtimer code does
not re-evaluate the affected clock bases.

Use CLOCK_SET_WALL instead of CLOCK_REALTIME to tell the hrtimers code
which clock bases need to be re-evaluated.

My only thought here is maybe renaming CLOCK_SET_WALL and
CLOCK_SET_BOOT to something like:
  BASEMASK_WALL_CLOCK_SET and BASEMASK_BOOT_CLOCK_SET

Just to avoid future naming mixups or confusion with clockids?

Makes sense. Care to whip up a patch?

[PATCH] time: Rename CLOCK_SET_* as BASEMASK_*_CLOCK_SET

[John Stultz]

In commit 5916be8a53de ("timekeeping: Fix bogus clock_was_set()
invocation in do_adjtimex()"), Thomas fixed a bug where instead
of passing one of the CLOCK_SET_* values to clock_was_set(),a
conceptually related clockid (CLOCK_REALTIME) was incorrectly
passed.

Just to make this type of accident less likely, lets rename the
base masks used by clock_was_set() to something that doesn't
resemble a clockid.

Thus:
CLOCK_SET_WALL -> BASEMASK_WALL_CLOCK_SET
CLOCK_SET_BOOT -> BASEMASK_BOOT_CLOCK_SET

I don't think that's the actual problem. What's the confusing part is
the function name itself clock_was_set().

Renaming that to at the same time to something unambiguous would be
helpful.

hrtimer_refresh_bases() or something like that should be descriptive
enough.
