Bug ID: 61171
Summary: adjtimex(2): incomplete description of the struct
timex
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
Reporter: matwey.kornilov-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org
Regression: No
Hi,
I am using 3.46 release of man-pages under openSUSE 12.3.
man adjtimex(2) says that struct timex has a member:
struct timeval time; /* current time (read-only) */
implying that timeval has two fields: seconds and microseconds (as it described
in many places, for instance GLIBC documentation). This misinforms people, and
explicit behavior must be reported.
Inspection of kernel/time/ntp.c (as for linux 3.7) demonstrates that the second
field timex.time.tv_usec may contain nanoseconds instead of microseconds. When
timex.status STA_NANO flag is not set, this field contains microseconds, as one
expects.
The previous is still also true for timex.offset which is stated to be in units
of usec. Units of offset also depend on STA_NANO flag.

Do you suggest that we edit the man page of adjtimex?

Created attachment 140071
--> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=140071&action=edit
Added information about variables of timeval structure and different units of
time used by them
Hope this is the required patch.

Matwey, thanks for the report. Tina, thanks for the patch.
The bigger problem is that the adjtimex(2) is hugely out of date, and in any
case very thin on the details. The nanosecond aspect is rather more complex
than is captured in the patch, as far as I can see. I will work on some updates
to the page.

Some months ago, I made same changes to the man page which I think should cover
the concerns in this report. So, closing now.
