Subject: [PATCH 2/3 v3] time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting
Date: Thu,  8 Jun 2017 16:44:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1496965462-20003-3-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1496965462-20003-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org>

Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled,
there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do
accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part
gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures
with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest.

This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns
accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids
the issue for in-kernel users.

Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime
calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors,
but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be
updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its
calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.
