In commit fc6eead7c1e2 ("time: Clean up CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW time handling"), I mistakenly added the following:
/* Update the monotonic raw base */ seconds = tk->raw_sec; nsec = (u32)(tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec >> tk->tkr_raw.shift); tk->tkr_raw.base = ns_to_ktime(seconds * NSEC_PER_SEC + nsec); Which adds the raw_sec value and the shifted down raw xtime_nsec to the base value. This is problematic as when calling ktime_get_raw(), we add the tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec and current offset, shift it down and add it to the raw base. This results in the shifted down tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec being added twice. My mistake, was that I was matching the monotonic base logic above: seconds = (u64)(tk->xtime_sec + tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec); nsec = (u32) tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec; tk->tkr_mono.base = ns_to_ktime(seconds * NSEC_PER_SEC + nsec); Which adds the wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec value, but not the tk->tkr_mono.xtime_nsec value to the base. The result of this is that ktime_get_raw() users (which are all internal users) see the raw time move faster then it should (the rate at which can vary with the current size of tkr_raw.xtime_nsec), which has resulted in at least problems with graphics rendering performance. To fix this, we simplify the tkr_raw.base accumulation to only accumulate the raw_sec portion, and do not include the tkr_raw.xtime_nsec portion, which will be added at read time.
