Commit: 2aae950b21e4bc789d1fc6668faf67e8748300b7 With new vdso gettimeofday support in glibc:
[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262481] After 5 minutes of uptime, the system clock goes screwy. When running a simple 'while /bin/true ; date ; uptime ; sleep 2 ; done' loop: Wed Aug 29 01:01:14 EDT 2007 01:01:14 up 4 min, 4 users, load average: 0.13, 0.40, 0.21 Wed Aug 29 01:01:16 EDT 2007 01:01:16 up 4 min, 4 users, load average: 0.13, 0.40, 0.21 Wed Aug 29 02:09:36 EDT 2007 01:01:18 up 5 min, 4 users, load average: 0.12, 0.39, 0.21 Wed Aug 29 02:09:38 EDT 2007 01:01:20 up 5 min, 4 users, load average: 0.12, 0.39, 0.21 Wed Aug 29 02:09:40 EDT 2007 01:01:22 up 5 min, 4 users, load average: 0.19, 0.40, 0.22 At the 5 minute mark, the time jumps forward an hour as reported by date, *even though the kernel variant appears to be unchanged*. If you then try and reset the time (with 'date -s "01:04"): Wed Aug 29 02:11:06 EDT 2007 01:02:48 up 6 min, 4 users, load average: 0.99, 0.60, 0.30 Wed Aug 29 02:12:19 EDT 2007 01:04:01 up 6 min, 4 users, load average: 0.99, 0.60, 0.30 Wed Aug 29 02:12:21 EDT 2007 01:04:03 up 6 min, 4 users, load average: 0.99, 0.61, 0.30 the kernel's date (as seen by uptime) is correctly set, but the date as returned by /bin/date remains wrong (although it changes by the same amount.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
