  • CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS allows the kernel to read the system time from the RTC
    at boot and resume, avoiding the need for userspace to do so.
    Unfortunately userspace currently has no way to know whether this
    configuration option is enabled and thus cannot sensibly choose whether to
    run hwclock itself or not. Add a hctosys sysfs attribute which indicates
    whether a given RTC set the system clock.

  • The sysfs interface to the RTC class drivers is currently undocumented.
    Add some basic documentation defining the semantics of the fields.

  • The max_user_freq member is not really meant for RTC drivers to modify, so
    update the rtc documentation so drivers writers know what is expected of
    them when handling periodic events.

  • This fixes a common glitch in how RTC drivers handle two "set alarm" modes,
    by getting rid of the surprising/hidden one that was rarely implemented
    correctly (and which could expose nonportable hardware-specific behavior).

    The glitch comes from the /dev/rtcX logic implementing the legacy
    RTC_ALM_SET (limited to 24 hours, needing RTC_AIE_ON) ioctl on top of the
    RTC driver call providing access to the newer RTC_WKALM_SET (without those
    limitations) by initializing the day/month/year fields to be invalid ...
    that second mode.

    Now, since few RTC drivers check those fields, and most hardware misbehaves
    when faced with invalid date fields, many RTC drivers will set bogus alarm
    times on those RTC_ALM_SET code paths. (Several in-tree drivers have that
    issue, and I also noticed it with code reviews on several new RTC drivers.)

    This patch ensures that RTC drivers never see such invalid alarm fields, by
    moving some logic out of rtc-omap into the RTC_ALM_SET code and adding an
    explicit check (which will prevent the issue on other code paths).

  • Fix typo when describing RTC_WKALM. Add some helpful pointers to people
    developing their own RTC driver. Change a bunch of the error messages in the
    test program to be a bit more helpful.

  • This updates the RTC documentation to summarize the two APIs now available:
    the old PC/AT one, and the new RTC class drivers. It also updates the
    included "rtctest.c" file to better meet Linux style guidelines, and to work
    with the new RTC drivers.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
