Subject: [PATCH 2/6] timekeeping: Fix 1ns/tick drift with GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:56:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1466452585-29379-3-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1466452585-29379-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org>

From: Thomas Graziadei <thomas.graziadei@omicronenergy.com>

The user notices the problem in a raw and real time drift, calling
clock_gettime with CLOCK_REALTIME / CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW on a system
with no ntp correction taking place (no ntpd or ptp stuff running).

The problem is, that old_vsyscall_fixup adds an extra 1ns even though
xtime_nsec is already held in full nsecs and the remainder in this
case is 0. Do the rounding up buisness only if needed.
