ntp is currently hardwired to try and call the rtc set when wall clock tv_nsec is 0.5 seconds. This historical behaviour works well with certain PC RTCs, but is not universal to all rtc hardware. Change how this works by introducing the driver specific concept of set_offset_nsec, the delay between current wall clock time and the target time to set (with a 0 tv_nsecs). For x86-style CMOS set_offset_nsec should be -0.5 s which causes the last second to be written 0.5 s after it has started. For compat with the old rtc_set_ntp_time, the value is defaulted to + 0.5 s, which causes the next second to be written 0.5s before it starts, as things were before this patch. Testing shows many non-x86 RTCs would like set_offset_nsec ~= 0, so ultimately each RTC driver should set the set_offset_nsec according to its needs, and non x86 architectures should stop using update_persistent_clock64 in order to access this feature. Future patches will revise the drivers as needed. Since CMOS and RTC now have very different handling they are split into two dedicated code paths, sharing the support code, and ifdefs are replaced with IS_ENABLED.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
