enabled, then interrupts don't work for the rtc-cmos driver which results in
RTC_AIE*, RTC_PIE* and RTC_ALM being unusable. This affects hwclock from
util-linux-ng at least on i386 since that uses RTC_PIE_ON. (For x86-64, a
polling method is used for unknown reasons.)
This patch series now
1. export the functions from arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c that the old char/rtc
driver uses to work around that problem,
2. makes it possible to compile the old rtc driver as module, while still
having CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC enabled and
3. makes use of the exported functions in (1) in the new rtc-cmos driver.
This patch:
This patch makes the RTC emulation functions in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c usable
for kernel modules. It
- exports the functions (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()),
- adds an interface to register the interrupt callback function
instead of using only a fixed callback function and
- replaces the rtc_get_rtc_time() function which depends on
CONFIG_RTC with a call to get_rtc_time() which is defined in
include/asm-generic/rtc.h.
The only dependency to CONFIG_RTC is the call to rtc_interrupt() which is
removed by the next patch. After this, there's no (code) dependency of
this functions to CONFIG_RTC=y any more.
