From our investigation for all RTC drivers, 1 driver will be expired before year 2017, 7 drivers will be expired before year 2038, 23 drivers will be expired before year 2069, 72 drivers will be expired before 2100 and 104 drivers will be expired before 2106. Especially for these early expired drivers, we need to expand the RTC range to make the RTC can still work after the expired year. So we can expand the RTC range by adding one offset to the time when reading from hardware, and subtracting it when writing back. For example, if you have an RTC that can do 100 years, and currently is configured to be based in Jan 1 1970, so it can represents times from 1970 to 2069. Then if you change the start year from 1970 to 2000, which means it can represents times from 2000 to 2099. By adding or subtracting the offset produced by moving the wrap point, all times between 1970 and 1999 from RTC hardware could get interpreted as times from 2070 to 2099, but the interpretation of dates between 2000 and 2069 would not change.

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.
