Convert tod_clock_base to union tod_clock. This simplifies quite a bit
of code and also fixes a bug in read_persistent_clock64();
void read_persistent_clock64(struct timespec64 *ts)
{
__u64 delta;
delta = initial_leap_seconds + TOD_UNIX_EPOCH;
get_tod_clock_ext(clk);
*(__u64 *) &clk[1] -= delta;
if (*(__u64 *) &clk[1] > delta)
clk[0]--;
ext_to_timespec64(clk, ts);
}
Assume &clk[1] == 3 and delta == 2; then after the substraction the if
condition becomes true and the epoch part of the clock is decremented
by one because of an assumed overflow, even though there is none.
Fix this by using 128 bit arithmetics and let the compiler do the
right thing:
void read_persistent_clock64(struct timespec64 *ts)
{
union tod_clock clk;
u64 delta;
delta = initial_leap_seconds + TOD_UNIX_EPOCH;
store_tod_clock_ext(&clk);
clk.eitod -= delta;
ext_to_timespec64(&clk, ts);
}

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
