Subject: [PATCH RESEND] time: Fix sleeptime injection for non-stop clocksource & persistent clock

Currently, for both non-stop clocksource and persistent clock
there is a corner case, when a driver failed to go suspend mode
rtc_resume() injects the sleeptime as timekeeping_rtc_skipresume()
returned 'false' due to which we can see mismatch in time between
system clock and other timers.

Success case:
{sleeptime_injected=true}
rtc_suspend() => timekeeping_suspend() => timekeeping_resume() =>
rtc_resume()

Failure case:
{failure in sleep path} {sleeptime_injected=false}
rtc_suspend() => rtc_resume()

I'm not sure this patch makes sense yet (since I don't really see how
its used - mind cc'ing me on the patch that makes use of this?)

And more problematic, the patch doesn't seem to apply to mainline.
Could you respin and resend?

thanks

In a system where both non-stop clocksource and rtc exist

Timestamp mismatch seen between a (Gyro)timer based on non-stop clocksource
and system clock after attempting a sleep.
Here, System clock timestamps increase by some millisecond as compare to
other timer.

And we see this is possible only when timekeeping_resume() has not been
called
which is keeping sleeptime_injected to its default value(false). So, the
call to
timekeeping_rtc_skipresume() in rtc_resume() is false and thats ends up in
sleeptime injection via rtc_resume().


When timekeeping_resume() has not been called means one of the driver failed
during suspend in syscore_suspend() in kernel/power/suspend.c .

So if we let rtc inject the sleeptime here, we would see the timestamp
increase in case of
system clock.

Will spin the patch again with some minor code change.

Thanks,
