[PATCH] rtc: Fix some bugs that allowed accumulating time drift in suspend/resume

From: Arve HjÃnnevÃg
Date: Tue Nov 22 2011 - 21:25:25 EST


The current code checks if abs(delta_delta.tv_sec) is greater or
equal to two before it discards the old delta value, but this can
trigger at close to -1 seconds since -1.000000001 seconds is stored
as tv_sec -2 and tv_nsec 999999999 in a normalized timespec.

rtc_resume had an early return check if the rtc value had not changed
since rtc_suspend. This effectivly stops time for the duration of the
short sleep. Check if sleep_time is positive after all the adjustments
have been applied instead since this allows the old_system adjustment
in rtc_suspend to have an effect even for short sleep cycles.
