[PATCH 1/5] time: Move clock_was_set_seq update to before we update the shadow-timekeeper

From: John Stultz
Date: Thu Jun 11 2015 - 18:56:34 EST


It was reported that 868a3e915f7f5eba (hrtimer: Make offset
update smarter) was causing timer problems after suspend/resume.

The problem with that change is the modification to
clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_update is done prior to
mirroring the time state to the shadow-timekeeper. Thus the
next time we do update_wall_time() the updated sequence is
overwritten by whats in the shadow copy.

This patch moves the shadow-timekeeper mirroring to the end
of the function, after all updates have been made, so all data
is kept in sync.

(This patch also affects the update_fast_timekeeper calls which
were also problematically done prior to the mirroring).
