[PATCH 1/2][RFC v6] timekeeping: Ignore the bogus sleep time if pm_trace is enabled

From: Chen Yu
Date: Tue Nov 08 2016 - 03:53:43 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Previously we encountered some memory overflow issues due to
the bogus sleep time brought by inconsistent rtc, which is
triggered when pm_trace is enabled, and we have fixed it
in recent kernel. However it's improper in the first place
to call __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime() in case that pm_trace
is enabled simply because that "hash" time value will wreckage
the timekeeping subsystem.

This patch is to bypass the bogus rtc interval when pm_trace is enabled.
