Commit Message

Arnd Bergmann Nov. 8, 2019, 9:32 p.m. UTC
The ohci driver uses the get_seconds() function to implement the 32-bit
CSR_BUS_TIME register. This was added in 2010 commit a48777e03ad5
("firewire: add CSR BUS_TIME support").

As get_seconds() returns a 32-bit value (on 32-bit architectures), it
seems like a good fit for that register, but it is also deprecated because
of the y2038/y2106 overflow problem, and should be replaced throughout
the kernel with either ktime_get_real_seconds() or ktime_get_seconds().

I'm using the latter here, which uses monotonic time. This has the
advantage of behaving better during concurrent settimeofday() updates
or leap second adjustments and won't overflow a 32-bit integer, but
the downside of using CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME is
that the observed values are not related to external clocks.

If we instead need UTC but can live with clock jumps or overflows,
then we should use ktime_get_real_seconds() instead, retaining the
existing behavior.
