Add a message when __rtc_register_device fails because rtc->ops is NULL.
This may only happen when developing a new driver so use dev_dbg to avoid
compiling it in by default.

Implement devm_rtc_device_register using devm_rtc_allocate_device and
__rtc_register_device so there is only one path left to register rtc
devices.
Also mark it as deprecated so new drivers will hopefully use
devm_rtc_allocate_device and rtc_register_device that are less race prone
and allow avoiding the 2038, 2070, 2100 and 2106 bugs properly.

getnstimeofday64() is just a wrapper around the ktime accessor, so
we should use that directly.
I considered using ktime_get_boottime_ts64() (to avoid leap second
problems) or ktime_get_real_seconds() (to simplify the calculation,
but in the end concluded that the existing interface is probably
the most appropriate in this case.

From our investigation for all RTC drivers, 1 driver will be expired before
year 2017, 7 drivers will be expired before year 2038, 23 drivers will be
expired before year 2069, 72 drivers will be expired before 2100 and 104
drivers will be expired before 2106. Especially for these early expired
drivers, we need to expand the RTC range to make the RTC can still work
after the expired year.
So we can expand the RTC range by adding one offset to the time when reading
from hardware, and subtracting it when writing back. For example, if you have
an RTC that can do 100 years, and currently is configured to be based in
Jan 1 1970, so it can represents times from 1970 to 2069. Then if you change
the start year from 1970 to 2000, which means it can represents times from
2000 to 2099. By adding or subtracting the offset produced by moving the wrap
point, all times between 1970 and 1999 from RTC hardware could get interpreted
as times from 2070 to 2099, but the interpretation of dates between 2000 and
2069 would not change.

Because nvmem_config is only used and copied at nvmem registration, remove

Switch the parent of the nvmem device to the parent of the rtc device so it
can be registered before the RTC.
This is a small change in the ABI as the nvmem moves out of the
/sys/class/rtc/rtcX folder to be under the parent device folder (that is
where the previous nvram files where registered).
However, it is still available under its correct location,
/sys/bus/nvmem/devices which is the one that should be used by userspace
applications.
The other benefit is that the nvmem device can stay registered even if the
rtc registration fails. Or it is possible to not register the rtc if the
nvmem registration failed.
Finally, it makes a lot of sense for devices that actually have different
i2c or spi addresses for the RTC and the EEPROM. That is basically how it
would end up when using MFD or even completely separate devices.

ntp is currently hardwired to try and call the rtc set when wall clock
tv_nsec is 0.5 seconds. This historical behaviour works well with certain
PC RTCs, but is not universal to all rtc hardware.
Change how this works by introducing the driver specific concept of
set_offset_nsec, the delay between current wall clock time and the target
time to set (with a 0 tv_nsecs).
For x86-style CMOS set_offset_nsec should be -0.5 s which causes the last
second to be written 0.5 s after it has started.
For compat with the old rtc_set_ntp_time, the value is defaulted to
+ 0.5 s, which causes the next second to be written 0.5s before it starts,
as things were before this patch.
Testing shows many non-x86 RTCs would like set_offset_nsec ~= 0,
so ultimately each RTC driver should set the set_offset_nsec according
to its needs, and non x86 architectures should stop using
update_persistent_clock64 in order to access this feature.
Future patches will revise the drivers as needed.
Since CMOS and RTC now have very different handling they are split
into two dedicated code paths, sharing the support code, and ifdefs
are replaced with IS_ENABLED.

Many RTCs have an on board non volatile storage. It can be battery backed
RAM or an EEPROM. Use the nvmem subsystem to export it to both userspace
and in-kernel consumers.
This stays compatible with the previous (non documented) ABI that was using
/sys/class/rtc/rtcx/device/nvram to export that memory. But will warn about
the deprecation.

Mostly straightforward, but we had to remove the rtc_dev_add/del_device
functions as they split up the cdev_add and the device_add.
Doing this also revealed that there was likely another subtle bug:
seeing cdev_add was done after device_register, the cdev probably
was not ready before device_add when the uevent occurs. This would
race with userspace, if it tried to use the device directly after
the uevent. This is fixed just by using the new helper function.
Another weird thing is this driver would, in some error cases, call
cdev_add() without calling cdev_init. This patchset corrects this
by avoiding calling cdev_add if the devt is not set.

If a system does not provide a persistent_clock(), the time
will be updated on resume by rtc_resume(). With the addition
of the non-stop clocksources for suspend timing, those systems
set the time on resume in timekeeping_resume(), but may not
provide a valid persistent_clock().
This results in the rtc_resume() logic thinking no one has set
the time and it then will over-write the suspend time again,
which is not necessary and only increases clock error.
So, fix this for rtc_resume().
This patch also improves the name of persistent_clock_exist to
make it more grammatical.

Assign RTC device IDs based on device tree /aliases entries if present,
falling back to the existing numbering scheme if there is no /aliases
entry (which includes when the system isn't booted using DT), or there is
a numbering conflict.
This is useful in systems with multiple RTC devices, to ensure that the
best RTC device is selected as /dev/rtc0, which provides the overall
system time.
For example, Tegra has an on-SoC RTC that is not battery backed, typically
coupled with an off-SoC RTC that is battery backed. Only the latter is
useful for populating the system time, yet the former is useful e.g. for
wakeup timing, since the time is not lost when the system is sleeps.

Without this patch /sys/class/rtc/$CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE/hctosys
contains a 1 (meaning "This rtc was used to initialize the system
clock") even if setting the time by do_settimeofday() at bootup failed.
The RTC can also be used to set the clock on resume, if it did 1,
otherwise 0. Previously there was no indication if the RTC was used
to set the clock in resume.
This uses only CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE for conditional compilation
instead of it and CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS to be more consistent.
rtc_hctosys_ret was moved to class.c so class.c no longer depends on

When calling rtc_device_unregister, we are not freeing the id used by the

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.

Because the RTC interface is only a second granular interface,
each time we read from the RTC for suspend/resume, we introduce a
half second (on average) of error.
In order to avoid this error accumulating as the system is suspended
over and over, this patch measures the time delta between the RTC
and the system CLOCK_REALTIME.
If the delta is less then 2 seconds from the last suspend, we compensate
by using the previous time delta (keeping it close). If it is larger
then 2 seconds, we assume the clock was set or has been changed, so we
do no correction and update the delta.
Note: If NTP is running, ths could seem to "fight" with the NTP corrected
time, where as if the system time was off by 1 second, and NTP slewed the
value in, a suspend/resume cycle could undo this correction, by trying to
restore the previous offset from the RTC. However, without this patch,
since each read could cause almost a full second worth of error, its
possible to get almost 2 seconds of error just from the suspend/resume
cycle alone, so this about equal to any offset added by the compensation.
Further on systems that suspend/resume frequently, this should keep time
closer then NTP could compensate for if the errors were allowed to
accumulate.

Some platforms cannot implement read_persistent_clock, as
their RTC devices are only accessible when interrupts are enabled.
This keeps them from being used by the timekeeping code on resume
to measure the time in suspend.
The RTC layer tries to work around this, by calling do_settimeofday
on resume after irqs are reenabled to set the time properly. However,
this only corrects CLOCK_REALTIME, and does not properly adjust
the sleep time value. This causes btime in /proc/stat to be incorrect
as well as making the new CLOCK_BOTTTIME inaccurate.
This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new timekeeping hook
to allow the RTC layer to inject the sleep time on resume.
The code also checks to make sure that read_persistent_clock is
nonfunctional before setting the sleep time, so that should the RTC's
HCTOSYS option be configured in on a system that does support
read_persistent_clock we will not increase the total_sleep_time twice.

When we register an rtc device at boot, we read the alarm value
in hardware and set the rtc device's aie_timer to that value.
The initial method to do this was to simply call rtc_set_alarm()
with the value read from hardware. However, this may cause problems
as rtc_set_alarm may enable interupts, and the RTC alarm might fire,
which can cause invalid pointer dereferencing since the RTC registration
is not complete.
This patch solves the issue by initializing the rtc_device.aie_timer
y hand via rtc_initialize_alarm(). This avoids any calls to the RTC
hardware which might enable interrupts too early.

Mark Brown pointed out a corner case: that RTC alarms should
be allowed to be persistent across reboots if the hardware
supported it.
The rework of the generic layer to virtualize the RTC alarm
virtualized much of the alarm handling, and removed the
code used to read the alarm time from the hardware.
Mark noted if we want the alarm to be persistent across
reboots, we need to re-read the alarm value into the
virtualized generic layer at boot up, so that the generic
layer properly exposes that value.
This patch restores much of the earlier removed
rtc_read_alarm code and wires it in so that we
set the kernel's alarm value to what we find in the
hardware at boot time.
NOTE: Not all hardware supports persistent RTC alarm state across
system reset. rtc-cmos for example will keep the alarm time, but
disables the AIE mode irq. Applications should not expect the RTC
alarm to be valid after a system reset. We will preserve what
we can, to represent the hardware state at boot, but its not
guarenteed.
Further, in the future, with multiplexed RTC alarms, the
soonest alarm to fire may not be the one set via the /dev/rt
ioctls. So an application may set the alarm with RTC_ALM_SET,
but after a reset find that RTC_ALM_READ returns an earlier
time. Again, we preserve what we can, but applications should
not expect the RTC alarm state to persist across a system reset.
Big thanks to Mark for pointing out the issue!
Thanks also to Marcelo for helping think through the solution.

This patch prevents a user space program from calling the RTC_IRQP_SET
ioctl with a negative value of frequency. Also, if this call is make
with a zero value of frequency, there would be a division by zero in the
kernel code.
[jstultz: Also initialize irq_freq to 1 to catch other divbyzero issues]

rtctimer_* is already occupied by sound/core/rtctimer.c. Instead of
fiddling with that, rename the new functions to rtc_timer_* which
reads nicer anyway.

This patch reworks a large portion of the generic RTC code
to in-effect virtualize the rtc interrupt code.
The current RTC interface is very much a raw hardware interface.
Via the proc, /dev/, or sysfs interfaces, applciations can set
the hardware to trigger interrupts in one of three modes:
AIE: Alarm interrupt
UIE: Update interrupt (ie: once per second)
PIE: Periodic interrupt (sub-second irqs)
The problem with this interface is that it limits the RTC hardware
so it can only be used by one application at a time.
The purpose of this patch is to extend the RTC code so that we can
multiplex multiple applications event needs onto a single RTC device.
This is done by utilizing the timerqueue infrastructure to manage
a list of events, which cause the RTC hardware to be programmed
to fire an interrupt for the next event in the list.
In order to preserve the functionality of the exsting proc,/dev/ and
sysfs interfaces, we emulate the different interrupt modes as follows:
AIE: We create a rtc_timer dedicated to AIE mode interrupts. There is
only one per device, so we don't change existing interface semantics.
UIE: Again, a dedicated rtc_timer, set for periodic mode, is used
to emulate UIE interrupts. Again, only one per device.
PIE: Since PIE mode interrupts fire faster then the RTC's clock read
granularity, we emulate PIE mode interrupts using a hrtimer. Again,
one per device.
With this patch, the rtctest.c application in Documentation/rtc.txt
passes fine on x86 hardware. However, there may very well still be
bugs, so greatly I'd appreciate any feedback or testing!
