    Subject[PATCH 4.9 25/44] time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting
    Date
    4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

    commit 3d88d56c5873f6eebe23e05c3da701960146b801 upstream.

    Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled,
    there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do
    accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part
    gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
    in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures
    with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest.

    This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns
    accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids
    the issue for in-kernel users.

    Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime
    calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors,
    but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be
    updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its
    calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.
