    Subject[PATCH 1/1] ntp: advertise correct TAI offset during leap second
    Date
    When repeating a UTC time value during a leap second (when the UTC
    time should be 23:59:60), the TAI timescale should not stop. The kernel
    NTP code increments the TAI offset one second too late. This patch fixes
    the issue by incrementing the offset during the leap second itself.
