Fix month wrap issue with readback from /proc/acpi/alarm This bug has been around *forever*. $ echo '2008-12-01 10:36:20' > /proc/acpi/alarm $ cat /proc/acpi/alarm 2008-11-01 10:36:20 Note how the readback above shows the month incorrectly. But with this patch applied, it shows the correct month (12). Patch applies/works on kernels 2.6.25.* through 2.6.27.*, and probably on earlier kernels as well. Probably best to queue it up for the next major cycle.
