The patch titled rtc: allow validated RTC_PIE_ON for non-root has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was rtc-allow-validated-rtc_pie_on-for-non-root.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: rtc: allow validated RTC_PIE_ON for non-root From: Bryan Kadzban <bryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> drivers/char/rtc.c allowed RTC_PIE_ON ioctls for non-root users, as long as the current interval (set via RTC_IRQP_SET) is <= max_user_freq. Allow RTC_PIE_ON under the same conditions when /dev/rtc* is handled by the rtc subsystem.
