The patch is below. It's based on gettimeofday() rather than on SIGALRM (alarm(2)). The gettimeofday has some overhead, but it shouldn't be a big problem for the synchronization function (... and it's fallback for systems without RTC_UIE_ON). Please, test & review. I'd like to use the patch in 2.14.1.
It does not "hang" anymore: # ./hwclock --show Timed out waiting for time change. But still, it won't set the hardware clock so it can start ticking: # date Tue Aug 12 13:13:59 UTC 2008 # ./hwclock --systohc Timed out waiting for time change. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
