/*
 * hwclock.c
 *
 * clock.c was written by Charles Hedrick, hedrick@cs.rutgers.edu, Apr 1992
 * Modified for clock adjustments - Rob Hooft <hooft@chem.ruu.nl>, Nov 1992
 * Improvements by Harald Koenig <koenig@nova.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de>
 * and Alan Modra <alan@spri.levels.unisa.edu.au>.
 *
 * Major rewrite by Bryan Henderson <bryanh@giraffe-data.com>, 96.09.19.
 * The new program is called hwclock. New features:
 * - You can set the hardware clock without also modifying the system clock.
 * - You can read and set the clock with finer than 1 second precision.
 * - When you set the clock, hwclock automatically refigures the drift
 *   rate, based on how far off the clock was before you set it.
 *
 * Reshuffled things, added sparc code, and re-added alpha stuff
 * by David Mosberger <davidm@azstarnet.com>
 * and Jay Estabrook <jestabro@amt.tay1.dec.com> 
 * and Martin Ostermann <ost@coments.rwth-aachen.de>, aeb@cwi.nl, 990212.
 *
 * Fix for Award 2094 bug, Dave Coffin  (dcoffin@shore.net)  11/12/98
 * Change of local time handling, Stefan Ring <e9725446@stud3.tuwien.ac.at>
 * Change of adjtime handling, James P. Rutledge <ao112@rgfn.epcc.edu>.

/*
 * Explanation of `adjusting' (Rob Hooft):
 *
 * The problem with my machine is that its CMOS clock is 10 seconds
 * per day slow. With this version of clock.c, and my '/etc/rc.local'
 * reading '/etc/clock -au' instead of '/etc/clock -u -s', this error
 * is automatically corrected at every boot.
 *
 * To do this job, the program reads and writes the file '/etc/adjtime'
 * to determine the correction, and to save its data. In this file are
 * three numbers:
 *
 * 1) the correction in seconds per day. (So if your clock runs 5
 *    seconds per day fast, the first number should read -5.0)
 * 2) the number of seconds since 1/1/1970 the last time the program
 *    was used
 * 3) the remaining part of a second which was leftover after the last
 *    adjustment
 *
 * Installation and use of this program:
 *
 * a) create a file '/etc/adjtime' containing as the first and only line:
 *    '0.0 0 0.0'
 * b) run 'clock -au' or 'clock -a', depending on whether your cmos is in
 *    universal or local time. This updates the second number.
 * c) set your system time using the 'date' command.
 * d) update your cmos time using 'clock -wu' or 'clock -w'
 * e) replace the first number in /etc/adjtime by your correction.
 * f) put the command 'clock -au' or 'clock -a' in your '/etc/rc.local'

  History of this program:

  98.08.12 BJH   Version 2.4 

  Don't use century byte from Hardware Clock.  Add comments telling why.


  98.06.20 BJH   Version 2.3.

  Make --hctosys set the kernel timezone from TZ environment variable
  and/or /usr/lib/zoneinfo.  From Klaus Ripke (klaus@ripke.com).

  98.03.05 BJH.  Version 2.2.  

  Add --getepoch and --setepoch.  

  Fix some word length things so it works on Alpha.

  Make it work when /dev/rtc doesn't have the interrupt functions.
  In this case, busywait for the top of a second instead of blocking and
  waiting for the update complete interrupt.

  Fix a bunch of bugs too numerous to mention.

  97.06.01: BJH.  Version 2.1.  Read and write the century byte (Byte
  50) of the ISA Hardware Clock when using direct ISA I/O.  Problem
  discovered by job (jei@iclnl.icl.nl).
  
  Use the rtc clock access method in preference to the KDGHWCLK method.
  Problem discovered by Andreas Schwab <schwab@LS5.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>.

  November 1996: Version 2.0.1.  Modifications by Nicolai Langfeldt
  (janl@math.uio.no) to make it compile on linux 1.2 machines as well
  as more recent versions of the kernel. Introduced the NO_CLOCK
  access method and wrote feature test code to detect absense of rtc
  headers.

  Maintenance notes

  To compile this, you must use GNU compiler optimization (-O option)
  in order to make the "extern inline" functions from asm/io.h (inb(),
  etc.)  compile.  If you don't optimize, which means the compiler
  will generate no inline functions, the references to these functions
  in this program will be compiled as external references.  Since you
  probably won't be linking with any functions by these names, you will
  have unresolved external references when you link.
  
  The program is designed to run setuid superuser, since we need to be
  able to do direct I/O.  (More to the point: we need permission to 
  execute the iopl() system call).  (However, if you use one of the 
  methods other than direct ISA I/O to access the clock, no setuid is
  required).
 
  Here's some info on how we must deal with the time that elapses while
  this program runs: There are two major delays as we run:

    1) Waiting up to 1 second for a transition of the Hardware Clock so
       we are synchronized to the Hardware Clock.

    2) Running the "date" program to interpret the value of our --date
       option.

  Reading the /etc/adjtime file is the next biggest source of delay and
  uncertainty.

  The user wants to know what time it was at the moment he invoked us,
  not some arbitrary time later.  And in setting the clock, he is
  giving us the time at the moment we are invoked, so if we set the
  clock some time later, we have to add some time to that.

  So we check the system time as soon as we start up, then run "date"
  and do file I/O if necessary, then wait to synchronize with a
  Hardware Clock edge, then check the system time again to see how
  much time we spent.  We immediately read the clock then and (if 
  appropriate) report that time, and additionally, the delay we measured.

  If we're setting the clock to a time given by the user, we wait some
  more so that the total delay is an integral number of seconds, then
  set the Hardware Clock to the time the user requested plus that
  integral number of seconds.  N.B. The Hardware Clock can only be set
  in integral seconds.

  If we're setting the clock to the system clock value, we wait for
  the system clock to reach the top of a second, and then set the
  Hardware Clock to the system clock's value.

  Here's an interesting point about setting the Hardware Clock:  On my
  machine, when you set it, it sets to that precise time.  But one can
  imagine another clock whose update oscillator marches on a steady one
  second period, so updating the clock between any two oscillator ticks
  is the same as updating it right at the earlier tick.  To avoid any
  complications that might cause, we set the clock as soon as possible
  after an oscillator tick.

  
  About synchronizing to the Hardware Clock when reading the time: The
  precision of the Hardware Clock counters themselves is one second.
  You can't read the counters and find out that is 12:01:02.5.  But if
  you consider the location in time of the counter's ticks as part of
  its value, then its precision is as infinite as time is continuous!
  What I'm saying is this: To find out the _exact_ time in the
  hardware clock, we wait until the next clock tick (the next time the
  second counter changes) and measure how long we had to wait.  We
  then read the value of the clock counters and subtract the wait time
  and we know precisely what time it was when we set out to query the
  time.

  hwclock uses this method, and considers the Hardware Clock to have
  infinite precision.


  Enhancements needed:

   - When waiting for whole second boundary in set_hardware_clock_exact,
     fail if we miss the goal by more than .1 second, as could happen if
     we get pre-empted (by the kernel dispatcher).
