This patch reworks a large portion of the generic RTC code
to in-effect virtualize the rtc interrupt code.
The current RTC interface is very much a raw hardware interface.
Via the proc, /dev/, or sysfs interfaces, applciations can set
the hardware to trigger interrupts in one of three modes:
AIE: Alarm interrupt
UIE: Update interrupt (ie: once per second)
PIE: Periodic interrupt (sub-second irqs)
The problem with this interface is that it limits the RTC hardware
so it can only be used by one application at a time.
The purpose of this patch is to extend the RTC code so that we can
multiplex multiple applications event needs onto a single RTC device.
This is done by utilizing the timerqueue infrastructure to manage
a list of events, which cause the RTC hardware to be programmed
to fire an interrupt for the next event in the list.
In order to preserve the functionality of the exsting proc,/dev/ and
sysfs interfaces, we emulate the different interrupt modes as follows:
AIE: We create a rtc_timer dedicated to AIE mode interrupts. There is
only one per device, so we don't change existing interface semantics.
UIE: Again, a dedicated rtc_timer, set for periodic mode, is used
to emulate UIE interrupts. Again, only one per device.
PIE: Since PIE mode interrupts fire faster then the RTC's clock read
granularity, we emulate PIE mode interrupts using a hrtimer. Again,
one per device.
With this patch, the rtctest.c application in Documentation/rtc.txt
passes fine on x86 hardware. However, there may very well still be
bugs, so greatly I'd appreciate any feedback or testing!

- the LEAP_YEAR macro is buggy - it references its arg multiple times.
Fix this by turning it into a C function.
- give it a more approriate name
- Move it to rtc.h so that other .c files can use it, instead of copying it.

commit 945185a69daa457c4c5e46e47f4afad7dcea734f ("rtc: rtc_time_to_tm: use
unsigned arithmetic") changed the some types in rtc_time_to_tm() to
unsigned:
void rtc_time_to_tm(unsigned long time, struct rtc_time *tm)
{
- register int days, month, year;
+ unsigned int days, month, year;
This doesn't work for all cases, because days is checked for < 0 later
on:
if (days < 0) {
year -= 1;
days += 365 + LEAP_YEAR(year);
}
I think the correct fix would be to keep days signed and do an appropriate
cast later on.

The input argument to rtc_time_to_tm() is unsigned as well as are members of
the output structure. However signed arithmetic is used within for
calculations leading to incorrect results for input values outside the signed
positive range. If this happens the time of day returned is out of range.
Found the problem when fiddling with the RTC and the driver where year was set
to an unexpectedly large value like 2070, e.g.:
rtc0: setting system clock to 2070-01-01 1193046:71582832:26 UTC (3155760954)
while it should be:
rtc0: setting system clock to 2070-01-01 00:15:54 UTC (3155760954)
Changing types to unsigned fixes the problem.

David says "884b4aaaa242a2db8c8252796f0118164a680ab5 should be reverted. It
added an rtc_merge_alarm() call to the 2.6.20 kernel, which hasn't yet been
used by any in-tree driver; this patch obviates the need for that call, and
uses a more robust approach."

Add rtc_merge_alarm(), which can be used by rtc drivers to turn a partially
specified alarm expiry (i.e. most significant fields set to -1, as with the
RTC_ALM_SET ioctl()) into a fully specified expiry.
If the most significant specified field is earlier than the current time, the
least significant unspecified field is incremented.

The rtc_is_valid_tm() routine needs to treat some of the fields it checks as
unsigned, to prevent wrongly accepting invalid rtc_time structs; this is the
same approach used elsewhere in the RTC code for such tests.
Conversely, rtc_proc_show() is missing one invalid-day-of-month test that
rtc_is_valid_tm() makes: there is no day zero.
