[PATCH] RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC

[John Stultz]

Thomas: Hopefully this is the last fix for 2.6.38. 
Any objection to pushing this to Linus?

thanks

Mark Brown pointed out a corner case: that RTC alarms should
be allowed to be persistent across reboots if the hardware
supported it.

The rework of the generic layer to virtualize the RTC alarm
virtualized much of the alarm handling, and removed the
code used to read the alarm time from the hardware.

Mark noted if we want the alarm to be persistent across
reboots, we need to re-read the alarm value into the
virtualized generic layer at boot up, so that the generic
layer properly exposes that value.

This patch restores much of the earlier removed
rtc_read_alarm code and wires it in so that we
set the kernel's alarm value to what we find in the
hardware at boot time.

NOTE: Not all hardware supports persistent RTC alarm state across
system reset. rtc-cmos for example will keep the alarm time, but
disables the AIE mode irq. Applications should not expect the RTC
alarm to be valid after a system reset. We will preserve what
we can, to represent the hardware state at boot, but its not
guarenteed.

Further, in the future, with multiplexed RTC alarms, the
soonest alarm to fire may not be the one set via the /dev/rt
ioctls. So an application may set the alarm with RTC_ALM_SET,
but after a reset find that RTC_ALM_READ returns an earlier
time. Again, we preserve what we can, but applications should
not expect the RTC alarm state to persist across a system reset.

Big thanks to Mark for pointing out the issue!
Thanks also to Marcelo for helping think through the solution.

+	 *     day/month/year calendar data.
+	 *
+	 *   - Some hardware uses illegal values as "wildcard" match

+	 *     to set up as e.g. "alarm 15 minutes after each hour".
+	 *     Linux uses only oneshot alarms.
+	 *
+	 * When we see that here, we deal with it by using values from
+	 * a current RTC timestamp for any missing (-1) values.  The
+	 * RTC driver prevents "periodic alarm" modes.
+	 *
+	 * But this can be racey, because some fields of the RTC timestamp
+	 * may have wrapped in the interval since we read the RTC alarm,
+	 * which would lead to us inserting inconsistent values in place
+	 * of the -1 fields.
+	 *
+	 * Reading the alarm and timestamp in the reverse sequence
+	 * would have the same race condition, and not solve the issue.
+	 *
+	 * So, we must first read the RTC timestamp,
+	 * then read the RTC alarm value,
+	 * and then read a second RTC timestamp.
+	 *
+	 * If any fields of the second timestamp have changed
+	 * when compared with the first timestamp, then we know
+	 * our timestamp may be inconsistent with that used by
+	 * the low-level rtc_read_alarm_internal() function.
+	 *
+	 * So, when the two timestamps disagree, we just loop and do
+	 * the process again to get a fully consistent set of values.
+	 *
+	 * This could all instead be done in the lower level driver,
+	 * but since more than one lower level RTC implementation needs it,
+	 * then it's probably best best to do it here instead of there..
