[DEBUG PATCH v3] rtc-cmos: cmos_read_alarm bug demonstration

From: Mateusz Jończyk
Date: Fri Nov 19 2021 - 15:46:27 EST


Before my commit "rtc-cmos: avoid UIP when reading alarm time",
applying this patch and reading the CMOS time like so:

while true; do cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/time ; sleep 0.5; done

produces errors in dmesg on my Intel Kaby Lake laptop.
