2007-03-01[PATCH] rtc_cmos oops fixDavid Brownell
Fix an oops on the rtc_device_unregister() path by waiting until the last moment before nulling the rtc->ops vector. Fix some potential oopses by having the rtc_class_open()/rtc_class_close() interface increase the RTC's reference count while an RTC handle is available outside the RTC framework.

2006-11-25[PATCH] rtc class locking bugfixesDavid Brownell
I got a lockdep warning when running "rtctest" so I though it'd be good to see what was up. - The warning was for rtc->irq_task_lock, gotten from rtc_update_irq() by irq handlerss ... but in a handful of other cases, grabbed without blocking IRQs. - Some callers to rtc_update_irq() were not ensuring IRQs were blocked, yet the routine expects that; make sure all callers block IRQs. It would appear that RTC API tests haven't been part of anyone's kernel regression test suite recently, at least not with lockdep running.

2006-11-25[PATCH] rtc framework handles periodic irqsDavid Brownell
The RTC framework has an irq_set_freq() method that should be used to manage the periodic IRQ frequency, but the current ioctl logic doesn't know how to do that. This patch teaches it how. This means that drivers implementing irq_set_freq() will automatically support RTC_IRQP_{READ,SET} ioctls; that logic doesn't need duplication within the driver.

2006-03-27[PATCH] RTC subsystem: classAlessandro Zummo
Add the basic RTC subsystem infrastructure to the kernel. rtc/class.c - registration facilities for RTC drivers rtc/interface.c - kernel/rtc interface functions rtc/hctosys.c - snippet of code that copies hw clock to sw clock at bootup, if configured to do so.
