Ben reported a lockup related to rtc. The lockup happens due to:
CPU0 CPU1
rtc_irq_set_state() __run_hrtimer()
spin_lock_irqsave(&rtc->irq_task_lock) rtc_handle_legacy_irq();
spin_lock(&rtc->irq_task_lock);
hrtimer_cancel()
while (callback_running);
So the running callback never finishes as it's blocked on
rtc->irq_task_lock.
Use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() instead and drop rtc->irq_task_lock while
waiting for the callback. Fix this for both rtc_irq_set_state() and
rtc_irq_set_freq().

Due to the hrtimer self rearming mode a user can DoS the machine simply
because it's starved by hrtimer events.

The code checks the correctness of the parameters, but unconditionally

The result is that a random task might arm/disarm rtc timer and surprise

We forget to save the return value of the call to

Commit f44f7f96a2 ("RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC") uncovered
an issue in a number of RTC drivers, where the drivers call
rtc_device_register before initializing the device or platform drvdata.
This frequently results in null pointer dereferences when the
rtc_device_register immediately makes use of the rtc device, calling
rtc_read_alarm.
The solution is to ensure the drvdata is initialized prior to registering
the rtc device.

Now that the generic code handles UIE mode irqs via periodic
alarm interrupts, no one calls the
rtc_class_ops->update_irq_enable() method anymore.
Further the rtc_class_ops doesn't have a update_irq_enable element
anymore, so this causes a build error.
This patch removes the driver hooks and implementations of

Because the RTC interface is only a second granular interface,
each time we read from the RTC for suspend/resume, we introduce a
half second (on average) of error.
In order to avoid this error accumulating as the system is suspended
over and over, this patch measures the time delta between the RTC
and the system CLOCK_REALTIME.
If the delta is less then 2 seconds from the last suspend, we compensate
by using the previous time delta (keeping it close). If it is larger
then 2 seconds, we assume the clock was set or has been changed, so we
do no correction and update the delta.
Note: If NTP is running, ths could seem to "fight" with the NTP corrected
time, where as if the system time was off by 1 second, and NTP slewed the
value in, a suspend/resume cycle could undo this correction, by trying to
restore the previous offset from the RTC. However, without this patch,
since each read could cause almost a full second worth of error, its
possible to get almost 2 seconds of error just from the suspend/resume
cycle alone, so this about equal to any offset added by the compensation.
Further on systems that suspend/resume frequently, this should keep time
closer then NTP could compensate for if the errors were allowed to
accumulate.

rtc_device_register immediately makes use of the rtc device, calling
rtc_read_alarm.
The solution is to ensure the drvdata is initialized prior to registering
the rtc device.

Commit f44f7f96a2 ("RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC") uncovered
an issue in a number of RTC drivers, where the drivers call
rtc_device_register before initializing the device or platform drvdata.
This frequently results in null pointer dereferences when the
rtc_device_register immediately makes use of the rtc device, calling
rtc_read_alarm.
The solution is to ensure the drvdata is initialized prior to registering
the rtc device.
