time: add ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ
Michael Kerrisk reported that a long standing bug in the adjtimex() system call causes glibc's adjtime(3) function to deliver the wrong results if 'delta' is NULL. add the ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ API detail, which will be used by glibc to fix this API compatibility bug. Also see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6761 [ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ] NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely. Suggested by Ulrich Drepper. Acked-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
