From: Giovambattista Pulcini <[email protected]>
The following problem was found by Giovambattista Pulcini
<[email protected]>, who also provided a partial patch, and this has been
verified by our time guru Gabriel Paubert <[email protected]>.
The problem is that in do_settimeofday() we always set time_state to
TIME_ERROR and except on two platforms, never re-set it. This meant that
ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime() always returned TIME_ERROR, incorrectly.
Based on Gabriel's analysis, time_state is used for leap-second processing,
and ppc shouldn't be mucking with it.
