[ Upstream commit 3ae8fd41573af4fb3a490c9ed947fc936ba87190 ] Setting the century forward has been failing on AMD platforms. There was a previous attempt at fixing this for family 0x17 as part of commit 7ad295d5196a ("rtc: Fix the AltCentury value on AMD/Hygon platform") but this was later reverted due to some problems reported that appeared to stem from an FW bug on a family 0x17 desktop system. The same comments mentioned in the previous commit continue to apply to the newer platforms as well. ``` MC146818 driver use function mc146818_set_time() to set register RTC_FREQ_SELECT(RTC_REG_A)'s bit4-bit6 field which means divider stage reset value on Intel platform to 0x7. While AMD/Hygon RTC_REG_A(0Ah)'s bit4 is defined as DV0 [Reference]: DV0 = 0 selects Bank 0, DV0 = 1 selects Bank 1. Bit5-bit6 is defined as reserved. DV0 is set to 1, it will select Bank 1, which will disable AltCentury register(0x32) access. As UEFI pass acpi_gbl_FADT.century 0x32 (AltCentury), the CMOS write will be failed on code: CMOS_WRITE(century, acpi_gbl_FADT.century). Correct RTC_REG_A bank select bit(DV0) to 0 on AMD/Hygon CPUs, it will enable AltCentury(0x32) register writing and finally setup century as expected. ``` However in closer examination the change previously submitted was also modifying bits 5 & 6 which are declared reserved in the AMD documentation. So instead modify just the DV0 bank selection bit. Being cognizant that there was a failure reported before, split the code change out to a static function that can also be used for exclusions if any regressions such as Mikhail's pop up again.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
