[ Upstream commit cd17420ebea580c22dd3a93f7237de3d2cfafc37 ] Some Intel chipsets disconnect the time and date RTC registers when the clock update is in progress: during this time reads may return bogus values and writes fail silently. This includes the RTC alarm registers. [1] cmos_set_alarm() did not take account for that, fix it. [1] 7th Generation Intel ® Processor Family I/O for U/Y Platforms [...] Datasheet, Volume 1 of 2 (Intel's Document Number: 334658-006) Page 208 https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/7th-and-8th-gen-core-family-mobile-u-y-processor-lines-i-o-datasheet-vol-1.pdf "If a RAM read from the ten time and date bytes is attempted during an update cycle, the value read do not necessarily represent the true contents of those locations. Any RAM writes under the same conditions are ignored."

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.
