commit 80d4609008e6d696a279e39ae7458c916fcd44c1 upstream.
Even if protected from preemption and interrupts, a small time window
remains when the 2 register reads could return inconsistent values,
each time the "seconds" register changes. This could lead to an about
1-second error in the reported time.
Add logic to ensure the "seconds" and "nanoseconds" values are consistent.

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.
