Subject: [PATCH 0/1] EmbeddedPkg: Fix multiple Virtual RTC issues
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 23:52:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190225235202.2252-1-pete@akeo.ie> (raw)
This patch fixes multiple issues in VirtualRealTimeClockLib.c:
1. Use of two separate variables (ElapsedSeconds and EpochSeconds) in
LibGetTime(), where only a single one should have been used.
2. Possible underflow while sustracting TZ/DST offsets in LibSetTime()
if the user sets a date that is very close to start of epoch.
3. Non substraction of elpased seconds since reset, which would lead to
the following behaviour in UEFI shell (assuming for this example that
exactly 5 minutes have elapsed since platform reset):
Shell> time 12:00:00
Shell> time
12:05:01 (LOCAL)
In other words, setting and immediately reading back the time would
result in the returned value being offset by the time since reset.
This last behaviour has been observed (and confirmed fixed) using an
RPi3 platform.
Regards,
/Pete
