From 4501cfd0e3a1c06e5539c9f806866f8408232393 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KOSAKI Motohiro Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 17:33:16 -0400 Subject: alarmtimer: return EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP if rtcdev doesn't exist commit 98d6f4dd84a134d942827584a3c5f67ffd8ec35f upstream. Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008) Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect. First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the closest userland equivlents). Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid. While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error handling. Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.
