I guess my question is: Why does IBM and other software vendor depend on the TOD clock not changing "drastically" and never, ever, "going backwards"?
Ours is not to reason why. The architecture (PoOps) describes the behavior of the TOD clock and other facilities. These behaviors were decided upon a long, long time ago and applications depend on them. You can no more allow the TOD to go backwards than you can allow a CDS instruction to not serialize in some cases. That's how it works because it's documented that way!
How would you address this "complaint". Without spending any money (gilt, lucre, dinero, ...)
