Subject: ARM: OMAP: counter: add locking to read_persistent_clock
From: Colin Cross <[email protected]>
commit 9d7d6e363b06934221b81a859d509844c97380df upstream.
read_persistent_clock uses a global variable, use a spinlock to
ensure non-atomic updates to the variable don't overlap and cause
time to move backwards.
