Hi all, When the system is configured to read the RTC time in the local time zone, some timestamps recorded by systemd are wrong.
This bug can be demonstrated as the following: (RTC is in UTC+08:00) $ last hch tty1 Wed Nov 19 15:39 still logged in reboot system boot 3.16.0-4-amd64 Wed Nov 19 23:39 - 15:40 (-7:-59) <-- here ... $ systemctl show ... FirmwareTimestampMonotonic=0 LoaderTimestampMonotonic=0 KernelTimestamp=Wed 2014-11-19 23:39:10 CST <-- here KernelTimestampMonotonic=0 InitRDTimestampMonotonic=0 UserspaceTimestamp=Wed 2014-11-19 23:39:13 CST UserspaceTimestampMonotonic=2707714 FinishTimestamp=Wed 2014-11-19 15:39:25 CST <-- here FinishTimestampMonotonic=14463839 SecurityStartTimestamp=Wed 2014-11-19 23:39:13 CST SecurityStartTimestampMonotonic=2710030 SecurityFinishTimestamp=Wed 2014-11-19 23:39:13 CST SecurityFinishTimestampMonotonic=2721209 ... Note that timestamps are _inconsistent_. (15:39 is correct, 23:39 is 15:39 +08:00) I think this bug is introduced in commit c3a170f3d3358135a39ac6eafe66f18aef0bd67d (systemd: record the timestamps as early as possible). In that commit, in order to get more accurate timestamps, some timestamps are recorded _before_ the very first call of settimeofday(), which does a time warp in the kernel. The following is my patch. It has been tested with the latest systemd in git repo. Thanks!
