Public bug reported:

I use stress-ng to stress CPU(Xeon E3, CentOS7).  During the test, I
found that system clock has been modified to  1970 or 1969 strangely,
but this modification has no effect to rtc.  For a tough debug,  found
stress-opcode cause this modification,  below is the code

((void (*)(void))(ops_begin + mwc8()))();

And I limit test to opcode only, like this :

./stress-ng --opcode 0 --timeout 3m --log-file log/opcode.log

The test also cause different results, like user logout, gibberish
output and so on.  Can anyone explain this test, I have read some short
description about opcode in cpu.job, but  still question how the test
code work.  For the system time is changed,  but the test past, how can
I how if the system work correctly or not?
