warp_clock()

Przesuń podczas wyłączonych przerwań zegar systemowy z czasu UTC (uniwersalnego) na czas lokalny. Ta procedura powinna być wołana tylko raz w czasie pracy systemu, a w ogólne najlepiej byłoby, aby czas w zegarze sprzętowym zawsze wskazywał na UTC (i tak się dzieje na wielu komputerach pracujących pod Unixem).

/*
 * Adjust the time obtained from the CMOS to be UTC time instead of
 * local time.
 * 
 * This is ugly, but preferable to the alternatives.  Otherwise we
 * would either need to write a program to do it in /etc/rc (and risk
 * confusion if the program gets run more than once; it would also be 
 * hard to make the program warp the clock precisely n hours)  or
 * compile in the timezone information into the kernel.  Bad, bad....
 *
 *              				- TYT, 1992-01-01
 *
 * The best thing to do is to keep the CMOS clock in universal time (UTC)
 * as real UNIX machines always do it. This avoids all headaches about
 * daylight saving times and warping kernel clocks.

sys_settimeofday(czas, strefa czasowa)

Ustaw bieżący czas i strefę czasową, w której znajduje się komputer. Można zrezygnować z którejś z tych możliwości podając pusty wskaźnik (NULL). W razie pierwszej zmiany strefy czasowej przesuń zegar do przodu za pomocą funkcji warp_clock(). Jak wszystkie funkcje zmiany czasu systemowego, także i ta może być wołana tylko przez roota (administratora, nadzorcę).

/*
 * In case for some reason the CMOS clock has not already been running
 * in UTC, but in some local time: The first time we set the timezone,
 * we will warp the clock so that it is ticking UTC time instead of
 * local time. Presumably, if someone is setting the timezone then we
 * are running in an environment where the programs understand about
 * timezones. This should be done at boot time in the /etc/rc script,
 * as soon as possible, so that the clock can be set right. Otherwise,
