Hi all, before going off an filing a bug, I wanted to gather some input. I added a battery for the RTC to one of my ARM boards, in testing that it was working as expected I booted the system I noticed the following
[root@localhost ~]# date Wed 01 Apr 2020 05:24:35 PM UTC [root@localhost ~]# hwclock 2020-04-08 15:15:29.146007+00:00 trying to sync the clock I get [root@localhost ~]# hwclock --hctosys --verbose hwclock from util-linux 2.35.1 System Time: 1585762054.571276 Trying to open: /dev/rtc0 Using the rtc interface to the clock. Last drift adjustment done at 1585761886 seconds after 1969 Last calibration done at 1585761886 seconds after 1969 Hardware clock is on local time Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time. Waiting for clock tick... ...got clock tick Time read from Hardware Clock: 2020/04/08 15:18:25 Hw clock time : 2020/04/08 15:18:25 = 1586359105 seconds since 1969 Time since last adjustment is 597219 seconds Calculated Hardware Clock drift is 0.000000 seconds Calling settimeofday(NULL, 0) to set persistent_clock_is_local. Calling settimeofday(1586359105.000000, 0) hwclock: settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q glibc glibc-2.31-2.fc32.aarch64 I came across https://www.mail-archive.com/info-gnu@gnu.org/msg02694.html which to me indicates that the API used by hwclock is being removed and it needs updating. I wanted to get a better understanding of what is going on, and if it should be considered as a blocker for f32. I tested and the bug exists on x86 and arm and would exist on other arches also if the network is connected at boot it should not matter as ntp/chrony would do the right thing. However, without network, the date and time would be broken, potentially off so much that when network is connected dnf will not work.
