From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wyso...@intel.com> There is a difference in behavior between suspend-to-idle and suspend-to-RAM in the timekeeping handling that leads to functional issues. Namely, every iteration of the loop in s2idle_loop() increases the monotinic clock somewhat, even if timekeeping_suspend() and timekeeping_resume() are invoked from s2idle_enter(), and if many of them are carried out in a row, the monotonic clock can grow significantly while the system is regarded as suspended, which doesn't happen during suspend-to-RAM and so it is unexpected and leads to confusion and misbehavior in user space (similar to what ensued when we tried to combine the boottime and monotonic clocks).
To avoid that, count all iterations of the loop in s2idle_loop() as "sleep time" and adjust the clock for that on exit from suspend-to-idle. [That also covers systems on which timekeeping is not suspended by s2idle_enter().] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
