    alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no RTC device is present · 1c6b39ad
    John Stultz 提交于
    Toralf Förster and Richard Weinberger noted that if there is
    no RTC device, the alarm timers core prints out an annoying
    "ALARM timers will not wake from suspend" message.
    
    This warning has been removed in a previous patch, however
    the issue still remains:  The original idea was to support
    alarm timers even if there was no rtc device, as long as the
    system didn't go into suspend.
    
    However, after further consideration, communicating to the application
    that alarmtimers are not fully functional seems like the better
    solution.
    
    So this patch makes it so we return -ENOTSUPP to any posix _ALARM
    clockid calls if there is no backing RTC device on the system.
    
    Further this changes the behavior where when there is no rtc device
    we will check for one on clock_getres, clock_gettime, timer_create,
    and timer_nsleep instead of on suspend.
