repost for the thread [vdr] [PATCH] time warp

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sergei Haller Sergei.Haller@math.uni-giessen.de Organization: University of Giessen * Germany To: VDR List vdr@linuxtv.org Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2003 00:19:18 +0100 (CET) Subject: [vdr] [Patch] Re: Time jumps

[...]

Anyway, here is a small implementation of the cMJD::SetSystemTime() method. This one just uses adjtime for small clock drifts and old behaviour (jump) for bigger drifts.

(again, I'm sorry, but my vdr box is still broken, that's why I can't try it out directly in vdr, but this function should cleanly fit in 1.1.20's eit.c)

-------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> #include <sys/time.h>

/* these are for emulating vdr source only */ #define bool int #define true 1 #define false 0 #define isyslog printf #define esyslog printf time_t mjdtime;

/* Note that adjtime speeds up or slows down the system clock by just 500 usec per second. That means, a difference of 1 second is done after ~33 minutes and a diff of 30 seconds after ~16.6 hours

should this value become a setup parameter? */

#define MAXADJTIME 30 // seconds

/* this is a modified cMJD::SetSystemTime() from eit.c */ bool SetSystemTime(void) { time_t loctim, diff; struct timeval delta;

loctim = time(NULL); /* system time in seconds since epoch */ diff = mjdtime - loctim;

if ( abs(diff) > 0 ) { isyslog("System Time = %s (%ld)\n", ctime(&loctim), loctim); isyslog("Local Time = %s (%ld)\n", ctime(&mjdtime), mjdtime); }

if ( abs(diff) > MAXADJTIME ) { if (stime(&mjdtime) < 0) esyslog("ERROR while setting system time: %m\n");

return true; } else if ( abs(diff) > 0 ) { delta.tv_sec = diff; delta.tv_usec = 0;

if (adjtime(&delta, NULL) < 0) esyslog("ERROR while adjusting system time: %m\n");

return true; }

return false; }

int main(void) { bool result;

mjdtime = time(NULL) + 20 ; /* adjust the time by +20 seconds */ result = SetSystemTime();

return result; } --------------------------------------
