The recent change to prevent that time goes backwards for the coarse time
getters due to immediate multiplier adjustments via adjtimex(), changed the
way how the timekeeping core treats that.
That change result in a regression on the adjtimex() side, which is user
space visible:
1) The forwarding of the base time moves the update out of the original
period and establishes a new one. That's changing the behaviour of the
[PF]LL control, which user space expects to be applied periodically.
2) The clearing of the accumulated NTP error due to #1, changes the
behaviour as well.
It was tried to delay the multiplier/frequency update to the next tick, but
that did not solve the problem as userspace expects that the multiplier or
frequency updates are in effect, when the syscall returns.
There is a different solution for the coarse time problem available, so
revert the offending commit to restore the existing adjtimex() behaviour.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
