[Test Case] * Run: sudo busybox hwclock -s * It should succeed in the fixed version [Where problems could occur] * The fix calls the originally called glibc function twice, instead of passing both non-NULL parameters at once. If this compiles there should be no other issue. [Original Bug Text] With glibc 2.31, hwclock from busybox is unable to set the system time due to the changes in settimeofday behavior. The problem has been reported upstream in [1] which also contains a patch. hwclock from busybox is important as it's used on the Raspberry Pi to set the system time when an RTC is present. This bug applies to focal and groovy.
