RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2014-07-08 08:35:26 UTC
Now upstream:

commit 654a36d857ff949e0d1989904b76f53fded9dc83
Author: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti>
Date:   Wed Jun 4 14:52:03 2014 -0300

    mc146818rtc: add "rtc-time" link to "/machine/rtc"
    
    Add a link to rtc under /machine providing a stable
    location for management apps to query the value of the
    time.  The link should be added by any object that sends
    RTC_TIME_CHANGE events.
    
    {"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":"/machine","property":"rtc-time"} }
    
    Suggested by Paolo Bonzini and Andreas Faerber.

Assigning back to Marcelo so that he takes care of the bug during QE.

Update this bz to qemu-kvm-rhev component since this bz is fixed qemu2.1. Free to correct me if there is wrong.

Comment 9 Sibiao Luo 2014-10-08 03:04:02 UTC
Verify this issue with the instruction of comment #8 on qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-1.el7.x86_64.
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm-rhev && rpm -q seabios
3.10.0-171.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-1.el7.x86_64
seabios-1.7.5-5.el7.x86_64
guest info:
3.10.0-171.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1) Start guest via qemu command line.
e.g:/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc -S -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4,sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection...-rtc base=localtime,clock=host,driftfix=slew...
2) Execute the following QMP commands:
{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":"/machine","property":"rtc-time"} }

3) Save the output of "qom-get" command.
{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":"/machine","property":"rtc-time"} }
{"return": {"tm_year": 114, "tm_sec": 46, "tm_hour": 2, "tm_min": 53, "tm_mon": 9, "tm_mday": 8}}

4) Read RTC date inside the guest.
# hwclock 
Wed 08 Oct 2014 10:53:59 AM CST  -10.010463 seconds

5) Adjust RTC date inside the guest with "hwclock" command (--set --data XXXX i believe) to current RTC value minus one hour.
# hwclock --set --date "2014-10-08 11:53:59"

6) Execute the same "qom-get" command as in step 2.
{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":"/machine","property":"rtc-time"} }
{"return": {"tm_year": 114, "tm_sec": 16, "tm_hour": 3, "tm_min": 54, "tm_mon": 9, "tm_mday": 8}}

Results:
The difference between the values of "qom-get" in step 3 and step 6 is differ by approximately 1 hour.
{"return": {"tm_year": 114, "tm_sec": 46, "tm_hour": 2, "tm_min": 53, "tm_mon": 9, "tm_mday": 8}}                                  ^^^^^

{"return": {"tm_year": 114, "tm_sec": 16, "tm_hour": 3, "tm_min": 54, "tm_mon": 9, "tm_mday": 8}}                                  ^^^^^

Base on above, this issue has been fixed correctly, move to VERIFIED status, please correct me if any mistake, thanks.

Best Regards,
sluo

I can get the RTC_CHANGE event after this steps.
