Message : Use system uptime not UTC time to calculate PPPoE session duration Systems without RTC are likely to boot with wrong time, but pppoe(4) used microtime(9) anyway to remember when a new session began. (In)adequately, ifconfig(8) used gettimeofday(2) and calculated the difference between two absoloute dates to infer the PPPoE session duration. This goes off the rails if the wall clock jumps in between, e.g. due to NTP kicking in. Use getmicrouptime(9) and clock_gettime(2)/CLOCK_BOOTTIME instead to rely on the monotonically increasing system uptime instead to fix this. Reported and tested by Peter J. Philipp <pjp AT delphinusdns DOT org> on some octeon box without RTC. I've seen this on a Edgerouter 4 as well (2m uptime, 19d session). OK claudio
