In the current implementation, leap seconds are only synchronized during the bootup process when the STP clock is synced. If the Leap second offset (LSO) changes the machine must be rebooted, which is not desired. This patch adds the required code to handle Leap second changes during runtime. If the Leap second changes, a Configuration change machine check is triggered. The STP code than schedules a Leap second insertion/deletion with do_adjtimex().

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 Restructured Text 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.
