clockid_to_kclock(CLOCK_REALTIME) is &clock_realtime, so clock_gettime
calls ktime_get_real_ts64, which is:


do {
seq = read_seqcount_begin(&tk_core.seq);

ts->tv_sec = tk->xtime_sec;
nsecs = timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_mono);

} while (read_seqcount_retry(&tk_core.seq, seq));

ts->tv_nsec = 0;
timespec64_add_ns(ts, nsecs);

time(2) instead should actually be gettimeofday(2), which just returns
tk->xtime_sec. So the problem is the nanosecond part which is off by
2199*10^9 nanoseconds, and that is suspiciously close to 2^31...
