cmos_read_alarm() may leave certain fields of a struct rtc_wkalrm untouched; therefore, these fields contain garbage if not properly initialized, leading to inconsistent values when converting into time64_t. This patch to zero initialize the struct before calling cmos_read_alarm(). Note that this patch is not intended to produce a correct time64_t, it is only to produce a consistent value. In the case of suspend/resume, a correct time64_t is not necessary; a consistent value is sufficient to correctly perform an equality test for t_current_expires and t_saved_expires. Logic to deduce a correct time64_t is expensive and hence should be avoided.

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.
