The specification says:
0x00 TIME_LOW R: Get current time, then return low-order 32-bits.
0x04 TIME_HIGH R: Return high 32-bits from previous TIME_LOW read.
...
To read the value, the kernel must perform an IO_READ(TIME_LOW),
which returns an unsigned 32-bit value, before an IO_READ(TIME_HIGH),
which returns a signed 32-bit value, corresponding to the higher half
of the full value.
However, we were just returning the current time for both. If the guest
is unlucky enough to read TIME_LOW and TIME_HIGH either side of an
overflow of the lower half, it will see time be in the future, before
jumping backwards on the next read, and Linux currently relies on the
atomicity guaranteed by the spec so is affected by this. Fix this
violation of the spec by caching the correct value for TIME_HIGH
whenever TIME_LOW is read, and returning that value for any TIME_HIGH
read.

This patch adds model for Google Goldfish virtual platform RTC device.
We will be adding Goldfish RTC device to the QEMU RISC-V virt machine
for providing real date-time to Guest Linux. The corresponding Linux
driver for Goldfish RTC device is already available in upstream Linux.
For now, VM migration support is available but untested for Goldfish RTC
device. It will be hardened in-future when we implement VM migration for
KVM RISC-V.
