x86/time: prefer CMOS over EFI_GET_TIME
The EFI_GET_TIME implementation is well known to be broken for many firmware implementations, for Xen the result on such implementations are: ----[ Xen-4.19-unstable x86_64 debug=y Tainted: C ]---- CPU: 0 RIP: e008:[<0000000062ccfa70>] 0000000062ccfa70 [...] Xen call trace: [<0000000062ccfa70>] R 0000000062ccfa70 [<00000000732e9a3f>] S 00000000732e9a3f [<ffff82d04034f34f>] F arch/x86/time.c#get_cmos_time+0x1b3/0x26e [<ffff82d04045926f>] F init_xen_time+0x28/0xa4 [<ffff82d040454bc4>] F __start_xen+0x1ee7/0x2578 [<ffff82d040203334>] F __high_start+0x94/0xa0 Pagetable walk from 0000000062ccfa70: L4[0x000] = 000000207ef1c063 ffffffffffffffff L3[0x001] = 000000005d6c0063 ffffffffffffffff L2[0x116] = 8000000062c001e3 ffffffffffffffff (PSE) **************************************** Panic on CPU 0: FATAL PAGE FAULT [error_code=0011] Faulting linear address: 0000000062ccfa70 **************************************** Swap the preference to default to CMOS first, and EFI later, in an attempt to use EFI_GET_TIME as a last resort option only. Note that Linux for example doesn't allow calling the get_time method, and instead provides a dummy handler that unconditionally returns EFI_UNSUPPORTED on x86-64. Such change in the preferences requires some re-arranging of the function logic, so that panic messages with workaround suggestions are suitably printed.
