There are cases where the EFI runtime services may end up in a funny state, e.g., due to a crash in the variable services, and this affects other EFI runtime services as well. That means that, even though GetTime() should not return an error, there are cases where it might, and there is no point in logging such an occurrence multiple times. This works around an issue where user space -apparently- keeps hitting on /dev/rtc if it fails to read the h/w clock, resulting in a tsunami of log spam and a non-responsive system as a result.

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.
