[Simon Déziel <1566465@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1) Force a time delta
date -s "now - 1 hour"
2) Restart systemd-timesyncd to have it fix the time
systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd

Expected behavior:

The clock should be back in sync.

Actual (problematic) behavior:

The clock stays out of sync because the call to clock_adjtime() failed.

This problem doesn't happen when running kernel 4.4.0-16.32. Looking at the changelog of 4.4.0-17.33 it could be because of the new feature introduced in LP: #1519625.
