New Revision: 247101
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/247101

Log:
  Use critical_enter/critical_exit around the time sensitive part of
  this code to depessimize the worst case we've lived with silently and
  uneventfully for the past 12 years. Add a comment about a refinement
  for those needing more assurance of accuracy.
  
  Fix ddb's show rtc command deadlock potential when debugging rtc code
  by not taking the lock if we're in the debugger. If you need a thumb
  to count the number of people that have encountered this, I'd be
  surprised.
