    If I read the source correctly, time_second can go backwards or
    forwards when there is a leap second but time_uptime cannot. Am I
    right? If my assumption is right, it seems we have some misuses in
    kernel, e. g., sched_sync() in sys/kern/vfs_subr.c. It may not be
    critical but it worries me a little because a leap second is
    scheduled to occur at the end of this year. ;-)

    Thanks,

    Jung-uk Kim
