Posix compliant cpu clocks V6 [2/3]: Glibc patch
From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Fri Oct 01 2004 - 15:11:04 EST
The following patch makes glibc not provide the above clocks and use the
kernel clocks instead if either of the following condition is met:
1. __ASSUME_POSIX_TIMERS is set
2. A call to probe the posix function is made if the corresponding
__NR_clock_* is defined. If the call is successful then the kernel clocks
will be used. Otherwise glibc will fall back to its own implementation of
the clocks.
The clock_gettime clock_settime and clock_res calls will use the corresponding
system calls for other clocks than CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC,
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID.
Patch needs some additional testing....
