Thomas,
(I gues you are the right target for this?)
The POSIX.1 specification of nanosleep() says:
But, except for the case of being interrupted by a signal, the
suspension time shall not be less than the time specified by
rqtp, as measured by the system clock CLOCK_REALTIME.
However, reading kernel/hrtimer.c:sys_nanosleep(), it appears that
CLOCK_MONOTONIC is used.
return hrtimer_nanosleep(&tu, rmtp, HRTIMER_MODE_REL, CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
Is there a reason to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC, instead of CLOCK_REALTIME? Is it
intentional? If yes, then I should document this in the man-pages. If not,
then it should be fixed.
Cheers,
Michael
