Posix compliant CLOCK_PROCESS/THREAD_CPUTIME_ID V4

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Tue Sep 28 2004 - 22:28:17 EST


George asked for a test program so I wrote one and debugged the patch.
The test program uses syscall to bypass glibc processing. I have been
working on a patch for glibc but that gets a bit complicated
because backwards compatibility has to be kept. Maybe tomorrow.
Found also that glibc allows the setting of these clocks so I also
implemented that and used it in the test program. Setting these
clocks modifies stime and utime directly, which may not be such a good
idea. Do we really need to be able to set these clocks?

So it actually works now. Test output, test program and revised patch:
