[PATCH 3/6 -mm] cpu-timers: return correct previous timer reload value

From: Stanislaw Gruszka
Date: Wed Jan 20 2010 - 07:38:13 EST


According POSIX we need to correctly set old timer it_interval value
when user request that in timer_settime(). Tested using below program.

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(void)
{
struct sigaction act;
struct sigevent evt = { };
timer_t tid;
struct itimerspec spec, u_spec, k_spec;

evt.sigev_notify = SIGEV_SIGNAL;
evt.sigev_signo = SIGPROF;
assert(timer_create(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &evt, &tid) == 0);

spec.it_value.tv_sec = 1;
spec.it_value.tv_nsec = 2;
spec.it_interval.tv_sec = 3;
spec.it_interval.tv_nsec = 4;
u_spec = spec;
assert(timer_settime(tid, 0, &spec, NULL) == 0);

spec.it_value.tv_sec = 5;
spec.it_value.tv_nsec = 6;
spec.it_interval.tv_sec = 7;
spec.it_interval.tv_nsec = 8;
assert(timer_settime(tid, 0, &spec, &k_spec) == 0);

#define PRT(val) printf(#val ":\t%d/%d\n", (int) u_spec.val, (int) k_spec.val)
PRT(it_value.tv_sec);
PRT(it_value.tv_nsec);
PRT(it_interval.tv_sec);
PRT(it_interval.tv_nsec);

return 0;
}
