No, we do not expose kernel internals like this to user space. The
kernel internal representation of time is subject to change.
Also abusing the reminder argument of clock_nanosleep for handing back
the offset is a horrible hack including the non standard -ECANCELED
return value. No, we don't change posix interfaces that way.
We can add something to timerfd, but definitly not with another
syscall and by bloating hrtimer and sprinkling cancellation calls all
over the place. clock_was_set() should be enough and it already calls
into the hrtimer code, the resume path calls into it as well, so
there is no need to introduce such a mess.
The completely untested patch below should solve the same problem in a
sane way. Restricted to timerfd, but that really should be sufficient.
Thanks,
