[PATCH RT 02/12] Latency histograms: Adjust timer, if already elapsed when programmed

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Jul 17 2012 - 11:33:07 EST


From: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@xxxxxxxxx>

Nothing prevents a programmer from calling clock_nanosleep() with an
already elapsed wakeup time in absolute time mode or with a too small
delay in relative time mode. Such timers cannot wake up in time and,
thus, should be corrected when entered into the missed timers latency
histogram (CONFIG_MISSED_TIMERS_HIST).

This patch marks such timers and uses a corrected expiration time.
