[PATCH 07/10] posix-cpu-timers: timer functions must use timer time instead of clock time

From: kosaki . motohiro
Date: Mon Apr 29 2013 - 23:18:27 EST


From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For process timer, we use cpu_clock_sample_group() and cpu_timer_sample_group()
correctly. However for thread timer, we always use cpu_clock_sample().
That's wrong becuase cpu_clock_sample() account uncommited delta_exec too. And
this is inconsistency against run_posix_cpu_tiemrs().

This is not big matter because a following workaround code in
posix_cpu_timer_get() hides the timer miscalculation issue. However it makes
wrong rq lock held and would be better to fix.

if (cpu_time_before(timer->it_clock, now, timer->it.cpu.expires)) {
...
} else {
/*
* The timer should have expired already, but the firing
* hasn't taken place yet. Say it's just about to expire.
*/
itp->it_value.tv_nsec = 1;
itp->it_value.tv_sec = 0;
