[PATCH 2/4] posix-cpu-timers: Introduction of wall clocks
Currently Linux lacks a good way to get an elapsed time of a process/thread. This patch adds the interface to obtain this piece of information. The access to the new thread/process clock is restricted according to the same rules as the access to the CPU clocks. POSIX_CLOCK_WALL occupies previously unused value ... 30 Jul 2010 06:25

[PATCH 3/4] posix-cpu-timers: Wider access to the thread clocks
Per-thread clocks are so far accessible only within the same thread group. This patch makes it possible to get this information for any thread of the same user and for a user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. same_thread_group is not used anymore because if the thread is in the same thread group as 'current' then t... 30 Jul 2010 06:25

One may get them using: git clone http://pentium.hopto.org/~thinred/repos/clock-test.git During our work we encountered a problem of obtaining a reliable and fine-gra... 30 Jul 2010 06:25
