I appreciate seeing finally kernel support for this but have a few problems with the actual implementation:
- CLONE_ITIMERS
The meaning of the flag should be reverted. Since sharing itimers among all threads in a process is the POSIX behaviour this bit must be set. But it is not in existing implementation for obvious reasons.
This is a general problem with extensions to the clone interface.
- MAX_ITIMERS
This should be TIMER_MAX. POSIX does not define MAX_ITIMERS.
- There is no DELAYTIMER_MAX definition.
This might be missing since the implementation is not yet finished but in case this is not the reason please add it.
