Here you go. I'm gathering I won't convince you to get the final form of
the new code into 2.6.10, in which case just holding off on the addition by
doing this reversion patch for 2.6.10 and putting the new stuff in 2.6.11
is what I'd like to see. Cristoph and I will work through the nits and
cleanups the patch I posted needs; I expect we'll have a consensus version
of the patch for you soon.

I ran glibc's clock and timer tests on a vanilla Linus kernel of today plus
this patch, and they behaved properly for a kernel not supporting any
process-CPU clockid_t values.


Thanks,
Roland



[PATCH] back out CPU clock additions to posix-timers

This patch reverts the additions of an ABI supporting thread and process
CPU clocks in the posix-timers code. This returns us to 2.6.9's condition,
there is no support for any new clockid_t values for process CPU clocks.

This also fixes the return value for clock_nanosleep when unsupported (I
think this is used only by sgi-timer at the moment). The POSIX-specified
code for valid clocks that don't support the sleep operation is ENOTSUP.
On most architectures the kernel doesn't define ENOTSUP and this name is
defined in userland the same as the kernel's EOPNOTSUPP.
