In RTL3.0-pre7 clock_gethrtime() works per manual page: ie it
returns the time elapsed since the Epoch.
In RTL3.0-pre8 clock_gethrtime() has reverted to its previous
and incorrect behaviour: it returns the time elapsed since last
boot.
Also, I use xntpd. When using RTL3.0-pre7 I find that the time reported
by clock_gethrtime() in my RT process drifts wrt the time reported
by ntp_gettime() in my non-RT process. It appears that CLOCK_REALTIME
is *not* the clock disciplined by xntpd. Is it possible to access the
disciplined clock from RT processes? The control system is intended
for an astronomical application where it is essential to have UTC with
millisec accuracy.
