[PATCH 18/18] linux: Only use 64-bit syscall if required for clock_nanosleep

Hi Adhemerval,

> For !__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS there is no need to issue a 64-bit

> usage should be rare since the timeout is a relative one.

I'm not sure if the above description is correct.

As fair as I understand this patch set - we check if timeout fits into
32-bit if:

- We want to use legacy (32 bit) syscall when __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS
  is not defined to avoid calling syscalls twice.

The problem with relative 64 bit timeouts will be apparent after we
pass Y2038 year threshold.

Please correct me if I'm wrong:

> +  support_create_timer (0, 100000000, false, NULL);

You create timer with 100ms timeout

> +  struct timespec ts = { TYPE_MAXIMUM (time_t), 0 };

ts is created to have maximal value for time_t seconds.

> +  int r = clock_nanosleep (CLOCK_REALTIME, 0, &ts, NULL);

The clock_nanosleep is called (64 or 32 bit version - with proper
in-glibc aliasing).

> +  TEST_VERIFY (r == EINTR || r == EOVERFLOW);

We check if:

- return is EOVERFLOW - this means that we want to use 64 bit time on
  machine which is only supporting 64 bit time.

- return is EINTR - as the timer's (introduced in the earlier patch in
  this set) alarm triggers. Am I right that this check is to find out
  if the syscall is correctly executed by the kernel?

  Or is there any other issue?
